Q&A with Timnath mike linebacker Vince Hochhalter

How did the high school football season go overall?
“The season record wasn't what we hoped for, but that just leaves plenty of room for improvement next season. Individually, I was glad to exceed my personal goals, play alongside my younger brother, and finish the season without any injury; I can't ask for much more than that.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“My wrestling season ended with a 36-13 personal record including an appearance at the state tournament. Track starts next week, so I'm looking forward to getting outside, spending time with the track team, and hopefully qualifying for state in the hurdles again. I plan on continuing off-season work with the football team in the mornings.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I think having some seniors on the roster will do a lot to help us show up competitively, especially against new opponents we haven't played yet. I know of some upcoming changes in coaching roles as well as player positions, so I have high hopes those changes prove successful as well.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Let's just say we have our work cut out for us, no matter the opponent. Berthoud is always a tough team, but we can't overlook the Wellington rivalry either.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“Wellington Quarterback Tanner Gray is a significant threat in size and leadership, which has proven lethal in past games. Our paths have crossed a bit during the wrestling season and my respect for him has only grown. I'm excited for our next match up.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I would be thrilled and extremely humbled to have the opportunity to play football or run track in college. The life of a collegiate athlete requires lots of time in the gym and on the field. Add on the pressures of academic performance and social demands and there's no doubt, it will require discipline and hard work- both of which I'm profoundly familiar with.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I've had several smaller schools show potential interest, but so far, no school has offered anything official.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“Wyoming invited me to Junior Day, so I assume (and hope) I'm someone they're considering; I really want to go there. In addition, Western Colorado has shown interest according to Coach. Again, nothing formal or official.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“Yes- I plan to join ROTC, so we've toured the following schools to check out their ROTC Detachments: Oregon, Oregon State, CSU, CU, Air Force Academy, and Wyoming.”

Do you have plans for any trips soon?
“Any school that shows interest or invites me to anything official, I'd definitely make the trip for.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“No, but I'm a huge college football fan; I always hope for a good game but never picky on who is playing. Moving 15 times in your childhood kind of prevents you from having a ‘home team’.”
