Five Questions With
Q: Talk a little bit about the makeup of this year’s Alma team.
A: “We lost a few key receivers from last year’s squad, but we have all been working hard in the weight room during the off-season, and I really like the chemistry of this team going forward into the season.”
Q; How big was it for you to commit early to Western Michigan University and now just focus on your senior season?
A: “I couldn’t be any happier to commit to Western before the season started. I can now focus on my senior season and look forward to what next year will bring at Western. The new coaching staff embraced me, and we have a great class coming in next year. I couldn’t be happier with my decision.”
Q: Talk a little bit about your move over to Alma from Breckenridge. How has that move made you into the player that you are today?
A: “Honestly, when I made the move here, I didn’t know that coach Randy Lark was a Michigan State grad and played there. I knew that he was a good coach, and my cousin played there, and he had nothing but good things to say about the coaching staff. Not to mention Alma had top notch academics, so I knew I wanted to continue to move forward athletically and academically, so I decided to make the move.”
Q: Talk about playing against a kid like Swan Valley’s Alex Grace and what you need to do to stop someone like that who is big and strong.
A: “Got to hit Alex low. He is so big and strong and if you hit him high we will run right over you. The kid is tough.”
Q: Talk a little about the league in general.
A: “Every team we face will have solid athletes, so we are going to have to prepare and do our best every time we hit the field. The league as a whole I feel will be down this year. A lot of seniors graduated, so we just have to prepare like every week is our last.”
