What is the fondest memory from your playing career at DeSales?
It’s hard to choose just one fond memory from my time playing at DeSales. I have so many great memories from early morning workouts and conditioning to two-a-days and the brotherhood that came with all of it. If I had to pick one, I’d have to say making the state championship our junior year. Even though we fell short of our goal, it was a special group and great experience.

What made playing for DeSales so special?
Playing at DeSales was really special for me because I grew up idolizing the team and attending nearly every home game since I was 7. It was truly an honor to wear the purple and white!

What was your best game?
Senior year against Mooney. We suffered a tough loss the week before and came back to play our best game of the year against the defending state champs. Felt good getting some revenge!

What was it like playing for Coach Wiggins?
Coach Wiggins is one of the best coaches in high school for a reason! He is a great leader and genuinely cares about his players, always pushing us to be the best we can be on and off the field.

Do you still follow DeSales, if yes, how closely?
Absolutely! Even though I live across the country, I always stay tuned to how we’re doing, especially when we play Watterson.
