Most Improved Player....Matt Happe #74

BIG UPS go out to the most improved player from the Francis Howell game #74, MATT HAPPE!

Affectionately known by most of the CBC student body as Captain Matt, #74 is definitely worthy of this honor. As a member of the starting offensive line, Matt has been known as a team leader since his Freshman days. In this particular game, it appears that Matt's natural leadership abilities led the coaches to recognize the contribution he makes on the field in addition to the contributions he is notorious for making that consistently benefit the team at large.

The email naming Matt as this game's Most Improved Player contained the following information:

"Matt Happe- has steadily improved his play as the season has progressed. Matt improved by 20% points from Vianney to this week."

NO SURPRISE HERE....THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED TO EXPECT FROM THIS EXCEPTIONAL TEAM LEADER!!!!

What are your personal football goals for this year?

-My personal goal is to keep the FUN TRAIN truckin.

Do you have a football "HERO"? Who is it and why is he your hero?

-I felt like Brad Luberda also deserved this award for stepping in when Adam Ryan was unable to play.

Would you like to give a special someone a "shout-out"? Here's your chance....

-Two words: FUN TRAIN

Congratulations on this honor Matt, no one deserves it more!
