“Johnny has always been someone we can count on,” said heach coach Andy Boschetto. “He puts the team before himself, and doesn’t care about the accolades but for the team’s ultimate success. I am excited for him and his teammates to have an opportunity to finish what they have started. Nichols is a very good team; Saturday will be a great game.”
