Central Dewitt’s football program usually has a tradition of great success and excellent morals. Unfortunately, in the 2014 and 2015 football season they have a combined record of 5-13, which does not live up to the standards of the DeWitt community.

Ever since I was young, I had always dreamed of playing college volleyball. After playing volleyball for 10 years college letters were finally beginning to flood my mailbox everyday and college coaches were sending emails to me left and right. This all began in January of last year. At my first tournament of the year in Columbus, college coaches were swarming the courts. They were like worker bees after the first bloom of spring.

Pete Hoyer did not return the greeting.

The 2012 graduate of UConn’s Sport Administration and coaching program, William Aloia, says this future success as the Associate Athletic Director for The College of St. Rose started out by almost” falling into his lap”. The New Jersey native began his undergraduate experience with two Division-I parents, and like an abundance of people he knew that working in sport was something he wanted to do. Previously a part of the Kinesiology department under the late Joe Marrone, Will jumped on the opportunity posted through an email and started his freshman year as a basketball manager for the very successful UConn’s basketball program. He explains how this experience “opened his door up”. Will states; “once I started at UConn working with the women’s basketball program and being around collegiate athletics at such a high level it’s really something in itself, and unbelievable experience. I knew it was for me, I didn’t know which part for sure, but I knew this was something I wanted to do.” What Will realized very quickly realized about working in sport is that often times it is a thankless job. However, that did not stop him from finishing his undergraduate career as a four-year manager for the basketball team. The motivation for Will early in his career has been a two-dimensional illustration of success.

As a coach, I will not know until

We start to stretch and warm up as there is 5 minutes left before our game starts. My receivers and I start throwing the ball around and running routes. I told them my arm was warm so I went and laid down by the bleachers. When there is 1 minute left before the game, we start saying our prayer. As soon as we get done with our prayer we run through the banner and onto the field. "Lets go, lets get a great to this game!" I shout to my teammates. "Kickoff Team!" Coach screams. So the kickoff team and I go lineup to kick the ball off. The referee blows the whistle and we kick it off. The kick returner for Vian was huge and just ran us all over and kept going until he got to the end zone. So just like that it was 7-0. Vian kicked it off and we got a decent return to the 45 yard line. From there we starting throwing short pass plays and running the ball. Eventually Vian held us to 3rd down and 6.
