“Outside of my studies, baseball gave me a release from all my responsibilities and helped me to grow as a person. My advice for underclassmen would be to not become wrapped up in yourself because high school is more than just schoolwork. Trinity Catholic has so much to offer in clubs and sports, and there are new and fun opportunities waiting for you. You will find so many good people if you try to step out of your comfort zone!”
