Time out with Sam Hadley

SCHOOL: Dayton High School

SPORTS: Baseball/Football

YEAR: Senior

Q: What are your favorite sports and why?

A: My favorite sports are baseball and football. Baseball, because I started playing when I was little and it has been a major part of my life ever since. Football, because I like the contact and intensity involved.

Q: Who is your favorite professional athlete?

A: My favorite professional athlete is Buster Posey, because he is the perfect model of a quintessential catcher. You can tell he has put in a lot of time and hard work in order to overcome his injury to be able to play this season.

Q: How do you feel about drug/alcohol testing at the high school level? Should it be random or should everybody be tested at least once during the season?

A: Drug and alcohol testing should be tested at least once to everyone on each team in the season. Although I think there are much more important things for the schools to be spending money on rather than expensive drug testing.

Q: If you saw a teammate using drugs or alcohol, what would you do?

A: I would tell that person that if it happens again, either they would have to tell the coach, or I would.

Q: What sport have you always wanted to try but never have, and for what reason?

A: I've always wanted to try lacrosse. I haven't had the chance to because they don't offer that as a school sport in Dayton.

A: I like to snowboard/ski, bowl, hang out at the lake, and hang out with friends.
