                                                         Coach Collins for making me laugh and trying to

   My favorite football memory is the Southwest DeKalb game.  When I played in front of

   all my friends at fullback and made 2 tackles on special teams.  As wells as when they
   called  my  name,  I  heard  people  from  the  crowd  screaming  their  lungs  out!    My  senior

   years has been Bizarre, Unbelievable, and Memorable.


                                         My advice to the Underclassmen
      “Stay in your books.  You have to stay focused because football will have you tired and
             nonchalant about certain things; but if you stay focused God will bless you.”
