Eagle Tribune: Methuen's Diaz making huge strides on and off the court
HERENDA ON DIAZ: "Romeo is coming off of a year that sidelined him and his return will be literally one step at a time. Two years ago he was our leading rebounder and the glue guy between our frontcourt and our backcourt. Romeo is an extremely versatile player that can do just about everything on the floor. I am just hoping that he willl be able to make the transition back to playing on a daily basis sooner than later."
