B
B
A
B
Feel
like
I
could
be
the
man
over
there
in
the
next
three
or
four
years.
I
honestly
love
the
program
when
I
got
there,
it
was
nothing
but
love
got
out.
The
car
people
know
my
name.
The
coaches
was
amazing,
of
course,
not
he
treated
me
like
family.
He
told
me
that
I
remind
him
of
Julio
Jones,
and
that
meant
a
lot
to
me.
B
B
No,
no
I
always
knew
this
was
going
to
happen.
I'm
blessed,
I
count
all
my
blessings
I
thank
God
for
this
and
I'm
just
here
to
show
everybody
that
you
can
do
it
from
North
County.
They
can
do
it
from
public
school.
No
matter
where
you
at
just
put
your
head
down,
keep
grinding
you.
B
I
played
basketball
too
I
play
football
back
when
I
was
really
young.
I
played
soccer
too,
so
my
footwork
was
really
good,
so
it
just
translated
to
every
sport.
I
played.
B
Yeah
vanity
Academy
means
a
lot
to
me
because
I
know
a
lot
of
guys.
Look
up
to
me.
I
just
want
to
be
there
for
them,
make
sure
they
get
to
class,
just
be
that
guy
they
they
always
can
look
up
to.
They
need
advice
just
to
support
them.
I'm
always
there
for
them.
I
just
want
them
to
know
that
they
always
talk
to
me.
B
I
was
four
years
old:
I
played
soccer,
I
grew
up
into
basketball.
My
mom
really
got
me
into
basketball.
She
played
volleyball,
she
swam,
she
played
basketball.
So
all
I'll
thank
her
for
all
my
athletic
talents.
A
B
B
B
I've
been
playing
for
a
long
time
actually
I
played
with
hysl
back
when
I
was
younger,
played
with
Team
Durant
played
with
the
Stags
I
played
a
lot
of
au
balls,
so
I
was
traveling
a
lot.
The
company
I
always
been
competitive.
It
was
just
amazing.
B
Definitely
my
senior
night
that
happened
last
week.
It
was
amazing,
just
the
emotion
it
was
emotional.
My
last
time
playing
at
my
at
my
home.
It
was
amazing,
seeing
eye
coming
out
my
family
watching
everybody
out
come
out
their
family.
It
was
just
a
beautiful
night.
C
Escorted
this
evening
by
his
cousin
Jazz
man
nephew
some
of
the
the
baby
nephew
Mason,
the
Big
Brother
come
on
down
ivy
big
brother's
girlfriend,
Sophia
and
I
also
believed
coach,
Clinton
Jones,
so
I've
been
tells
us
that
in
the
future
he
says,
I'll
be
going
to
a
full
year
for
a
five-year
College
chasing
my
NFL
dreams,
I.
B
Definitely
my
Avid
teacher
Miss,
amen,
I
appreciate
her
so
much.
She
knows
so
much
for
me.
I
couldn't
thank
her
enough,
like
just
that
same
day,
I
was
telling
her
I
was
a
little
bit
nervous
for
the
game
not
nervous
to
play,
but
just
nervous
about
like
the
atmosphere.
It
was
my
last
game
here
and
she
gave
me
a
speech
and
I
took
it
with
me,
and
I
played
I
played
hard.
B
B
B
Definitely
say
my
head
coach,
Coach,
Q
I,
can't
thank
him
enough
for
everything
he's
done
for
me
all
the
rides.
He
gave
me
to
the
colleges
home
school
workouts.
It's
just
that
man
done
so
much
for
me
and
I
wouldn't
be
here
without
him
today.
So
I
want
to
give
him
a
special
shout
out:
Coach
Q,
that's
that's
my
dog!
So
has.
B
A
D
Has
overcome
so
many
obstacles
and
has
grown
so
much
through
his
tenure
at
North
County?
He
has
battled
through
adversity
over
the
years
and
has
elevated
his
game
on
the
field
and
in
the
classroom.
This
internal
drive
will
serve
him
well
throughout
his
collegiate
career.
Thank
you.
Congratulations
and
I
wish
you
the
best
at
the
next
level.
B
A
B
I'm
not
sure
yet,
but
I
have
three
options:
business,
sports,
medicine
and
psychology.
Those
three
are
some
big
to
me,
because
I
want
to
learn
a
lot
about
business
sports
medicine.
