Favorite Sport: "My favorite sport is football because I’ve met most of my friends through football and I’ve played it since first grade. I’ve also loved watching it, especially since the Packers won the Super Bowl in 2011." 

Best Part of High School Sports: "The best part of high school sports is the relationships you make. You meet new teammates, coaches, opponents, parents, and even fans."

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "The most memorable moment in high school sports was beating Berlin in the football playoffs my senior year. We were a six seed and they were a three seed. All we heard about them was them being so good and they would beat us if we played them. Then, we beat them 35-14 and I was nominated Player of the Week by WisSports.net that week."

Which Person or Persons Have Served as Positive Role Models: "The best role model I had was my dad because he always motivated me to be my best. Since he played sports in college, that was my goal and now I have completed that goal."
