Star Student Athlete: Bishop Eustace's Dominic Shines Off The Field, Too

MOORESTOWN, NJ — We all know student athletes who also bring their A-game to other parts of their lives.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. We’re working to let all your neighbors know the individual stories behind the leaderboard.

This submission comes from Marcy DiBlasio who nominated her son Dominic, of Moorestown, who goes to Bishop Eustace Prepatory School.

Football

Why do you believe the star student athlete should be recognized?

My son has a good heart, and is kind to everyone. I'm also proud that he is a good person (partying isn't on his agenda - he'd rather be fishing with buddies than getting into mischief). Probably the thing that I am most proud of has been his annual leadership role in his high school's Victory Day event. This event welcomes teens and young adults with mental and physical challenges to join Dominic and his fellow teammates on the football field to enjoy a day of fun and achievement. I've spoken with many parents of the participants, and all say how much their kids look forward to the event each year. Brings me to tears watching Dominic and his fellow Bishop Eustace Prep teammates be so kind and caring toward others.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star student athlete?

At 6'5" tall, he's a gentle giant - accept against his football opponents!

Keep up the great work, Dominic!
