HENRIETTA, N.Y. — Rush-Henrietta football player Joe Infante has been named the latest News10NBC Scholar Athlete of the Week.
Infante, a longtime linebacker, switched to defensive end this year when his coach asked him to help the team.
“Honestly, I was pretty excited, because he said I could help the team out. Honestly, I’m a team player. Whatever helps the team out to me I’ll 100% do,” Infante said.
By keeping an open mind, he said he saw results right away.
“Week one. That’s when I fully seen what I can do. I’ve always been an aggressive player. I’m hungry on the field. After I seen what I could do, I had a pretty good game, I’m like, ya know what, I can do way better,” Infante said.
It’s kind of how Infante carries himself with everything, including his future goal of becoming an electrician.
“Some people think of trades as like oh he’s going to be lower level type of, but honestly I think it’s good to go into everything with an open mind and see what it has to offer,” Infante said.
That outlook has helped Infante in both school and football. The Royal Comets are now one win away from a Section V championship.
“We came here to do one thing and it’s to win,” Infante said.
He said last year’s loss motivated the team to work harder.
“Last year we came up short and that really lit a fire under our butts. Since summer we’ve been grinding for this moment. We’ve been waiting for this. It’s our time now,” Infante said.
Rush-Henrietta will play Pittsford for the sectional championship at 6 p.m. Saturday. News10NBC will have highlights from games across Section V. For more of our Section V coverage, click here.
