Bear
It’s difficult to face the fact that you’re a Senior. You’ve played football a long time - it’s your true passion. From Olyphant Lions B team, then A - then moved straight up to Varsity with the Spartans. Where have all the years between the dash gone? It’s always exciting to watch you play! Your nickname, Bear, is fitting because you’re an animal on the field. Make the most of this year - soak up all the fun and memories you can. We look forward to watching you play on the collegiate level!
Love you and Proud of You! Mom, Dad, Nathan, Jeffrey, Nina, Noah, Jason and Nico
