Tuesday Morning Quarterback
Daily Herald Reports
Name: Chris Minnec
School: Glenbard West Year: Senior
Best thing about being an offensive lineman: I like being able to hit someone on every play. Just getting to drive guys down the field is cool.
Worst thing about being an offensive lineman: You're always hurting your hands. You're always getting them caught in a face mask or a jersey or something.
Don't tell my coach that: I don't really eat that much at home.
If I could change one thing about football: How many injuries happen. When you're hurt and out, it's just not fun.
Team not on our schedule I wish we could play: Glenbard South. I played with a lot of those guys at the youth level (with the Golden Eagles) and it'd be fun to see them again.
How I'll celebrate if I score a TD: I'd probably do some sort of stupid dance.
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat: I use Twitter and Snapchat a lot. Twitter's got a lot of good high school football stuff and videos.
What I like best about my school: I like all the traditions we have. The school's got a great history.
Something about me that would surprise you: I used to play the violin and saxophone.
Other sports I play: I throw in track and field.
Favorite actor: Will Ferrell. All of his movies are funny to me.
Favorite actress: Scarlett Johansson. She's hot.
Favorite athlete: (Carolina Panthers quarterback) Cam Newton. He's a big, physical quarterback and everyone doubted him when he came into the league.
Favorite musician: Taylor Swift. Catchy songs you can sing along with.
The stat
In its last three games Montini's defense has allowed a total of 69 yards of offense. The Broncos gave up 65 against De La Salle, 22 against Leo and minus-18 yards against St. Joseph, all shutouts.
The quote
"Don't be the punching bag."
- Hinsdale South running back Marcus Curry, stressing the importance of his team's quick start in Friday's 42-14 West Suburban Gold victory over Addison Trail.
