SPECTRUM NEWS VIDEO: All Joe Girard III does is win.

The Glens Falls product led the Indians to state titles in football and in basketball during his senior season. Shortly after taking the state title in football, the sharpshooter made the announcement that he'll be heading to Syracuse for basketball. 

"It was always in the back of my mind. (Going to SU) It always had a place in my heart just because it was the hometown school and in-state school. My mom always liked Syracuse and I've always been to a lot of football and basketball games," said Girard. 

Over his five years playing varsity at Glens Falls, JG3 notched a whopping 4,763 points, good for the all-time record in the state. After averaging 50 points per game during his high school career, the expectations are high for the freshman sharpshooter. 

Kate Callaway got to talk for Joe Girard III about why he chose SU, what it's been like being coached by Gerry McNamara and how he feels heading into his first season on the Hill.
