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.

DONOVAN HUMPHREYS- SOUTHWIND HIGH SCHOOL

Tell everyone about yourself?
My name is Donovan Humphreys and I am a up-coming starting small forward for the Southwind Jaguars from Memphis, TN.

What are your dreams in life?
My dream is to get as far with basketball as I possibly can and also be a part of the game in any shape, form, or fashion.

What was your best game?
My best game was a CBL game in which I scored 40 points; 5 dunks, and went 10/10 from the line. That got me some exposure in locally.

Why are sports/education important to you?
Sports and education are very important. Sports keep young people busy and out of possible trouble. An education is the key to anything in life.

What can you do to make yourself better in your sport?
I can make myself better in sports by not thinking as much and let the game come to me.

How do you make your team better?
I make a impact on my team by being a threat from out and inside the paint. I'm also the most athletic on the team and my vertical leaping ability off two feet is amazing.

What advice can you give other student-athletes?
My advice to student-athletes is to never let sports get ahead of your school work. Education must always come first.
