Coaches Comments: Derek plays a position (holding midfielder) that does not receive much glory, but is vital to the success of a team. He has embraced that role and has established a good rhythm early in the season. He was selected as the Week 2 Player of the Week not just for his effort defensively, but his timely distribution and early game winning goal against Marlington. He also boasted a 5.8:1 possession to turnover ratio during those two games.
