Lezoghia Member – Meneh

Lezoghia came to St. Louis 12 years ago with his family as refugees from Nigeria. He is the son of Tsaro and Flora Member-Meneh. Formerly members of the Lutheran Church in Nigeria, the entire Member-Meneh family joined Messiah Lutheran Church shortly after their arrival here.

Lezoghia has been a CFNA scholarship student for six years, and is now a senior at Lutheran High School South. He is also a member of the LHSS varsity basketball team.

During a closely contested game with Lutheran High School North (South won, 64-62), Lezoghia scored his 1,000th point as a member of the varsity team. He is only the 13th player to do so in the 50 year history of LHSS. To commemorate this milestone, the referees stopped the game and an announcement was made which was received with much applause.

A diligent student, Lezoghia looks forward to attending college next year with the thought of studying physical therapy – possibly at Loyola University. Please join CFNA in wishing him the very best!

Lezoghia receives congratulations from CFNA Chairman, Dr. Allan Buckman.
