It's Football season at SJHS! Football is such a popular sport, and it always has and will be. Some of the football players had some interesting things to say about the sport, some of them also said some really helpfull things.
A seventh grader named Nash Scott said that he likes playing football because “ when you play football you stay fit and healthy.” Also a 8th grader named Hondo Quezada had some pretty good information about football and school work and how they go together. Hondo said that it just depends on how much homework you have because you have football after school, so you don't have to get out of class early or make up any work.
Another 8th grade student at SJHS named Zach Mitchell who also plays on the Football team has a lot of good answers. One of the questions was why he is the quarterback and he said “ My dad played in the NFL.” Also we asked him if football ever gets in the way of school work and he said “ It sometimes does because we have football practice is right after school, so if you do have homework you have to wait and do it when you get home which is about 11’ o'clock at night.” The last student who got interviewed named Tyler Kelly, a 9th grade football player at SJHS, said that he likes football “because you get to make physical contact with other people.” People love tackling people in football that's what it's mostly about.
A teacher at SJHS named Mrs. Ottley, a 7th and 9th grade English teacher, said that she likes football because “ Its fast pace and really exciting,” Mrs. Porter, a 7th and 8th grade history teacher, said the reason why she likes football is “ I get to hangout with my husband and just eat.” The 9th grade school counselor, Mr. Jackson said, “ I love it I have been around football my whole life.”He also said that he would play football because he loves playing on a team and he loves his teammates.” He also said that a lot of friendships are made while playing on a football team and you also get to bond with them. Lastly, Mr Jackson explained if football gets in the way of school work and he said,“It can it's really important to kids who play, but you have to have time to do your school work to.” An interesting fact about Mr. Jackson Is that he coaches the varsity team up at the High school and has been a coach for 16 years.
