Q&A
Q: How did you get involved in playing sports?
A: My older siblings played sports in high school, and I would always go to watch them. That is what inspired me to start playing myself.
Q: What is the most enjoyable thing you have ever had happen to you on an athletic field?
A: I really enjoyed playing in our second-round game for the state playoffs this year for basketball. Even though we didn’t come out with a win, that was the most electric game I have ever played in throughout my sports career.
Q: If you could go to any event (it doesn’t have to be a sporting event) in the world, what would it be and why? *
A: I would really like to go see some of my favorite musical artists in concert. (Harry Styles, Taylor Swift)
Q: What teacher has had the most impact on you in school? Why?
A: I would have to say Mr. Jim Murphy. He would always challenge me to do my best and was very approachable. This helped me translate to try my hardest in sports.
Q: Do you have any superstitions in any of the sports you play?
A: I usually try to stick with the same hairstyle for every game. I also started wearing a pre-wrap headband for playoffs in basketball for good luck.
Q: You have one day where you can do anything your heart desires. Cost is not a factor. What would it be?
A: It would be amazing to just travel the world as much as I can in a day. I would like to visit Italy, Switzerland, Colorado, and many more places.
Q: If you could go back in time, where would you go and why?
A: I would like to travel back to the 1980’s. I would like to see how it would be to live life without cell phones or technology. Plus, the music is great too!
Q: Is there anything you wish we would have asked you? If so, what is the question/answer?
A: Other than sports, what other hobbies do you have? Some of my other hobbies I enjoy are reading, video games, hanging out friends, and working out.
