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. This month’s recipient is senior Caleb Laux. Here’s what he had to say:
Q: How do you feel about receiving the BOTM award?
A: Glad, but excited to see who else steps it up this season.
Q: How are you planning on continuing going forward?
A: My job this year is to be a leader on the court, getting better at communication and having a presence on the court is where I will gain the most from this year.
The following are some thoughts from our team captains on Caleb as a player.
Tomas Zander– Caleb Laux is developing into quite the leader. His teammates clearly trust him on the court. He leads by example and by being a vocal leader. Laux has also developed his accuracy this last season. When he combines his speed with that accuracy he will become a nightmare for teams.
Nicholas Stocks– At the end of last season, Caleb developed his throw to be one of the best on the team and it has transferred to this season. He will be someone to watch out for on the court because along with a hard throw he can run up quick on a player. He’s also the club’s vice president and has been doing a fantastic work for the club behind the scenes. On and off the court he has been a great guy to play and work with.
Congrats again to Caleb Laux! We look forward to see who’s next. Go ‘Neers!
