Hi, I’m Deven Patel, Program Director for Hall County Lacrosse. My lacrosse journey began as a freshman at Buford High School, joining the team in just its second year. We struggled that first season, but by my junior year, we made the Final Four. Eight years later, Buford won its first state championship—showing what’s possible when a program is built the right way.

After high school, I played club lacrosse at Georgia Southern, where I also served on the team’s leadership board from 2017 to 2019. I later transferred to the University of Georgia and earned a degree in Financial Planning.

Today, I’m the Defensive Coordinator at Gainesville High School and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ at Windsor Wealth Planners & Strategists. I also serve on the board of the Gainesville Jaycees, supporting our local community.

With Hall County Lacrosse, my goal is to build strong fundamentals through efficient training and quality instruction—preparing players to thrive in high school and beyond.
