Former Nease High School football standout Matt Roth understands the relentless work ethic that is required to become a top player.

For the past two seasons, the 18-year-old Ponte Vedra Beach native has been the fixture of Nease’s defense and an absolute terror for opposing quarterbacks. Roth’s accomplishments for his senior season include 65 tackles, a team leading 10 sacks, three fumble recoveries, and most importantly, a full scholarship to continue his career at Virginia Tech University. He was also named to the all-county team for the 2010 season and was ranked in the Gainesville Sun’s Top 50 players in Florida that same year. Despite such impressive achievements, Roth is the first to acknowledge that the journey into the limelight has been anything but a walk in the park.

By Zach Gray | gargoyle@flagler.edu

It’s certainly not by happenstance that junior Jennifer Saviano shines on the tennis court. Her 9-5 singles record and 7-2 doubles record for the 2011 season is the product of a relentless work ethic that started a long time ago.

A native of Davie, Fla, Saviano picked up her first raquet at only 5-years-old and started playing competitively at 10. Her father, who played professional tennis for nine years, owns Saviano High Performance Tennis Academy, a premiere facility that is notorious for producing collegiate and professional-caliber players. Saviano is one of those players, and her dad has undoubtedly been a major influence on her career.
