Rutecki earns all-star status

Williamsville East junior Mark Rutecki was named an ECIC First Team division all-star. The 6-foot-7 Rutecki led the East boys volleyball team in kills, blocks and aces.

"It is a nice honor for a player that played for an 'average team'," said East coach Randy Ball.

Ball said Rutecki should break the school record for kills next year. He was also the team's best passer this year.

"For a 6-foot-7 player, that says a lot," said Ball. "Mark is very dedicated and hard working and has the potential to possibly become an All-Western New York all-star next year."
