LET’S GET TO KNOW BRODY!
What made you decide to play football?
I did not really want to play football when I was younger, I was a waterboy for my brother. After a while I got thinking about it and decided to try it.
Do you have a favorite pre-game meal?
Yeah, I usually go down to Lombardo’s for a hoagie and an Orange Crush soda.
Who has been the most influential person in your athletic career?
Probably my father, he is always pushing me to be better. He played football, and he wants me to be better than he was when he played.
What are your personal and team goals for this upcoming season?
Personally, I want to do much better than last year, and as a team we want to win a district championship and qualify for state playoffs.
What are your future plans?
I’m not really sure yet. I still have some time yet to think about it and I’ll probably give it some thought this year.
When you graduate, what is one lasting memory you will have about your coach?
I’ve had a few coaches in my career so far, so I would say the way that all of them talked to me about getting better and my athletic and personal growth, and how they became family to me.
