The Baller of the Month award is an award given monthly to a player voted on by their teammates to recognize all the hard work they have put into the team throughout the month. March’s winner is Griffin Johnson! Here are his responses to some brief interview questions.
What aspects of the game have you improved most on since last season?
Overall, my throw has improved the most. There has been improvement in every facet of my skill as a Dodgeball player but I am definitely showing the most growth there.
What are you most excited about for nationals this season?
This will be my last nationals, so I am yearning to prove to the other teams that Platteville is a force to be reckoned with no matter our opponent.
What is one goal you hope to achieve by the end to this season?
I want to get a fully accurate throw that i can place anywhere; a bonus would be having it at 70 mph. I’d also like to get a catch in every game at nationals, but that’s more of a side goal.
How do you hope to impact the team for your shortened season next year?
Even though I’ll only be here in the Fall, I’m going to make it my goal to help with recruitment and helping the newer players, who will become our top players eventually, grow.
We are incredibly proud of the improvements and leadership Griffin has displayed this year! He has shown great dedication and effort in the growth of our club and women’s team.
