The answer, as recorded

Transcript. What follows is a transcript of the video above, in Jayden Crawford’s own words. It has not been rewritten, and no part of it was drafted for them.

One moment where my hometown came together was my senior year of high school when I returned back to my hometown, Alexander. We went 8-0 in the summer, our first time playing together with me on the team, and we finished the season 32-2, and we only lost one game with our full team. That year was incredible. Our hometown show supported every game, most packed student section, most packed crowd, and we were able to win the state championship on top of all of that. So that was, and the hometown supported every game, and definitely the state championship game against Woodward. So that was one big time that's kind of like a big celebration for our hometown.
