Best Little League Football Memory: I don’t specifically have one favorite memory so I guess my best memory was all 6 years I was able to play for Scott Larsen and the four national league titles that we won in four consecutive undefeated seasons.
Best JMCH Football Memory: My best memory was very recently when we went up to top rated Logan and beat them 35-7.
Former Bulldog players that were an inspiration to you: Jaxon Myaer, Eddie Bratke, and Nick Phillips
Funniest JMCH Football Memory: My funniest memory is when Eddie Bratke showed up in a Speedo during two-a-days and wore it for the time we had between practices.
Least favorite thing about practice: My least favorite thing about practice is easily half-gassers because it’s a full sprint, stop, and then sprint again with less than 30 seconds to recover between them.
What’s on your iPod before the game: Fabulous’ Street Dreams album is always on in memory of Eddie Bratke.
Best Team Dinner: My favorite is always the pulled pork sandwich.

Best advice you could give to the freshmen/underclassmen: Come ready to work hard every day, but have fun and enjoy every minute!
Sum up your JMCHS football experience: My experience has been one that has seemed very long and tedious, but the work and time is finally paying off and we are having a great season. It has been an opportunity to make friends who I am very close to and has created an opportunity for me to feel part of something much bigger than myself.
