What was the highlight of your 2022 football season?
The highlight of the 2022 football season was our comeback win against our rival, Denton Braswell. It wasn’t a perfect game. The weather was crazy! It was cold, it was windy, it was raining, and there were multiple lightning delays; but, we were able to pull off a win from being down 6-21 at the half. The final score was 29-28.
What was the biggest challenge you or your team had to overcome this season?
Off the field, it was our first year playing under a new coach in a new system. On the field, we had to overcome several injuries to key players. We had to have guys step up and replace those key players.
If you could give advice to an incoming freshmen football player, what would it be?
I would say to make sure you stay on top of your grades. Grades are a major factor in recruiting. From the time you start high school to the time you finish high school, you need to be 100% focused on your grades. Grades matter! It’s easy for a college to move on to the next guy because he has better grades.
If you had to go to an island and only bring 3 things, what would you bring?
A knife, a life straw, and a first aid kit.
Who is your favorite NFL Team?
Dallas Cowboys
Who is your favorite NFL Player(s)?
My favorite former NFL player, hands down, is Vince Young! My favorite current NFL player is Patrick Mahomes.
What is your go-to pre-game pump-up song?
Faneto by Chief Keef
Why do you love football?
The game is so complex, and it really makes you think. It’s the feeling you get when you’re on the field, under the lights, and seeing hundreds, if not thousands, of people cheering you on!
