This week the focus is on student athlete, Matty Vliek. Matty is a junior basketball player who currently is on jv but has high hopes for the season and is determined to get varsity minutes. Matty is looking forward to a winning season with the help of his teammates and their coach, coach Blauman, and a positive start to their season with their opener being against the Geneva Eagles. Matty is currently labeled as one of the best shooters on the team with him only falling slightly behind Varsity starter Chris Blauman. So far Matty has earned his Jv letter his sophomore year, and currently he is in a leadership spot and looks forward to the responsibilities he will be taking in this season. Matty's hard work and dedication in the off-season has motivated him to not only improve himself on the court but off it as well. He is still pushing to be even better hoping to become starting varsity for basketball, baseball, and have a 4.0 gpa when he finishes high school. Matty plans to continue playing basketball and maintain a solid gpa and I'm the future attend Ohio University for sports medicine. One of his best memories in highschool was watching his cousin, and best friend, Ryan Bowers score the game winning three against rival's Perry. In his off time Matty likes to spend time with his friends and enjoys rooting for his favorite hockey team, The Lake Erie Monsters.
