Here is our Question-&-Answer session with Trey Beckman:

MSR: What is your favorite individual highlight in sports?

TREY: My favorite individual highlight in sports would have to be my first varsity home run against Clinton last June.

MSR: What is your favorite team highlight in sports?

TREY: My favorite team highlight is traveling to the UNI-Dome a couple weeks ago and knocking off a very good Cedar Falls team.

MSR: Who has had the biggest influence on your sports career?

TREY: The three people that have had the biggest impact on my sports career have been both my varsity coaches, Coach Mike Morrissey (football) and Coach Matt Thede (baseball), as well as my father. All three have put in mass amounts of time into helping me get better.

MSR: What are your future goals in sports?

TREY: My future plan for sports is to attend and become a student-athlete at the University of Nebraska to play baseball and give the Husker faithful all I can during my time playing there.

MSR: What are your favorite classes in school?

TREY: My favorite class in school is AP U.S. history because it is something that has interested me from Day 1 of school, and being a history teacher is what I plan on pursuing after my baseball days are up.

MSR: What has been your favorite community service project?

TREY: I'd have to say my favorite community service project is when the baseball program goes and volunteers at a car show in Monticello before the season starts. It's fun to get the whole program together and volunteer for a good cause.
