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

Tanner's brother, Tj inspires him alot. At 2 Tanner would wear his brother's helmet and shoulder pads and pretend he was a football player. He couldn't wait to get his own set of shoulder pads and helmet. Tanner's dad, who is also his coach inspires him on and off the field. He always encourages him to do his best. He also forces Tanner to strive in uncomfortable positions. Tj and his dad bring out the better athlete and student in Tanner. Tanner has won his second championship and has a 3.8 GPA


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

It was the championship, last minutes in the 4th quarter. The game was close between the two teams. Tanner's quarterback threw the ball, it was intercepted by the other team. The boy who caught the ball was twice Tanner's size. But Tanner tackled him and his teammates assisted him. If it wasn't for Tanner, the other team would have won. We we're surprised and proud to see him take the initiative and executed the play.
