PBR:  What type of training did you do this past winter to prepare for the high school season?
Creighton:  I went to workouts that were held after school for my high school team every day and lots of hitting and throwing on my own time to get prepared for the season.

PBR:  Now that your sophomore season is coming to a close what do you plan to do over the next 18 months to catch the eyes of college scouts?
Creighton:  I plan to have a very good summer season to catch the eyes of college scouts at my tournaments. I also plan to attend showcases and camps where I can show my skills to college scouts.

PBR:  Who do you play for in the summer and what was your most memorable experience from last summer?
Creighton:  In the summer I play for the Tri-State Arsenal out of New Jersey.  The best experience I had from last summer was winning a National Championship in a beautiful minor league stadium in Sarasota, Florida and making the all-tournament team in that tournament.

PBR:  What position do you anticipate playing in college?
Creighton:  I anticipate playing anywhere in the outfield in college.  Wherever the coach needs me to play I’ll give it my all.

PBR: Who is the toughest player in your class that you have played against or with?
Creighton:  The toughest player I have played against and with in my class is Catcher Dylan Evert from Bristol High School.  We play together for summer ball and were are very good friends.  He’s one of the best players I’ve played with and is always a tough out.
