I then went on to play my sophomore year on JV and also practiced and took reps at the Varsity level. During my sophomore year, we reached the state final four in playoffs.

In my senior year, I started on Varsity and was named All-Conference. We won our district, and are currently preparing for regionals.
I focus and work hard on my physical skills and fitness to stay in shape. I spend many hours at the field working on footwork, running routes, and catching balls with the QBs. I also work on my strength with my work in the weight room.
