MARQUIS MARSHALL- COLLIERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

Tell everyone about yourself?
Hey my name is Marquis Marshall and I'm 15 years old. I'm 5'8, I play football, and basketball. My favorite thing to do is play football. I could play it all day an night. I play for the Collierville Dragons in Collierville, Tennessee and run a 4.57 in the 40. On the field I play running back and linebacker. On the court I play shooting guard and point guard. The most points I've scored playing is 36 points. I was 7 for 9 from 3 point range.

What was your best game?
My best football game would have to be against Southwind High School two days ago. I scored the opening kickoff which was a 92 yards return. I had 14 key tackles, one sack, and I saved the game. Even though I got hurt, it was still my best game.

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. My favorite basketball player is Lebron James. He is the best player in the NBA to me. I think he is the greatest player besides Michael Jordan who's the best of all times.

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.

What advice can you give other student-athletes?
Just always keep your head up and play your game. Work hard for you and nobody else.

DOUGLAS MCWHORTER II- RIDGEWAY HIGH SCHOOL

Tell everyone about yourself?
My Name is Douglas McWhorter II. Im a 6'3 200 lbs Jr. Linebacker at Ridgeway High school in Memphis, Tn. I was voted 3x Isaac Bruce Foundation Team Player of the Week, City of Memphis 5A Defensive MVP, voted best linebacker, and Team Defensive MVP. Last year ended the season with 101 tackles. I play Football, Basketball(ranked in the 25 in the nation),and run Track for Rideway. I also play AAU Basketball for Todd Day but Football being #1. This is a game I have fell in love with since the age of 5.

What was your best game?
That would have to be my game vs White Station(6-A TN state champions). This game I just found myself in a zone making play after play not thinking, just enjoying the game. It was not until after the game when I saw the flim and talking to my brother that I had found out that I had 21 tackles and 5 sacks. It was just a great defensive game for our team.

What can you do to make yourself better in your sport?
I live with one goal and that is be better than I was yesterday. I take this with me on and off the field. I understand that hard work and determination paysoff so I study and train hard everyday to take my game to the next level and become a better person.

What is your dream college?
I'm taking my time picking my school. I have some schools looking at me but I'm undecided on my dream college.

If a College Coach ask you, how can you make our team better, what would you say?
I'm a student of the game. I work hard and look at film alot to see what I can do better. I have played MLB, OLB, SS,FS, WR, and TE. I can play anywhere my team needs me to play. I bring good work ethic,speed, and knowledge of the game and cant wait to learn more. I have been told that I'm like a coach on the field.

What advice can you give other student-athletes?
Use your gift and don't let it use you and understand that we are student-athletes and not athlete-students. Go just as hard in the classroom as you do in your sport.
