How did Murphysboro HS prepare you for college?
All of my coaches were very good at what they did and they knew what to expect when it came to college sports.

Most Memorable Red Devils Athletic Moment?
Beating the School record in Wins during Senior year Baseball.  And hitting my first-ever homerun, which happened to be a grand slam.

What does being a Red Devil mean to you?
I'll be a Red Devil the rest of my life.  We were dominant in all the sports I played and I'll never forget the memories that were made in the hallways and on the athletic fields at MHS!

What advice would you give to the current Red Devil Athletes?
I would tell them to work as hard as you can.  If they plan on playing at the collegiate level, they have to remember that they might be the stud on their team at MHS, but when your in college, everyone you are playing with was one of the best at their school too. Never give up!
