Elyria Christian’s Ty Romero – Athlete Spotlight – Presented by Bluestem Pace

By Cooper Chadwick

Leading by example is the way senior Ty Romero is hoping to will his team to another conference out-right title.

Elyria Christian’s point guard last year averaged 21 points per game, 4.6 rebounds and 2.9 steals.

Head coach Zach Goodrich has put his complete trust in Romero’s leadership this year for Elyria Christian.

“Ty Romero is a phenomenal young man. He has put in a lot of work this summer developing his strengths and improving his weaknesses. I believe he will see significant gains this season and I look forward to watching him lead his team,” Goodrich said.

Romero has put in hours of work this offseason in the gym and on the court to be prepared to be the leader his team needs him to be.

“During the off-season I have been in the gym every day and getting a good lift session several times a week,” Romero said. “One area I want to get better at is just physically getting stronger.

Romero’s motivation for this season is to outwork everyone and prove that he deservingly earned league MVP and first team all-state last year.

Romero has big goals for this season apart from obtaining the same accolades he earned last year.

”A team goal I have is to win the state tourney. Individually I would like to have a chance for POY and then be a great leader on and off the court,” Romero said.
