So a moment where my hometown came together I would say definitely would be my senior year of high school 2022 when the first time in our school's history we won conference. The environment was great I mean basically the whole city was out there for the last game of the year and everyone really celebrated together and the vibes in the locker room and as a team were just really high we really came together and we knew what we wanted. We went out there and achieved what we wanted and it really made me happy and proud to see the way that our team first came together and knew what we wanted and went out and achieved what we said we were going to do but also the hometown and the community support throughout the whole season but really towards the back end when they realized we were doing something special.
