Austin Hall.
"Well actually here at Kendrick, I was the waterboy for 10 years back when my brother played so I've been around Kendrick for a long time.
Starting as the waterboy, the decision to play for Kendrick was easy but now as the starting quarterback for the team, Austin faces some new decisions.
"I have a hard problem with my height when I 'm back in the pocket and making the right decision whether to throw or not cause turnovers kill you," said Hall. "Interceptions and stuff like that, I'm out of the pocket quite a bit, running around throwing. Having the run and throw option is good for me."
Austin plays a dual role for the Tigers. Not only is he their quarterback but he plays linebacker for the defense. He thinks playing time at both positions is beneficial to each other.
"At quarterback you're always reading the linebackers so as a linebacker I think I can read whats going on and make plays and stuff like that so it's fun," said Hall.
Austin's teammates describe him as a leader of the team. Entering his final season with Kendrick, he likes how things are going so far and has a pretty big goal for the Tigers.
"The goal for me and i think as a team would be to make the state playoffs and play in the dome," said Hall. "That's a big goal, I'm trying to get there."
