MERRIMACK, NH - Merrimack High School's Top 10: Pheonyx Stopyra

As a four-year, two-sport varsity athlete, and captain of the wrestling team as a junior and senior, secretary of National Honor Society, member of the school newspaper, and a second degree black belt in Kenpo karate, Pheonyx prides himself on maintaining balance to develop himself physically, mentally, and morally.
