Joey is our captain and the best player on our team; yet he treats every player on our team (varsity or JV) with the utmost respect and care. Here is an example of Joey helping others. Over Christmas break, I was out of town, so one of my other players was taking care of our cats. As he was coming up our driveway, he caught a rut in the snow and pulled his car off the driveway into the ditch/swamp area. Joey lived 40 minutes away, but drove all the way out to my house to help him dig the car out and pull it out of the ditch with his truck. He is the first guy to meet the little mites outside the locker room to give them five and talk with them. He helps anyone that needs it. Joey is a great student and very hard worker. He is one of the top 5 kids that I have coached in my 36 year career. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is a tremendous human being.
