What high school sports mean to me: I love them. I mean, it’s the greatest thrill in the world playing in front of your school, and our school supports it. You’ll hear (students) say, ‘I’m coming to your game tonight.’ Everyone’s into it. Kids from every sport in the school come to the games, you got high-fives in the hallways. . . . It’s just a lot of fun with the team, and they’re all my best friends.
