Mom and Dad: The love and support that you both have given me has been phenomenal. Dad, to think that you have only missed a handful of home games the past four years speaks for itself. I’ve been so blessed to be able to share this experience with the both of you.
Jessica and Lou: Thank-you for all your understanding, encouragement, and support. I couldn’t have asked for a better pair of siblings.
Coach Beibel: It is hard to imagine we’ve ben together for nearly one hundred games. Your confidence and trust in me the past four years has been tremendous. Thank-you for helping me grow as a player, and more importantly, a person.
Coach Wittman: You taught me more about life than anyone else the past four years. Thank you for bringing me insight, wisdom, encouragement, and guidance.
Coach Johnson: Thank-you for bringing me to Saint Mary’s and giving me a chance to continue playing basketball after high school. Your encouragement, support, and especially that opportunity has been wonderful.
Coach Mess and Coach Treptow: Thank-you for all the time and energy you’ve put into this team. Oh yeah, WSU is way overrated!
To my teammates, past and present: The game really doesn’t mean much without the people who make it special. Thank you for the great times and great friendships. Those things I will have forever, and I can’t begin to say how much that means to me.
Finally, the fans: Your support and friendships have been unforgettable. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to all of you. Thank-you for being there through the wins and the losses. I also appreciate the encouragement you have given the officials of the MIAC for their outstanding judgment calls the past four years — yeah, right! And Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone … .
