Q: Who is your favorite professional athlete and why?

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

Q: If you saw a teammate using drugs or alcohol, what would you do? Would you talk to him about it or turn him into the coach?

Q: The Olympics just ended. How much of the coverage did you watch and what sport did you enjoy watching the most and why?
