Favorite high school experience: Checking into the basketball game at Oran my senior year after the doctors told me I wouldn't be able to play anymore and not being on any active sports roster in almost a year.
Biggest role model: coach Rod and coach Trimmer.
Advice to underclassmen: Take school for everything it has to offer. Soak up every minute of that first-hour class even though you wish you were still in bed. Remember that time will pass and never come back. So, therefore, make the best of everything you can and don't take anything for granted.
Three words to describe high school: Play it again.
