be fully committed. Give your very best with every day, on every play whether in prac-

tice or a game and cherish your life lessons you will carry with you.”

Notes: “I truly am grateful for such an honor. I know this honor represents much more

than just myself. We had a once in a lifetime team and coaching staff. I want to

acknowledge my teammates because without them non of this was possible. The of-

fense for being so dominant and making us all successful. The defense for being over-

powering and keeping the offense on the field. I want to give a special thanks to our

coaches for not just the many life lessons but for making us truly believe in ourselves

and to live our dreams. Lastly, I want to thank the Revere community—family, fans,

and supporters for all of their dedication and support through the years. It is my abso-

lute honor to be inducted and do so on behalf of my teammates, coaches, family, and

community.
