Quotes from Westinghouse coach Diane Davis: "Perk has affections smile and positive energy about him. He carries himself as a caring, hardworking and an extraordinary student athlete. His winning attitude is also contagious. He makes other players around him better. He sacrifices himself and spread himself all over the courts, (arms and legs) to help team with his defensive stops in hitting, blocking, and spiking at the net. I am sad to see him go after this season. He has been accepted to California University of PA. He will be majoring in Health Science. Darryl wants to be an Athletic Trainer. He will succeed. Good Luck."
