Georgia Arvanitis, co-sports editor

Finishing his last football season of high school, senior Jack Healy reflects on his time as a South athlete.

What is your favorite part of football?

“Being a part of a family. I love all the guys on the team.”

What advice would you give to other GBS

athletes?

“Work hard in the weight room. That was the biggest difference for me.”

What were your goals this season?

“My goals were to make the playoffs and get all-conference. We obviously didn’t make the playoffs, and I’m still waiting to see if I made all-conference.”

What was your favorite memory this season?

“The Maine South game. We lost, but we played really well and I was proud of all my teammates.”

What is one thing you can’t live without?

“Music. I love hip-hop music and listen to it 24/7.”

Do you have any pregame rituals?

“Before the game I would just listen to rap music and catch balls with the other receivers like Jake Smiley and Tony Jerfita.”

Who is your favorite NFL player and why?

“Brandon Matshall [of the New York Jets]. Because like me, he is tall and goes up to get the ball over small defenders, which is what I try to do.”
