Who is the unsung hero of your team and why? Noah MacGlashing is the unsung hero of our team. He is definitely a baseball player. He comes to play every game. His bat is always on and he rarely makes an error in the field. There isn’t a game that he doesn’t want to play. There’s always been a moment when I see him play and think to myself, “Wow he’s outstanding.” He can literally play any position on the field. 

What has been the biggest surprise of the season?When Brian Sullivan struck out Newmarkets No. 4 hitter. 

Who has been your toughest opponent and why? Sunapee has definitely been our toughest opponent and has been since my freshman year. We’ve struggled against them in the regular season all four years of high school and then in 2013 beat them in the semifinals to win the state championship. Till this day we still struggle against them. They’re always deep in the line-up with pitching, fielding and batting. 

Do you have any sports superstitions? If so, what are they? If no, why not? No. I don’t think about that type of stuff before games. I just think to myself, “Okay, you need to get your head in the game, and think a play ahead.” It’s all about pregame and getting yourself ready to play.  

What’s your favorite pre-game meal? Nacho Cheese Doritos.

If you weren’t playing your sport in the spring, what would you be doing? Most likely working. 

If you could go to see any sporting event, what would it be? Game 7 of the World Series at Fenway. Red Sox vs. Yankees. 

What’s your favorite place to eat? Any pizza place. 

What’s your most-played song right now? I don’t listen to a lot of music. Only when I’m in the car. 

Do you have any must-see television shows? “Flashpoint” and “Criminal Minds.” 

What’s your favorite website? YouTube.

If you could be anyone else, who would you be? Why? I would want to be Christian Vazquez. He is an amazing catcher for the Red Sox. 

If someone made a movie of your season, who would play you? Who would play your coach? Adam Sandler would play me in the movie of our season. Denton T. (Cy) Young would play Coach Stockman because they both know the game of baseball better than the back of their own hand. 

If you could invite any three people to dinner, who would they be, what would you serve them and what would you talk about? David Ortiz, Mark Wahlberg, and Jennifer Aniston. I would serve them steak, and we’d talk about what it’s like to be a famous.

If you won $10 million in the lottery, what would you do with it? First I would buy a new truck and house then I would save up the rest and help out my family.
