What will you miss most about high school? My teachers, coaches and memories I made with my friends.
Most memorable sports moment? I was at a tournament for my travel team. It was our fourth game on a 90-degree day and I was feeling lightheaded because I was dehydrated. All of my teammates said they’d give me a dollar each if I chugged three bottles of water before we went out to the field for the last inning. Well, I did it. There was a ball hit out of my range, but it needed stopped to hold the score. So I dove for it and as soon as my stomach hit the ground all three bottles of water came shooting out of my mouth. I had everyone laughing, but we ended up winning and that’s all that mattered.
