Joe Hiller, Twinsburg High School, SportsInk.com Athlete of the Week.

TWINSBURG -- The SportsInk.com Athlete of the Week is Twinsburg senior gridder Joe Hiller, a running back/wide receiver/defensive back for the 10-2 Tigers.

Hiller is a four-year member of the program who firmly believes that their team is a "team."

"I don't have a most memorable game personally as all of our wins are team wins," stressed Hiller.

Hiller grew to love the sport of football because of his passion to play defense, but the Tiger brass soon realized he had special talents for offense as well.

"I love the defensive side of the ball, I like to hit people," he explained.

On offense, Hiller has 350 yards rushing and 200 yards receiving, but is quick to point out that he also has two sacks on defense.  He recently received Player of the Year honors from his school.

He also is the starting catcher on the Twinsburg baseball team and plans a mathematics major in college.

"I hope to participate in athletics in college as well," added Hiller, who is a three-year member of the baseball team and a four-year performer for the football team.
