Staff reporter Bridget Kinross interviewed Vitale about his accomplishment and about the team’s season so far.

Bridget Kinross: What is it like leading a team?

Jon Vitale: Leading a team is very difficult because it varies on day to day. If you’re having a bad day it doesn’t just matter about yourself, you have to involve the whole team to succeed.  

BK: How has the team been doing?

JV: The teams been doing pretty well. We need two more wins to make states. All of our games are winnable.  

BK: What advice would you give to future captains?

JV: Make personal relationships with everyone on your team. They still need to respect you in order for them to listen to you. You must gain their respect, too.

BK: How do you feel you’re doing individually?

JV: I think i’m doing very well. Every time I get the ball I feel very in control. This is my best year all around.

BK: How far do you hope to make it this season?

JV:  Our goals went from freshman year, which was to just make states, to this year, where our goal is to win games at states, which we are capable of right now.
