J.P. Tokoto's humility, hard work earn him NOW Player of the Year

Posted Mar 31, 2010
To fully appreciate how well adjusted the highly-coveted NOW Newspapers Player of the Year J.P. Tokoto of Menomonee Falls is, consider how little he thinks about all the attention he gets from major Division I college coaches nationwide. "That's just sort of background noise right now," the sophomore said, a couple of weeks after leading the Indians to their most successful season in 17 years. "Right now, it's more about the team than anything else." (Germantown Now)
