WHAT IS YOUR BEST SPORTS MOMENT? It was my second year of playing football, in the third grade. We made it to the championship game and I ran for about 180 yards. We wound up losing the game, though.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE MEAL? Baked ziti.

WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT PLAYING FOR DELSEA? The tradition of the football program. The coaches are always reminding us about that.

WHY DO YOU WEAR NO. 1? Coach gave it to me my freshman year and told me I'd always be the first name in the program. I always thought to wear No. 1 you had to be No. 1, so that's what I've tried to do.

WHAT DO YOU SEE YOURSELF DOING FOR A LIVING WHEN YOU GET OLDER? I want to be on a SWAT team. I'm going to go to college for law enforcement.

WHAT'S YOUR GAME-DAY SCHEDULE? After school we get a team meal, then I usually like to go into the weight room or locker room and be by myself and listen to my music. When I get out on the field, I run around the field twice to get myself warmed up.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BITTERLY COLD ON FRIDAY NIGHT. WHAT DO YOU DO TO KEEP WARM? Nothing special. I don't wear anything on my arms or anything like that. I just make sure I get a real good sweat going during warmups. When the game starts, I don't even notice the cold.
