"Mike is the hottest hitter and is the best defensive outfielder in the conference," Madison head coach Mickey Ennis said. "He steals bases, drives in runs, is the toughest out in our lineup and is always positive. Mike is the leader on this team. His enthusiasm is contagious and he keeps our players and coaches loose."
