STEPPING ON NEW TURF

A LOOK AT TWO COACHES NEW TO GENEVA THIS YEAR
Words Spencer Yarbrough

COACH DREW BRUNSON Drew Brunson arrived at Geneva this year, and shared
his thoughts and passion about the sport he loves,
track and field.

Yarbrough: Did you run track in high school and if so
how long did you run?
Brunson: I ran track throughout high school and
went on to become a NCAA Champion at Florida
State University.

Yarbrough: What has been your favorite part of
coaching at Geneva?
Brunson: I like seeing the atmosphere of the school
and the young athletes giving it their all every minute
they spend on the track. When you push them hard
you see the will and character shine through.

Yarbrough: What is your favorite part of the sport?
Brunson: The competitiveness of track is a completely
different challenge than other sports. The technique
that goes into track is far beyond just running.

New to Geneva this year, Timothy Millage, Logic
School softball coach and Latin teacher, shares insight
into his passion for the sport.

Yarbrough: Did you play baseball in high school and if
so how long did you play for?
Millage: I played high school baseball, college
baseball for two years (before a shoulder injury) and a
few years of semi-pro.

Yarbrough: What is your favorite memory of being a
part of a team in high school?
Millage: I grew up on the sandlot. We played all day
and developed incredible baseball memories. Baseball
brought my neighborhood together and it helped all
of us grow to be healthy adults. When I see the movie
“Sandlot,” I am immediately transported to the time
when nailing together broken bats meant something.

Yarbrough: What is your favorite part of the game?

Millage: I get really charged up when one of my COACH TIM MILLAGE
players makes the proper play in a given situation.

Softball is so fast. You have to keep your mind in

the game. Yarbrough: How does the softball program at Geneva

impact the students’ lives?

Yarbrough: What has been your favorite part of Millage: Being a part of a team is a golden moment

coaching at Geneva? in the lives of student athletes. Making memories,

Millage: My favorite part of coaching at Geneva is developing relationships, cultivating leadership and

JACKSON YOUNG

Abilene Christian University
Football

When did you decide that you wanted to play
your sport at the college level and what pushed
you in that direction?
Young: Definitely after my sophomore
football season. We had just lost the State
Championship by one point and I knew I
needed motivation to get a lot better, so I
decided I was going to pursue college football.

What is your favorite thing about your sport?
Young: My favorite thing is how versatile it is, because football is obviously a really rough sport that requires toughness. But,
as a receiver, it also requires a lot of quickness and finesse as well as good football IQ.

Is there anything specific you are looking forward to about playing in college?
Young: I’m looking forward to meeting a bunch of new teammates and becoming the best possible player I can be.

Is there a professional athlete who has inspired you?
Young: I would say Hunter Renfroe who plays for the Raiders. Coming out of college, he was one of the least athletic
receivers but he was still one of the best in his rookie class.

When did you start playing your sport?
Young: My first season was YMCA in the fourth grade; we were the Tigers and I’m pretty sure we won one game.

What is your favorite thing about your sport?
Cress: My favorite thing about horsemanship, and riding
in general, is being able to wordlessly communicate to an
animal and move in harmony with them. The best way to
describe it is like poetry in motion and there is no better
feeling than that partnership.

Abilene Christian University
Football

What is your favorite part about playing a sport in college?
Myrick: My favorite part of playing college football is getting
to devote most of my time to playing the game that I love.
I get to learn more about football than I ever thought I would.

Pros & Cons:
Myrick: Some pros are: you have a very structured schedule,
you get to build strong relationships, and you’ll learn to be
able to fall asleep just about anywhere. Some cons are that
you are always tired, you are always sore and you don’t have
much time to hang out with people.

What advice do you have for the incoming athletes? What
do you wish you knew before you started playing your sport
in college?
Myrick: The main advice that I would give to someone
coming to play a college sport is to make sure you have a
very strong reason for why you play. The people that do
not have a strong “why” do not last very long. If you have a
strong why then you can use that to push through things like
early mornings and long practices. One thing I wish I knew
before I started playing in college is how to manage my time
well and take advantage of the free time that I get.

JOSEPH HOHNE CLASS OF ‘20

Texas A&M University
Track and Field

What is your favorite part about playing a sport in college?
Hohne: My favorite part is bonding with the other track
athletes on the team and getting better together.

Pros & Cons:
Hohne: Pros would be it keeps me out of trouble; it’s hard
work and I enjoy the camaraderie with my teammates. Cons
would be it’s a lot of time out of my day and you don’t get
too many second chances if you mess up with your event.

What advice do you have for the incoming athletes? What
do you wish you knew before you started playing your sport
in college?
Hohne: My advice to incoming athletes is make sure it’s
something you really want to do and not something your
parents or someone else is making you do. College is
definitely more of a business where they don’t really care
how you feel, but about how well you can compete and
how skilled you are.

DID HE DO IT ALONE?
A TAKE ON WHETHER TOM BRADY IS ACTUALLY THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
Words Jackson Young

On February 7 2021, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led
by Tom Brady, won Super Bowl LV. Immediately
following this win, football fans everywhere began to
say that whether you like him or not, Tom Brady is the
greatest football player of all time. And while
I agree he certainly is a great player, I don’t think he
has proven himself enough to make it clear that he is
the G.O.A.T.

In his 18 seasons, Tom Brady has won seven Super
Bowls, 14 Conference Championships and has had
44 playoff game appearances, which is more than
several NFL franchises have in their team history!
Clearly these things qualify him to be a Hall of Famer,
but I do not believe he has secured his spot as the
greatest ever YET.

Brady has received a great deal of help by being a part
of truly great all-around football teams, specifically
aided by a great coach and great defenses. New
England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick is known
for being one of the best coaches in the NFL. His
unmatched knowledge and insight of the game of
football gives his team the opportunity to win any
game they play in. It is undeniable that Brady played
a large role in Belichick’s success, but regardless,
Belichick made the Patriots an overall better team.
And I believe that without Belichick and the elite
defenses Brady played with, he would not be
considered an all-time great.

shared their thoughts on art.

cool to see how my art could actually have
an affect on other people’s lives.

Arnold: What do you look forward

Janse: I look forward to trying new things
and honoring God in all my pieces. I’m
super-excited because I’m going to be
studying art/graphic design in college
and I know my program has tons of cool
things to try like animation and 3D design
as well as traditional art classes. So, I’m
excited to grow and see how I can push
my boundaries and take my experiences in
high school to my future in design.

CODY LANE GEORGE

Arnold: What has helped your art the most?

George: Practice. I love drawing portraits, and
I find that the more I do it, the better
I get. Mrs. Lester has also helped me
become a better artist.

Arnold: What is your favorite thing about art?

George: I love the satisfaction a finished piece
of work brings. I love to see what other people
think of it, too. One of my favorite quotes from

the artist Edgar Degas is, “Art is not what you
see but what you make others see.”

an artist in Grammar School?

Friesenhahn: Mrs. Lester has definitely helped
me grow the most in art. She has helped me
become the artist I am today.

we adopted her.

I have done without her.
