With football preseason over and our team ready to show us what’s changed and their improvements from last season with a new coach; I had the chance to sit down with player Joshua Lucky. Lucky, an experienced member of the football family at CHS, gave me his input on how emotional it is to be a senior playing his last year, and what thinks of the season so far.

For many players football has been life changing and has impacted their lives in many ways.  “It feels great being a senior,” Lucky says, “and being able to play for CHS. Its an experience that I will never forget.” During the preseason the team said that there was a major difference from past years. With the new coach they have changed their attitudes, the way they play, and also how they come together not only as a team but a family.

The first game of the season was the first loss of the season: “The first game we went in there with a different attitude. We went in there more as a team and as a family. Sometimes you fall as a family, but you still stick together.” He also added that “I truly believe that practice doesn’t make perfect, that perfect practice makes perfect. as each day we practice the better we will get”. With the games to come lucky says they will be “More on fire and being ready to play and to do what needs to be done.” Over the years we have had great players that influence us all and that have impacted our team. For Lucky, he does the best that he can.

“All I can say is that I do my best and at the end of the day I do whatever coach needs me to do.” Many of our best players are seniors this year and have been a great inspiration for the younger players. Lucky says “There’s a few players on the team that look up to me, and I feel like I need to be an inspirational example to them.”
