It’s that time of the year again when the leaves are starting to change colors and soon they will be falling off the trees, and oh, I almost forgot, “Are you ready for some football?” It’s one of the most exciting times of the year because nothing beats the thrill of watching your favorite football team score a touchdown. I may enjoy football season, but I know Houston Carrol is ecstatic when football season comes around.
Houston Carroll played for Aynor High School varsity football team as the starting tight end for three years. Even though when he started in ninth grade, the teams record was one win and nine losses, by the end of his senior year they had improve their record to eight wins and four losses, and, for the first time in Aynor history, they finally beat Marion High School. When I was interviewing Houston, the only thing he was interested in was talking to his buddies about the upcoming football season; I could tell he was passionate about the sport, and he always will be as time passes.
Houston wants to pursue a career in Golf Turf Science, which requires a Bachelor’s degree in Turf Science from a four year university. To some people this degree may sound simple, but there is a great amount of hard work that goes in to managing a golf course because in this career Houston will have the task of judging grass, knowing the different types of soils, and managing his maintenance staff.
When asking Houston more about himself, he mentioned to me his favorite type of food is southern comfort food, such as fried chicken. One of his favorite southern restaurants is the Sunny Mart Buffet, which, according to Houston, has the best fried chicken you will ever have in your life. Another insight to Houston was finding out where his favorite place was to go to relax. He likes anyplace that has a beautiful view, which gave me the impression that he really enjoyed the outdoors. It was later confirmed that Houston loves to hunt and has the same passion for hunting as he does for football.
After conducting the interview, I found out that Houston is in love with sports, wheather it is football or golf. If Houston keeps his passion alive for sports, he will have a promising career for years to come. So I ask you again, “ Are you ready for some football?”
