At Shaw, we didn't allow seniors to go out for football. I just felt it wasn't fair to the seniors. But we were desperate. |
He said he just didn't want to play. He was out there for all the wrong reasons. |
He said he wanted to play defensive end, and he could have. But we were in bad need of a tight end. |
I never had a player come so far so quickly. I'm not surprised at anything he does. |
I understand why he can do both (offense and defense) because he's an amazing athlete. He's agile, with great feet and great quickness. |
I'd like to say we made him into a player. But we didn't. We showed him how to block and who to block and he took it from there. He's just a natural. |
Ultimately all of these decisions should be about what's best for the kids. In trying to reach our kids over the past week, many have been displaced and I don't know how many we'll get back. |
When I got here (at West Jeff in 2002 following a sterling career at Archbishop Shaw), I heard there was this great athlete at the school, but I couldn't get him to come out. |
