November&#8217;s winner is Eric Sullivan!  Here are his responses to some brief interview questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does it make you feel to be recognized for this award?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel honored that the team recognizes me for the baller of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you think this season has been going so far?&nbsp; What do you hope for the second half?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this season has been going great for the whole team. Lots of great stuff coming from the rookies and tons of growth from or veteran players. I hope to see even more of that as we move into the second half of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What role on the court do you hope to play more confidently?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the court I hope to play the center more confidently. I like getting outs and throwing the ball, but sometimes being in the center and applying pressure is more important and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What advice do you have for any new or incoming dodgeball players?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advice for incoming players:&nbsp;A tree doesn&#8217;t compete with the trees around it; it just grows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>We are very excited to see Eric continue to grow as a player and as a leader.
