Let’s take a look at his interview on how he feels about winning!
Q: How do you feel about winning this award?
A: I am honored that the team selected me to receive this award. I wanted to see the best brought out in the team because my teammates helped me be the best dodgeball player I could be.
Q: What do you hope to see the club achieve this coming season?
A: Next season I plan to see Platteville in the championship bracket at Nationals. With the momentum from winning the consolation bracket this year, the club will be off to a great start next season.
Q: What advice would you give to younger and new players?
