LET’S GET TO KNOW KAHALE
Why do you play football?
I play football because football is a big part of our community and I want to make the community proud of Bald Eagle Football. And I also do it for the family aspect of things. We are one big family and it’s an amazing thing to be apart of.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
My favorite sports player is Derek Jeter. I always loved watching him play growing up and he’s a great role model for younger people.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite football play would have to be against Bellefonte at Bellefonte. Last play of the half and we were around our own 25 yard line. I received a screen and my teammates blocked up front and I got out and juked and broke lots of ankles and took it all the way to end the half.
What was last years season like for you?
Last years season started off very rough and we picked it up and sat nice for playoffs but our season didn’t end the way we wanted it to going out in the district semi-finals. I enjoyed every moment of it though with my teammates and coaches.
