“Perhaps the best athlete I ever had the opportunity to coach— whether it was football, soccer, basketball, or baseball. Mike played at another level at which most athletes play, and it was a joy to watch. I feel like he could have also played baseball professionally if given the chance!”

–Coach Ed Walton
