“Emeka scared us to death. We schemed to not let him touch the ball as a wide receiver. When they put him at running back, we held our breath. We accidentally punted to him once. He took it to the house. He’s a really good player.”
Rory Rosenbach
Head Coach - Head coach of Union High, which won the 2018 Class 4A state title
