Flocco and fellow Montclair residents Maggie and Shea Murphy and Addie Goldstein of Glen Ridge are senior quad captains for coach veteran coach Injoo Han's Cougars who have began the season with a 4-3 record and look to make strong runs in both the Essex County Tournament and in the NJSIAA Non-Public state tournament.
