Favorite Sport: "My favorite sport is basketball even though my mom believes I am a better baseball player. I like basketball because I find it challenging, but extremely rewarding. There is nothing better than scoring a basketball."

Best Part of High School Sports: "The best part of high school sports is the ability to just relax and have some fun. Even though there may be pressure, it's enjoyable to get after it and do something you love."

Best Advice from a High School Coach: "I have been told by many coaches to 'stop thinking about it.' I have been known to be an over-thinker. Once I stopped thinking about the sport I was playing and just reacted to the situation, I would play better."

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "My baseball team won the 2014 WIAA Division 4 state title in an 11-inning game against McDonell Central. It was the most pressure I have felt, but one of the best experiences in my life."

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "The best part of playing three sports is that I'm constantly busy playing them and I'm doing something I love."

Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: "The toughest part of playing three sports is balancing friends, family, school and God, and making sure they get the time they deserve."