I
want
to
keep
myself
into
the
sports
atmosphere
and
the
psychology
and
counseling
I
love
to
be
I,
love
to
be
a
counselor
in
one
day
and
just
start
something
in
that.
B
Wide
receiver,
a
lot
of
schools
wanted
me
to
play
tight
end.
I
got
some
DB
offer
even
like
some
quarterback
a
little
bit
on
some
outside
linebacker,
but
I
really
want
to
stay
at
something.
I
was
really
good
at
and
I
play
that
in
heart,
which
was
wide
receiver.
B
A
Is
so
special
I'm
so
happy
for
you?
Thank
you.
So
much
do
you
have
any
advice
say
to
an
underclassman
who's,
just
getting
started
in
high
school
sports.
Give
me
advice
that
maybe
you
know
when
times
get
tough
or
they're
having
a
struggle
managing
time
grades.
All
the
time
you
spend
on
the
field
is
there
anything
that
you
can
say
to
them
to
try
to
give
them
some
help.
Definitely.
B
Just
always
keep
working,
keep
working,
hard,
make
sure
you're
the
first
one
there,
the
last
one
to
be
first,
when
I
practice.
Last
time
we
leave
do
extra
work
study,
get
on
YouTube,
there's
everything
you
can
learn
on.
Youtube
watch,
videos
get
you
and
just
have
good
grief
stay
with
you
stay
patient.
The
time
will
come.
You
know
just
head
down
just
gone.
What's.
B
Miss
England
made
sure
I'm
a
Avid
student
and
she's
really
she's
the
best
ever
honestly.
She
she
does
so
much
for
me,
making
sure
I
get
my
applications
right
for
FAFSA
comment
and
making
sure
everything's
straight
and
I
couldn't
thank
her
enough.
She
made
me
feel,
like
I've,
been
there
for
four
years
when
I
joined
Avid
last
year
in
the
middle
of
the
year,
so
she
she
really
made
me
feel
comfortable
in
that
class.
B
B
Yeah
I
look
a
lot
of
college
tours.
We've
been
to
Towson
a
lot
of
times,
but
I
didn't
really
go
because
I
already
been
to
Tulsa.
So
I
just
stayed
so.
B
I
definitely
say:
Odell
Beckham
he's
he's
something
special
to
me.
He
ever
since
that
one-handed
catch
he
made
in
college
I
mean
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
about
he
made
in
college
before
he
even
made
in
the
NFL.
So
I
was
a
big
LSU
fan
so
I
seen
all
of
that.
B
That
should
be
your
favorite
play.
Oh
yeah,
it
was,
it
was
a
little.
It
was
okay,
it
was
okay,
it
wasn't
all
that
I
just
had
a
little
five
and
now
ball
came
out
really
quick
turn
my
head
around.
It's
just
natural
instinct,
just
put
one
hand
up
grabbed.
It
got
the
first
down
got
out
of
bounds.
Well,.
A
I
be
I,
James,
Madison,
I
know,
you're
gonna
do
great
things
there
we'll
be
watching
you
for
sure.
When
you
come
back
on
your
breaks,
please
come
back
and
see
us
and
visit
us.
Definitely
congratulations
on
making
it
to
the
next
level.
A
And
sharing
that
news
with
us
today
is
really
special
to
me
and
to
all
our
viewers
out
there.
I
know
that
everyone's
been
wondering
where
you're
going
and
good
luck
to
you.
Thank
you.
We
would
like
to
thank
you
for
being
here
today
and
our
new
audience.
We
will
be
right
back
after
this
short
break
with
another
senior
from
North
County
High
School.
E
Hi
I'm,
Dr,
Mark,
Bedell
and
I
am
proud
to
be
the
superintendent
of
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools,
a
district
of
85
000
students
and
14
000
dedicated
employees.
We
are
on
our
way
to
being
the
best
school
system
in
Maryland
and
we
could
use
your
help
to
get
there.
Consider
one
of
these
many
careers
with
us.
F
A
G
I
started
off
my
freshman
year:
I
played
lacrosse
I
swim
as
well.
I
played
JV
lacrosse
my
freshman
year
in
sophomore
Junior
and
Senior
year.
I've
moved
up
to
varsity,
lacrosse
and
I've
swam.
All
four
years
on
Varsity
soccer
as
well
and
I
would
do
more.
If
I
could
you
would.
G
Also,
a
team
captain
I
am
yes
for
soccer
and
I.
