Athletics

Sports has always been a big part of my life. Even when I was just crawling around, I was playing football. I think that is why I'm so competitive in everything I do. Through my middle school years, I played football and wrestled. I won the conference tournament both my seventh and eight grade year. Also, during my eighth grade year, I was able to compete and win the USA wrestling state tournament. That was a very big accomplishment for me. I wanted to win a state title in football, but I wasn't able to do that. The most memorable year of football in middle school was my eighth grade year when we went undefeated as conference champions and also won the big Apple Bowl. My entire high school athletic career has meant a lot to me. I've made many life long friendships through athletics. My freshman year, I played football, and I also wrestled. After that year, I was pretty burnt out on wrestling so I decided to put my focus on football. My sophomore year was special to me because I was able to play with my older brother Dustin. That year we won the conference championship which was the first time we had won it in 29 years. That was a pretty cool achievement. My favorite year was my senior season. With a new head coach and different schemes on both sides of the ball, it made things interesting. For the first time since middle school, I was able to run the ball again and also played defence as a linebacker. Sports has definitely helped mold me into what I am today.
