Post a small recap of last season with personal highlights and any other big moments you have and/or memories you have from last season, whether it be a game, the bus ride to or from the game, or any other thing that sticks out.

Last season was mixed emotions as we went 4-6 and missed our chance at the playoffs, but the biggest moment was having 600 all-purpose yards and 6 touchdowns in our last game of the season with the playoffs on the line. Sadly, we lost, but it was still a big accomplishment.

What is the best part of being a student-athlete at Hopewell High School?

The best part of being a student athlete at Hopewell is the school. The school is very supportive of athletics and academics, so it makes balancing them easy.

What is the toughest aspect of being a student-athlete?

High school turf and college grass

What is your favorite part of practice?

My favorite part of practice is Indi. I like working on my skills and watching my team do the same.

What makes you a good teammate?

The highlight of my 2024 season was definitely the 42-yard free kick Coach Daniel Barker had me working on all week before we played that Friday night. For those that don’t know, a free kick happens after receiving a fair catch. Your team can choose to kick a field goal off a kickoff tee from where the fair catch was received. It’s very rarely used in football now. But I did do it. I made a 42-yard free kick, and it made my season! What was the toughest part of the 2024 season? The hardest part of the 2024 season was probably finding out that my best friend ...
