Freshman Mitch Kinek is the son of Thomas and Shelli, and brother to Tori, Kaley, and Joe. He’s an athletic, pizza-loving soccer player. In the few weeks Mitch has been in high school, he’s been more than enjoying himself.
Most kids find their freshman year nerve-racking because many of them are on their own . For Mitch, things are different; he happens to be a twin to his brother, freshman Joe Kinek.
“I don’t really know what to say about being in the same grade as Joe because that’s how it’s always been,” Mitch said.
One of Mitch’s passions that seems to be a constant throughout the entire Kinek family is soccer. His older sisters, Tori (a 2009 Fleetwood graduate) and Kaley (a 2011 Fleetwood graduate) both played soccer in their years as Tigers, and now Mitch, along with his brother Joe, both play as well.
This year Mitch made the junior varsity team, as most freshmen do, and Mitch’s teammates enjoy having him on the team.
“Mitch is always a great player to have out on the field. Hopefully, he can be one of our key players throughout our high school career,” Matt Masenheimer said.
Fellow athlete Matt Hook couldn’t help but agree.
“He always works hard and never stops running.”
Mitch’s family also sees him as a funny, hardworking kid.
“Mitch is always looking to do better, whether it comes to school or soccer,” sister Kaley said.
“Growing up, Mitchell seriously fell on his head or hit it at least twice a day,” loving sister Tori said.
Like just about every other high school student, one of Mitch’s favorite things to do is hang out with his friends.
“He’s a really good friend, a good soccer player, and he’s really funny!” Hannah Kohl, a freshman and close friend said.
“He’s a really nice, funny guy, and he really loves soccer,” Irene Licari said.
Mitch is just like most other teenagers. His friends and family enjoy being around him, and he plans on being involved with soccer for the rest of high school.
