What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?

My favorite football team is the Ravens.

If I had to pick one I’d pick Remember the Titans because of the message behind the movie. The movie teaches how to come together as a team and fight off against any adversity that comes your teams way.

What cartoon character do you think your head coach most resembles.

I think he resembles Donald Duck for the way he yells sometimes at practice, but don’t get me wrong he is one of the best, most caring coach I’ve ever met. He tells us all the time if he wasn’t yelling, he wouldn’t care. So I am glad he yells that’s how as a team we get better .

Any blitz I’m sent on.

My favorite gift was a little foam football. I never put it down when I was little, and it made me fall in love with football.
