OTHER THAN YOUR PARENTS, WHO HAS HAD THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON YOUR LIFE? Probably Coach (Paul) Calley; he always taught how to be great gentlemen and has always pushed us to strive for more.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT FOOTBALL? Football is always fun. We learn new things every day.
POSITION: Receiver
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SEASON SO FAR? The season’s going great. I think our defense deserves a lot of credit. They stop everybody. I think we need to do a little bit more on offense but so far we’re doing really great.
WHAT’S BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT TO THE SEASON SO FAR? All the picks we’ve had on defense. They’re shutting everybody down.
WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE TEAM TO BE SUCCESSFUL THE REST OF THE SEASON? I think our offense needs to stop up a little bit. We usually joke around in practice but I think we all need to focus down and I think that would be a game changer.
INDIVIDUALLY, WHAT ABOUT YOUR GAME ARE YOU MOST CONFIDENT ABOUT? Knowing the routes and knowing what I need to do at that particular spot. I know if it’s third down and long I need to go longer on my routes; if it’s third down and short, I need to shorten it up, just enough to get the first down.
WHAT DO YOU WORK HARDEST TO IMPROVE? Keep on learning the routes and where you are in that position.
AFTER YOU’RE THROUGH PLAYING FOOTBALL AT BHS, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL REMEMBER MOST FONDLY ABOUT IT? All the fun times, all the jokes going around, how Cam Davis always makes us laugh.
