LOOKING BACK AND FORWARD
What are your future plans after high school?
Caleb: “I will be attending Finger Lakes Community College to major in Sports Management. I also plan on transferring to a bigger school to finish my Bachelor’s Degree in the same field.”
What coaches have influenced you the most throughout your high school career? Why?
Caleb: “ Coach Mark (Sullivan). He’s a big influence because he not only pushed me and my teammates hard in practice everyday, but he also made us into good individuals off the field. Coty Winchell did the same thing as Coach Sullivan as well. And Coach Derek (Kenyon), he always makes every baseball practice fun. He worked us hard, and really expected the best from us.”
How much has it meant to you to represent your school’s colors in the sports arena?
Caleb: “Since I started playing sports, it has given me great pride to wear my school colors and represent my school on different fields.”
What has been some of your favorite sports memories over the years in school?
Caleb: “We won a Sectional championship against Bradford in the 2017 Finals, and then we kept finding our way back to the Finals two more years after winning the title. All the baseball practices have been fun, and during soccer, watching Coach Sullivan jam out to Katy Perry during practice was also a ton of fun.”
What’s your farewell message to your underclassmen at your school?
Caleb: “I wish everyone the best of luck in the journey of life, and throughout the rest of your high school years. Don’t ever give up on your dreams. Work hard every day, because it’s all going to pay off. Never settle.”
