My name is Joshua Yunker I am 18 years old and a Senior at Flour Bluff Highschool in Corpus Christi, TX. While attending Flour Bluff Highschool I was fortunate enough to spend alot of time on the footbal field.

My senior season marked the football programs 10th playoff appearence while finishing 10-2 and again made school history as the only team to win a back to back undefeated district championship. I was awarded the Most Outstanding Linebacker of District 31-4A. We lost to Port Lavaca Calhoun 27-21 following a game against Mercedes HS in which I suffered a Torn ACL.
