valuable as a player to coaches,”

hitter the most because that
is where most of the game is decided,
the volleyball star said.

the moment and that over the
next couple of years, he could
David Heylinger Jr. on the court. Courtesy of York College
eventually be named Player of
the Year.

Jr. not only performs well
athletically, but also as a leader
on the team
He motivates others and is
able to teach and learn from
others while keeping a calm demeanor,

that the freshman has strong
determination toward his goals
and that he doesn’t give up.

to where he is now he had to
overcome obstacles getting into
school.

education and hopes to be
a teacher after graduation. In
his free time he enjoys playing
sports including basketball.
