    Julian Estrada, Yoakum

    “Probably just seeing all of my friends. I’m probably not going to see them again, so I’ll miss them… (Also) football games are fun – a lot of energy.”

     

    Brody Hamil, Yoakum

    “I really like the sports programs. It’s like a little family. So, whenever you’re on the team, you get really close relationships and you have people to rely on if you need a ride and things like that. Just the brotherhood we have.”

     

    Brenterae Miller, Yoakum

    “The one thing is the sports. I wish I could do a whole four years one more time to show off at football... That’s the one thing I miss (from) being in high school.”

     

    Austin Sherrer, Yoakum 

    “Mostly the sports, but learning is also fun… (Sports particularly) because you can spend time with your friends and win and lose together.”
