But you know it’s not about Edward Hubert, it’s about the 26 young men & women recipients to date and to those in the future who represent the ideals of this award. 

A man we all know, Jerry Welsh, who certainly has been my mentor, always said there are 3 things critical to being a successful athlete. 

Be a good person – with good values, morals, respect, and character 

Be a good student – develop a disciplined work ethic, never stop learning 

Be a good athlete – challenge yourself to improve, accept your team role 

If you keep these 3 priorities straight, you’ll be successful at whatever you do. 

I want to thank Tim Currier, Commissioner of Massena Basketball Association, Varsity coaches Tom Miller & Andrea Matejcik, and the Massena School Administration for making tonight’s recognition possible. 

Thanks to my family and many friends and guests for being here tonight. 

I know my family will be proud each and every year this award is given. 

Thanks to you all for creating another memory for me. 

GOD bless you all!
