The Knights started off 5-1, but injuries began to creep in and they struggled in the final half of the season. Still, they remained in playoff contention until the final week.

I think that will be vital to the upcoming year to start the year with confidence.” Rocchio also spotlighted the value of his ...

While this is a sad reality for thousands of young men, John Glenn head coach Matt Rocchio is doing a great job of finding the positive.

Q & A With Cole Lindquist
Smaller programs such as John Glenn rely on strong individual grad classes to prosper together and deliver a playoff-berth for the school. John Glenn would’ve likely made a playoff run in 2020 had there been a season thanks to seniors like Dan Brown (Pace), Aidan Desmond (Gettysburg) and Matt Polestino (SUNY New Paltz). While it is unfortunate that they didn’t get a season, they do seem to be on the right path considering some of the players they still have in the program for the next two years. One particularly exciting player is two-way player Cole Lindquist. According to his coach, he said “he can literally play anywhere but he has really been shining on the mound.” This summer while playing for MVP Beast 2022, “he has been lights out.” He compiled a ...
