Favorite Sport: "Football. There are more teammates needed in football than in the other sports and need different abilities to make a team complete. Strength, quickness, size and skilled players are just some of the differences in each of my teammates. That diversity is what made football my favorite sport."

Best Part of High School Sports: "The opportunity to compete is the best part. I have always enjoyed the games and chance to win, regardless of the sport. That's why I never wanted to stop playing any of the three sports."

Best Advice from a High School Coach: "Coach Bylsma always stressed that 'sports isn't everything' and keep God, family and community as priorities in life."

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "There are a lot, but winning the 2014 conference championship in football or beating Randolph in basketball are some of the best."

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "There is always something to do. Being part of a small school that provides opportunities to play all sports is worth it. I get to play for almost the entire school year and be part of a team. Some of the best times are just being around the teammates."

Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: "Not enough time. With a commitment to academics, making sure I get all my school classwork done is sometimes tough."

Favorite Opponent: "Randolph. Competing with a school only 10 minutes away is a lot of fun. Having the opportunity to play with Randolph players in the summer and then compete against them during the school year makes those games even better."
