William loves playing with his teammates because working together makes the game exciting and fun. He especially enjoys the feeling of scoring touchdowns—it makes him feel proud and accomplished. William loves running across the field, trying his best, and being part of a team where everyone supports each other. For him, football isn’t just about the game; it’s about the friendships, teamwork, and those big moments he gets to celebrate.
William says his Papa inspires him the most. Papa always believes in him, cheers the loudest at his games, and reminds him to have fun and never give up. William loves how Papa is always proud of him, no matter what—and that makes him want to work hard and be his best, on and off the field.
One moment that makes us incredibly proud was when William, supported by his teammates, scored the winning touchdown to help the Brantford Bisons reach the Championships. Over four seasons, we’ve watched him persevere through nerves and doubt to become a confident player who trusts himself and his team. That moment is a powerful reminder that with hard work, belief, and teamwork, incredible things are possible.
