March&#8217;s winner is Griffin Johnson! 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>What aspects of the game have you improved most on since last season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are you most excited about for nationals this season?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is one goal you hope to achieve by the end to this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to get a fully accurate throw that i can place anywhere; a bonus would be having it at 70 mph. I&#8217;d also like to get a catch in every game at nationals, but that&#8217;s more of a side goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you hope to impact the team for your shortened season next year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though I&#8217;ll only be here in the Fall, I&#8217;m going to make it my goal to help with recruitment and helping the newer players, who will become our top players eventually, grow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;s team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2025\/04\/March-BOTM-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2025\/04\/March-BOTM-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2025\/04\/March-BOTM-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2025\/04\/March-BOTM-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2025\/04\/March-BOTM-102x128.png 102w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2025\/04\/March-BOTM-26x32.png 26w, https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/files\/2025\/04\/March-BOTM.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/2025\/04\/03\/march-2025-baller-of-the-month\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;March 2025 Baller of the Month&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":80,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-baller-of-the-month"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/80"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3132"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3132\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3145,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3132\/revisions\/3145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncdadodgeball.com\/uwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
