Quotes from Gateway coach Kate McCauley: "John has been a great leader on and off the court for our players. He shows the team what it takes to be a diverse player and be coachable by playing where we throw him for the day. He has been an integral member of the Gateway team for all four years but especially in my last two years with the team he has been a major asset for me. He is going to do great things at UPJ no matter what he aspires to do.
