“My favorite memory for me is learning this breakdancing move, Master Swipes. Which is a basic power move that involves leaning back and whipping one’s arms to one side to touch the ground, then following through with the legs, twisting 360 degrees to land on the ground again. Even though it’s a basic power move, I put weeks into grinding it out and learning the technique behind this move. A lot of torque and momentum is used in executing this move. After four weeks I was able to get it. Honestly, with utilizing my hips and gaining that momentum, it felt like I was flying. I might be over exaggerating but it was a really cool experience. And not to be corny but it really shows that if you set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything because I remember having a tough time trying to get this move down, and now, I’m on to bigger and tougher moves.”

Hello, my name is Joe-Joe Matuella. This year is my senior year and my first year with the Tribe and I am excited for a great year. I have been a photographer since I was 8 years old working with my father's photography company, and I am eager to share my pictures with everyone who visits our website. I love sports but have not been able to stick with one; I dabbled with baseball in the fall of my freshman year and football in the spring of my sophomore year. The Tribe offers me the opportunity to participate with the sports I love in a new manner of photographing and writing about them.
