At the line with two seconds left, crowd going insane. 24 hours later the smell of sweat dripping of the pads at the 50-yard line.  

 

There are many athletes at HSE, but not many of them play three. John McCall, just a sophomore, starts varsity for our football team, JV for the basketball team, and varsity for the baseball team.   

 

“It keeps me entertained throughout the year,” McCall said, “It gives me the opportunity to play with new people. I also enjoy the competition aspect.” 

 

McCall still puts forth maximum in all three sports for the Royals, and he doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon. He is often found in the weight room training to get better every day. McCall rarely has any days off between three sports in high school. 

 

“Combine how well he does all three [sports] with the type of student he is” Coach Morris, the varsity football coach said, “it’s really impressive.”  

 

Every opportunity McCall has to improve, he takes it. He is known as one of the hardest workers on the team, by the coaches and his fellow teammates. 

 

“The sports I’m in right now help me stay in shape.” McCall said. “Weights help me stay active. Without the weight sessions I wouldn’t be as prepared for my next sport.” 

 

No matter the sport, McCall always puts in his best effort. Every season of sports, you will find him either on the court or on the field. His ability to stay so engaged in all three high school sports is truly amazing.                                                                                                               Story by Turner Graves
