CONNOR HARRIS- CHRISTIAN BROTHERS HIGH SCHOOL

Tell everyone about yourself?
My name is Connor Harris, I am an Freshman at Christian Brothers High School (Memphis, TN) class of 2014. The positions I play are: Running back, Kick Return, and Corner back. Out of the three, I personally enjoy KR & RB most.

What was your best game?
In my opinion my best game came against Whitehaven High School's 9th grade freshman team. During the game, our first drive, my first carry, I scored from 48 yards. Even though I was pulled from the game before halftime, in the first half I had achieved: 3 touches, 74 total yards and 1 touchdown.

Who is the best player you have played against?
The best player I have ever played against: hmm, that's a good one. I cannot really give a great answer because I'm on the Freshman team, not yet experienced Varsity, but I can say the best TEAM I have ever played against was Memphis University School. They are widely heard of, after defeating South Panola in 2009 21-19.

How do you make your team better?
I try to make my team better by being wherever the coach needs me. I was a team captain and consider myself to be a positive role model for all the athletes surrounding me. Sometimes being strict, or assertive is what it takes to get the job done.

Who is your favorite player?
My Favorite football player is Lamichael James. I say Lamichael, because of the many similarities that we both have in our styles of play. I enjoy seeing him do jump cuts, jukes, spins, and many other types of moves. By watching him, I see that I can also pick up a few moves by observing.

Why are sports/education important to you?
Sports and education are both equally important to me because they go hand-in-hand. Without education, sports is not possible, and in parallel, without sports, you could be missing out on the opportunities of colleges being able to pay for your college career.

What advice can you give other student-athletes?
To other student athletes looking on: What I have done that has made me successful is my WORK ETHIC and my DESIRE TO SUCCEED. Equipped with both, how could you go wrong?

How do you make your team better?
I never put my team down. If we miss I tell them that we will make up for it next time , if we need a big play I tell the coach to put me in and I can do it. Now, every time we need a big play the coaches call on me " Dr. Marshall". I'm a team leader and I do all I can to help my team. My team is my life until the season is over.

Who is your favorite player? Why?
My favorite player is Ray Lewis. He is the best linebacker to ever play the game to me. My favorite thing to do is watch him play no matter if they're winning or losing.

Why are sports/education important to you?
I think sports can take you a long way along with a great education. A good education will take us a lot farther in life than sports.

Just always keep your head up and play your game. Work hard for you and nobody else.
