HE SAID IT "It's crazy to think that just the other day, I was just a little kid running out here being a ballboy. Now it's my senior year. I'm playing my last games. It's crazy. I've seen a lot happen, the rough years, the good years. I've been dreaming about this season my entire life. It's just a blessing that it's here and I get to go represent with my dad."
