Fontas has known Devlin and Carroll for some time now and has seen them grow as people and players, "for me, this is what it is all about.  We want to move kids on to a higher level, whatever that level is," he said smiling.  “You have to be patient and both of these young men were during their process, now they are being rewarded."
