LET’S GET TO KNOW MADYX

Why do you play football?

I play football because I’ve been playing it since I was born. I was born holding a football in my hand.

Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?

My favorite sports star is LeBron James because of how much he changed the game of basketball and how much of a great teammate and leader he is.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:

Yes, last season I mad a one handed catch at home against reading and it was actually my first varsity touchdown which made it even more special

What was last years season like for you?

It was a great experience and I learned so much from those seniors and I got to learn to game of football better. I also got experience playing which I believe will be able to help me this upcoming season

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game you watched and why?

I would say the berks county basketball championship against Reading because the atmosphere was just crazy playing in the Santander Arena is a memory I won’t ever forget

Describe what the perfect teammate is

A perfect teammate is someone who hustle every play and gives it a 100% no matter if it’s practice or a game also someone who doesn’t care how they played individually. If they are mad after a game and your team won that’s an example of a bad teammate.
