Quotes from Fox Chapel coach Phil O'Keeffe: "Josh has been around volleyball for quite some time now and aside from being an excellent player, has been a leader despite his age. He knows the game better than most, and is always striving to get better. He has been a libero for the better part of his career but took on the role of outside hitter this year. He struggled a bit passing and hitting when we first moved him to outside, so we moved him back to libero. From there his passing improve dramatically. After a couple of matches he asked to be moved back to outside hitter again, which we agreed to, and since then, he has been our best player."
