During Nick Leddy's senior year in 2008-2009, he was the key factor in bringing the Eden Prairie Eagles to the state tournament. But Nick Leddy didn't stop there. He pushed the team even farther and they captured the 2008-2009 state tournament championship title--the first in Eden Prairie's school history!
