Favorite high school sports moment so far: “My favorite High School sport moment so far was when we were down against Trinity Christian and it was third down. The running back broke for a huge run and I was playing corner back and I had a huge chase down tackle running from one side of the field to the other. Next play we forced a fumble which then led to the drive that won the game.”
