What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

He loves the game. The plays, learning new things everyday. He eats, sleeps and breathes basketball. He plays at the courts everyday. He is looked upon as up and rising star. He plays against all ages and is usually asked to be on someone's team. He is going to be the reason this gramma gets to go watch someone play.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

His Uncle Tyler Helper and Uncle Ty Running Hawk. They played throughout their high school years. They were really good and they could dunk the ball. All of his Taken Alive relatives, Ray Taken Alive, his uncle, was in the Sports Illustrated magazine when he was in high school. He enjoys all sports so this kid goes to every volleyball game, girls basketball game, boys basketball game, football game not only to watch but to learn. He says its free to get in so I'm going.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

He has played ever since he was in the 3rd grade. His team he's on he is the one that scores the most points. He has always been the ball handler. He is always told that he did a good job. But this gramma calls him her star. When I go to parent teacher conferences, the teachers tell me he is the leader in the class. Ehrn he is gone or absent he is really missed. Teacher said its like the class doesn't know what to do with themselves. I know he is looked upto and everyone knows him.
