Why do you play football?
I play football because I love the physicality of the sport and the brotherhood you form with your teammates.

Who is your favorite sports star and why?
My favorite sports star is Jason Kelce because of his role on the Eagles Super Bowl team and how he carries himself as a leader.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
Against Marple we ran a trap and our fullback broke through. All of the lineman caught up to him and pushed the pile another 10 or so yards. This play showed our heart as a unit and it happened when we started to build a big lead in a game that was close in the first half.

Our goals are to make it back to the district 1 playoffs and make a run. I personally have a goal to be 1st team all-league this year.
