Favorite Sport: "I really enjoy both football and basketball a lot. Both sports challenge me in different ways. Football is the ultimate team sport and you can't be from Randolph and not love basketball."

Best Part of High School Sports: "The competition and loud student sections are the best and you make friends with a lot of kids from different schools when you play in the Trailways Conference."

Best Advice from a High School Coach: "Hard work and patience pays off." -- Coach Tyler Fischer  

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "Beating Monticello in sectional semifinals as a sophomore. It was a great tournament atmosphere and it was probably one of my first big impact games as a player in tournaments. Nothing is better than high school playoffs and tournaments."

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "Since a lot of guys don't play three sports any more, I get to hang with different friends in the different sports and make new friends, too."

Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: "Time management. You are always busy, especially since I am usually always playing two sports at the same time with AAU basketball and baseball."

Favorite Opponent: "Cuba City, especially at the sectional semifinal level in basketball last season."

Favorite Professional Teams: Milwaukee Bucks

Favorite Professional Athlete: "PJ Tucker. I love 6-foot-5 guys who battle in the paint."

Toughest Individual You’ve Competed Against: "Gavin Woodill of the Fall River/Rio football team. He's the best lineman I've played against."
