Rocky Football

Owen making a tackle during the Rocky vs Rigby football game

In the town of Meridian Idaho, there is a junior at rocky mountain high school who has a great love for the sport of Football, his passion and love for the sport started at a young age, 5 years old. His first tackle football team that he participated in was called the Grizzlies where he played wide receiver. And the people that he had on his team back when he was 5 are still close friends that he plays with today.

Owen had this passion from football that started from his brother and his family, his dad was also one of his coaches during optimist the league he played in when he was young and his dad is still his coach today, and he just felt that he was good at this sport and he enjoyed to play it with the support from his friends and family he has continued to play this sport and brought to high school and he has earned himself a starting spot on the Rocky Mountain High School varsity football roster playing positions such as De also known as Defensive end and LB which is also known as a Linebacker. Owen has one big goal for this season which is for him and his team to go and win the state title. I asked Owen about what he does on game days to prepare for the game he says he likes to get to school earlier than other people just to make sure that he is on time to his classes and he hydrates and he made sure to include one of the most important things is to get a good night sleep so you are well rested and not tired and he makes sures to get a good lunch in on game days he choose to go home so he is not late and can get back to school at a early and good time.

Owen has the number 30 jersey here and rocky which is something that he wants to change his brother Parker Weatherly played at rocky before him and at the same position that he did which is Defensive end. Owen wants to be able to have the number 16 jersey next year so he can have the same number that his brother did when he played.

Owen told be about the best things and worst things about his sport, the best thing he said is just being able to go out and have fun and to compete, the worst thing Owens said was just being sore and tired most times after practice and after almost every game. Owens passion for football on and off the field often playing with his friends on turf fields even if it’s just going and throwing the football around Owen is always available, one thing Owen said he likes to do is gather all his friends and go and play football and make their own teams and just go out and have fun playing the sport. Owen said he likes to go out and do this because it helps him improve in his sport but with it he is able to go out and have fun just being able to hang out with his friends while doing something that he is interested in. Owens goals for the future with football is he wants to be able to take it to the next level and play at the college level and play for Boise State University.

Some quotes that Owen has said is, “live a little” because he just wants people to go out and live there life and not care about what other people think about you on and off the field. Owen has also said about being the in sport that helps with is passion is being able to go all over the field with him saying that he loves to, “fly around the field” just being able to go around and hitting people and he just says being on the field is a freeing feeling for him just letting him be able to be him on the field.

Owen is an outstanding player for his football team and someone who tries his hardest in practice to just be the best in everything that he tries on and off the field.
