Something about yourself that most people don’t know: I hide who I really am because I’m scared to get judged.

What will you miss most about high school sports?: I will miss all the memories we have made and some of them that we didn’t get to make because of COVID-19, but it’s OK. I will miss getting dressed for senior night. I will miss having a coach that cares about me. Most of all, I will miss the family that we have created when we started the sport and the moments we spent on the field. I will miss so much when I graduate, but I won’t forget the late night field work the early mornings with tournaments. I won’t forget anything, but missing this moment of playing my senior year of softball is something I will miss most of all.

Which coaches have had the most influence on you? Why? The coaches that have had the most influence on me are my dad because he was the one that taught the game to me and made me love it. My former high school coach, Coach Adair, because he taught me how to play the game the correct way and while he was doing so he also taught me more about life and the Lord. He helped make me a better man. And Coach Blackmon because he has taught me different views on the game and has helped me become more of a leader.

Who is your favorite teacher? My favorite teacher would have to be Coach French.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 10 years, I see myself teaching my children the love of baseball.

What will you miss most about high school sports? What I will miss most about high school sports is mostly playing the game. After high school I will not have the chance to play on a baseball field and after the last 15 years of playing select baseball and then high school ball, it will be tough. I will miss the moments where the game is on the line and the pressure is all on me. Those are the moments I strive for, that I seek more than anything.
