Favorite Sport: "My favorite sport is football. I've had a passion for it all my life and I truly believe there is no other sport like it."

Best Part of High School Sports: "The atmosphere playing in front of your home town is the best. Knowing your community is watching is an amazing feeling and only makes you want to win more."

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "Beating Stratford in round two of the football playoffs last year was my most memorable moment. It was an amazing night and the most fun I've ever had in such a competitive atmosphere."

Which Person or Persons Have Served as Positive Role Models in Sports For You: "My dad has played a large role in my lvoe of sports ever since I was a toddler. He would always take time to play catch or throw me routes. Those days helped mold me into the athlete I am today."

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "I get the opportunity to be a part of three different teams/families where we can all do something great together. I also don't feel as much pressure in one specific sport. It is nice knowing I will have other opportunities to meet goals in the next season."

Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: "It's a grind. If one team makes a deep playoff run, the next sport just about overlaps or leaves no break between seasons. It can be pretty mentally and physically tolling at times."

Favorite Opponent: "Northwestern is my favorite team to play. They are always a very competitive team no matter which sport, so it always makes it fun getting to play them."

Toughest Individual You've Competed Against: "In football, it would be Jack Martens from Cumberland. He moved faster and better than any kid I've ever had to line up against. In basketball, Richie Murphy from Cameron. He's the most skilled player I've ever had to guard. I felt like I was running a marathon trying to keep up with him."
