“Two years-ago was my first
season of Wildcat varsity football. I didn’t get to play too much,
as I was one of the youngest on the team. When I got on the field,

I tried my hardest and did my best.
I played on a lot of special teams. I remember one kickoff return

against the Meyer’s Riders when I made a big hit against a player 711 Pitt Street, CORNWALL
who was about to tackle our ball carrier. I will always remember 613-932-2584
this, and it will probably always be my favourite hit.”
