QUOTABLE “This year, I feel like begin the quarterback it’s not all in your hands, but it kinda is. If you do so many things wrong the game can turn out a different way. I feel like there was obviously pressure. I felt like I played a big part in it. It’s great especially being at Greenwood with all the past quarterbacks being able to be in that classification of being a Greenwood quarterback. There’s no better feeling than winning state. It was emotional and fun.”
