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

Colton loves the competitiveness, against other teams. He loves to compete at high levels. The thing he enjoys the most is being part of the teams he play’s with on and off the field and court.


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

Colton is inspired by his parent’s coaches and peers. He is inspired by drive within himself to be the very best version of who he is capable of becoming.


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

Although there are a few the one that stands out the most is the year his brother passed away in a car accident. Colton had a playoff basketball game the week following and insisted on playing in it as he said his team needed him. The team ended up winning and Colton’s first words were “ I did it for my brother”. It made me proud that no matter how much he was going through emotionally during that time he pushed through for what he felt was what he needed to do.
