Who is your favorite sports star and why ?
My favorite sports star is the legendary Ray Lewis, because of his leadership skills. Not only because he knew how to speak to this teammates and lead a crew, but because he would lead by example and leave it all out on the field.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most ? Explain:
My Sophomore year we were in overtime with Central Mountain, they had the ball on the 2 yard line. I was at backer anticipating a run through b-gap, so as soon as the ball snapped, I burst through the line and got a tackle for loss to turn the ball back over and we ended up getting the ball to score and win the game.
What was last year’s season like for you ?
Last years season was a very hard season because we had to adjust to a brand new coaching staff and system because all of our coaches the year before resigned. It was very hard to get used to at first because it was such a short notice to adjust and a lot of us weren’t ready for that predicament.
