This is what Katie told Patch:

How do you like playing on your team this year?

I like the chemistry we have on and off the field; it is much easier to play when the team gets along and can joke around.

How is your team doing this year?

Our team is all new this year, including only six returning varsity players, but throughout the season we have learned to come together and put up a good fight against the higher ranking teams.

We had some problems in the beginning, but were able to work them out and be the strong St.Joe team we have always been.

What other sports do you play?

Lacrosse is my only sport during the school year.

What is your favorite tune in your I-Pod?

Right now "Starships" by Nicki Minaj is the team's favorite pump up song.

Previous winners were:

• Trey Baur, MICDS baseball
• Greg Gannon, Ladue baseball
• Foster Bundy, MICDS lacrosse