Just
I
could
be
a
team
captain
on
the
other
sports,
but
I
kind
of
just
let
it
go
a
little
bit
because
soccer
is
my
main
sport
but
coach
Tackett.
He
picked
me
as
Captain
this
year
and
at
first
I
was
the
only
captain
and
I
was
really
excited.
I've
been
a
captain
every
single
year
I've
played,
and
it
really
means
a
lot
to
me
to
be
able
to
lead
these
girls.
G
As
Captain
I
believe,
showing
up
on
time
to
practice,
showing
up
to
every
practice,
not
only
in
soccer
but
outside
of
soccer
in
school,
when
we're
in
school,
making
sure
like
people
are
showing
up
on
time
to
class
and
getting
what
they
need
to
get
done
like
make
sure
it
gets
done
and
just
giving
them
like
support
when
they
need
it,
making
sure
I'm
a
voice,
and
they
could
come
to
me
at
all
times.
Nice.
G
I
started
Sports
when
I
was
four
years
old.
My
mom
put
me
in
soccer
right
away.
She
was
my
first
coach
I
ever
had
and
I'm
really
thankful
for
her
for
doing
that.
I
played
a
lot
of
sports
when
I
was
younger.
Growing
up
with
four
brothers.
I
was
just
always
always
doing
something.
We
were
never
just
sitting
around,
but
yeah
for
four
or
five
years
old
started:
Four
Brothers,
four
older
brothers,
yeah
any
sisters,
No
Sisters
you're,
the
baby,
the
baby
and
the
only
girl.
G
So
when
I
first
started
soccer,
my
mom
was
my
coach
and
I
played
on
an
all
boys
team
for
the
first,
maybe
10
years
of
my
life,
I
was
on
the
all
boys
team,
the
boys
varsity
coach
at
North,
County
High
School,
Sean
bahegan.
He
coached
me
when
I
was
a
little
girl
with
his
son,
Jackson
Michigan,
and
we
had
this
team
called
LF
United
and
it
lasted
all
the
way
until
we
like
hit
that
age
Gap
where
I
transitioned
to
play
club
with
girls.
G
G
Did
and
I
loved
it
these
they
would
not
mess
with
me
like
and
I
would
just
show
them
like.
A
girl
can
do
just
as
good
as
you
can,
or
even
better
absolutely
I
love
that
who
is
your
biggest
supporter,
my
family,
my
mom
she's
pushed
me
to
be
who
I
am
today
she's
made
me
who
I
am
today
my
dad,
my
four
older
brothers,
Jared,
Chris,
Ryan
and
Ethan.
G
A
G
So
my
coach
right
now
Nicholas
Tackett.
He
has
been
there
for
me
for
the
longest
time,
I've
known
him
before
I
came
into
North,
County
I
didn't
play
soccer,
my
freshman
freshman
year,
because
I
wasn't
able
to
with
Club,
and
he
really
respected
that
as
much
as
he
wanted
me
to
play
because
we've
known
each
other,
but
he
has
pushed
me
to
be
who
I
am
today
as
well
he's.
Never
let
me
back
down.
G
A
D
Is
a
great
leader
at
North
County,
both
on
and
off
the
field,
she's
an
excellent
teammate
and
puts
others
before
herself.
Her
competitive
nature
elevates
everyone
around
her
and
I
am
proud
of
the
way
she
represents
North
County
Athletics
through
her
High
School
career.
Thank
you.
Congratulations
and
I
wish
you
the
best
at
the
next
level.
G
Elliotti
has
done
so
much
for
me
over
the
years
and
I
love
him,
for
it
he's
always
been
there
to
support
me
and
every
athlete
at
North
County.
Nobody
really
knows
how
hard
he
works,
but
he's
here
day
and
night,
making
sure
every
athlete
has
everything
that
they
need
and
a
huge
thank.
You
goes
out
to
him
because
we
would
not
be
here
without
him.
G
G
G
Oh,
my
gosh
like
this
is
a
big
school
and
it's
in
a
very
good
conference
for
me,
and
so
we
started
our
communication
early
on
and
we
kept
talking
and
they
invited
me
out
for
an
official
visit
and
I
went
on
it
and
as
soon
as
I
came
to
the
school
I
fell
in
love.
Not
even
just
I
fell
in
love
with
a
soccer
program,
but
also
just
the
school
itself.
