The All-State setter for the 2008 championship Townies repeats as a first-team selection after a season in which he logged 250 assists as a setter and 101 kills from the right side. He was also class valedictorian. “His value to the team was more his leadership and overall knowledge of the game. He controlled the offense even though he set only half the time. If he got the ball on the right side, he scored. We lose John Caruolo this year, we struggle,” coach Keith Martinous said.
