Coach speak: “He’s had such a great spring and he’s smart, a 3.8 GPA guy. He’s positive all the time, whether he went 4-for-4 or 0-for-4, you’d never know the difference. He works so hard in the offseason and the weight room, got a lot stronger. He led off and set the table for us and then stole 26 of 28 bases.” — Millard South coach Greg Geary.
