Luke Sieber

Class of 2013

Luke Sieber is a 2013 graduate of Apex High School and he will forever be known in Apex Athletics lore as being on the passing end of one of the most iconic plays, not just in Apex Lacrosse history, but in school history. With seven seconds remaining in a tied State Championship game, Apex put the game on the shoulders of Luke Sieber and Derek Sweet. The dynamic duo did not disappoint. Luke drew the double team from the Lake Norman defense and passed to Derek on the doorstep for the classic “dip and dunk” finish. With that goal, Apex Men’s Lacrosse captured its second State Championship (in the most dramatic fashion) with one second remaining. The play capped a comeback that saw Apex down by five goals late in the third quarter and set off a wild celebration at Wake Med Park.

That memorable play also capped a fantastic career for Luke that saw him play in 3 state final fours and two state championship games. Luke was a key contributor on the 2010 team that was runner up to Myers Park in the championship game. Luke played both midfield and attack throughout his career and excelled at both. Below is a summary of some of Luke’s individual accomplishments, but he will be the first to tell you that capping his career with the state championship was the most memorable and meaningful accomplishment for him. The fact that in that final moment of his career he was once again linked to his childhood friend and teammate, Derek Sweet, completed what was a storybook career and cemented his legacy as one of the best to ever play Lacrosse at Apex High School. Luke went on to play collegiately at Division 3 powerhouse Lynchburg before transferring to App State.
