Entz also added he would like to thank  the Mils staff and personnel who did a lot for him his 3 seasons.


"When things were tough the coaches were there to help to make you a better player and when things were going well they helped me move forward".


The entire Melville Millionaires organization would like to thank Colby for his time as a Millionaire and also congratulate him on his commitment & wish him nothing but the best going forward.
