POSITION: Tight end
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SEASON SO FAR? I think we’ve done really good. We had a mess up at the very beginning of the season but we’ve put it together now I think. We have pretty good chances in State.
WHAT’S BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT TO THE SEASON SO FAR? Beating Greenwood, definitely; that was a crazy game and it was one of the best memories I’ve had this year.
WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE TEAM TO BE SUCCESSFUL THE REST OF THE SEASON? We have to keep moving the ball on offense. Our defense has done good enough so far this season. They’ve just got to keep us going, bend but don’t break.
INDIVIDUALLY, WHAT ABOUT YOUR GAME ARE YOU MOST CONFIDENT ABOUT? Blocking.
WHAT DO YOU WORK HARDEST TO IMPROVE? Definitely reaching people for outside zone plays and make sure they don’t tackle the ballcarrier.
AFTER YOU’RE THROUGH PLAYING FOOTBALL AT BHS, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL REMEMBER MOST FONDLY ABOUT IT? The team bonding and the way we came together. I love each one of those guys in there and they all love me. That’s what I’ll remember.
