"I grew up watching Derek Jeter make spectacular plays on the field," said Lluberes.
Now, Lluberes is the one making plays for North Andover and for Saint Anselm College during the school year. Coach Mike Valentino, whose coached Lluberes since that first year with the Titans can't say enough about the young short stop.
