2015-2016
Where are you living now?
Columbus.
Did you play collegiately?
Eastern Kentucky University.
What are you doing now?
I’m a nurse at Grant Medical Center in the ICU.
Married? Children?
Yes. My wife’s name is Kennedy, and we have two boys — Maverick, 5, and Wesley, 2.
What is the fondest memory from your playing career at DeSales?
Drinking out of the winner’s cup after beating Watterson in back-to-back years.
What made playing for DeSales so special?
The honor of continuing the tradition, the expectation of being a good team, and the camaraderie shared between teammates, coaches and past players.
Booth set a program record with 252 rushing yards against Watterson in 2015 (pictured) before breaking his own mark with 320 yards against Covington Catholic the following season.
What was your best game?
Covington Catholic my senior year. I had to look back at the stats, but I had 320 yards and five touchdowns on 20 carries.
My favorite game, though, was beating Watterson my junior year, when I had three touchdowns and 270 yards.
What was it like playing for Coach Wiggins?
Playing for Coach Wiggins was an honor. Being able to play for him and being held to a high standard was amazing. He and the coaching staff held us to high standards and expectations, which not only helped me at the next level, but in life as well.
Do you still follow the Stallions and, if so, how closely?
Yes. I try to make a couple of games each year, and I always try to pay attention to the new and up-and-coming players. Hopefully, in the near future, I can coach for DeSales.
