CALLING COLOSIMO

POLAND, OH- The Poland Pocket Knife, Christian Colosimo has been called every name in the book.  His last name alone has garnered 34 different renditions.

(It’s pronounced CALL-IS-SEE-MO, by the way.)

The point is, the one name he’s never been called, or will ever be called- is an underachiever.  Colosimo busts his tail and knows every position on the field because he has to.  All of that as well as being a multi-sport athlete that carries a 3.85 GPA in the classroom makes him a tough out for any opponent, and at the top of every coach’s wishlist.

Fresh off one of the biggest comebacks in Poland Playoff history, we sat down with the Junior to discuss the year, as well as the closeness of the Poland team.