The
academics
like
it
was
just
a
perfect
fit
for
me,
and
I
knew
I
wanted
to
be
there
as
soon
as
I
got
there.
G
A
G
Was
recruited
for
center-back
and
defensive
Center
mid,
so
both
I
kind
of
flip
between
sometimes
in
club?
Do
you
currently
play
that
position
here
in
high
school?
No
for
high
school
I
play
every
position,
mostly
I
play
defense,
Midfield
and
forward
beginning
of
the
season.
I
started
out
more
of
a
midfielder
and
forward
and
then,
when
we
play
like
some
tougher
teams,
I'll
be
on
defense,
sometimes,
but
then
I'll
move
myself
up
sometimes
and
attack
as
well.
A
G
I
was
looking
for
I
wanted
it
to
be
really
competitive
and
I
knew
I
wanted
to
go.
D1.
Okay,
when
I
was
a
little
girl.
I
always
told
my
mom
I
wanted
to
play
D1
in
college
and
I
just
stuck
with
it,
and
when
I
went
to
Kentucky
and
I
saw
how
competitive
the
program
was
and
the
coaches
there
they
they
scare
you
a
little
bit,
but
that's
a
good
thing.
So
I
want
I,
don't
want
to
be
comfortable.
A
G
Give
up
always
do
what
you
want
to
do.
Don't
let
anybody
put
you
down
and
bring
you
down.
There
will
always
be
always
be
somebody
in
your
corner
to
support
you
and
don't
let
anybody
crush
your
dreams
like
they're,
your
dreams
go,
get
them
like
go.
G
I
have
a
4.0
right
now
and
I
am
currently
a
senior
and
I'm
taking
five
classes.
So
I
will
have
probably
like
a
4.1
4.2
at
the
end
of
the
year
because
of
AP
right
and
I'm
doing
really
well
in
those
classes.
A
G
Definitely
hard,
but
you
just
have
to
stick
with
it,
and
a
lot
of
times
spent
out
of
soccer
is
like
I'm,
a
full-time
student,
so
obviously
I'm
going
to
be
studying,
I'm
going
to
be
doing
homework,
I'm
going
to
like
I
focus
that
time
on
school
or
like
even
when
I'm
in
class
like
I.
G
Don't
some
people
like
to
say
like
goof
off
like
I,
just
get
my
work
done
so
I
don't
have
to
worry
about
it
later
so
I'm
on
academics,
like
my
mom,
like
she's,
very
strict
on
academics,
and
they
want
me
to
succeed
in
school
and
I,
want
myself
to
succeed
in
school.
So
I
know
that
I
need
good
grades
to
get
where
I
want
to
be
yeah,
so
I
will
make
that
happen.
You've
set
the.
G
I
have
a
job
that
I
go
to
and
a
job
and
a
job
to
make
money.
I
spend
time
with
my
family
I
have
two
dogs
at
home
that
I
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
Sydney.
How
do.
A
G
G
So
actually
I
play
club
soccer
on
this
team
club
Pipeline
and
a
lot
of
the
girls
on
my
club.
They
go
to
private
school
in
Baltimore,
it's
a
Mercy,
High
School
and
there's
a
lot
of
girls
that
go
to
private
schools
and
not
Public
Schools.
So
one
day
I
saw
one
of
them
post
something
and
they
were
in
the
running
for
All-American
I'm
like
oh,
my
God.
G
It
was
a
really
exciting
moment
for
me,
because
you
see
all
these
private
schools
listed
and
listed,
and
then
you
see
Sydney,
Bollinger,
North
County
and
a
lot
of
people
like
hate
on
North
County
because
of
our
reputation
sometimes,
and
just
to
see
that
made
me
really
happy.
So
when
will
you
find
out
I'm,
not
sure
but
I
hope
it's
soon,
because
I'm
really
eager
to
know,
but
it
is
one
girl
only
and
there's
about
10
on
the
list,
so
I've
just
been
trying
really
hard
this
season
to
make
myself
known.
A
A
You
know
you
I,
can't
tell
you
how
I
feel
when
I
hear
all
the
things
that
you're
doing
it's
truly
you're
a
talented
athlete.
We
wish
you
the
best
at
the
University
of
Kentucky
you're,
going
to
do
great
things,
we'll
definitely
watch
okay,
thank
you
and
when
you
come
back
on
your
holiday
break,
stop
by
and
visit
us.
Of
course,
I
will
right.
