Honor Roll |

"Jeremy is a team captain and is
a true leader on and off the
field."
-
Coach Coons |
Jeremy
Peavey is a Raymond resident who is
making a big contribution to the Windham
Middle School Football Team's undefeated
season.
Coach
Coons says about Jeremy, "As I have been
fortunate to coach football in Windham
for 5 years and have come to realize how
important it is for us to have the
athletes from Raymond play on our
teams."
Like the
pro athletes Jeremy and his teammates
look up to, Jeremy understands the
importance of taking care of your body
before the grueling season begins.
"..get your body in shape before the
season starts."
And
although Jeremy doesn't have a personal
chef like the San Diego Chargers All Pro
running back Ladainian Tomlinson, he
makes sure he "eats a healthy breakfast
filled with protein" to get ready for
his duties as a Tight End and Corner
Back for the Eagles.
"Jeremy is
a two way starter and has been for the
entire season." says Coons.
Jeremy
doesn't just start on both sides of the
ball, he contributes regardless of
what is asked of him.
Coach
Coons tells us, "If I need someone to
make a block to spring a big play I can
count on Jeremy to make that block. He
is also able to keep a defense honest
because if they are not we will dump to
him over the middle."
Coons
adds, "Jeremy is a Raymond native that
makes Windham sports better."

WSP:
Did
you know your team was going to be this
good when the season started?
JEREMY:
I didn't know my team was as good as
they are because I had nothing to
compare us to. We also had a new coach
and more new players on the team than
old ones.
WSP:
What
do you think is the biggest reason for
your team's success this season?
JEREMY:
The biggest reason, I believe this
season has had success, is that the
whole team has played with heart and
Eagle pride. The coach has been great.
He makes very good coaching decisions
and during practice the issues we've had
during the previous game are dealt with.
WSP:
What
advice would you give to the younger
kids coming up through the youth
football program?
JEREMY:
Me best advice is get your body in shape
during the off season. By doing this you
are less likely to get hurt and you will
be ahead of the game when the season
starts.
WSP: What is your favorite activity
outside of sports?
JEREMY:
I really enjoy reading novels in a
series when I'm not in sports.
WSP: What is your favorite subject
in school?
JEREMY:
My favorite subject in school is
social studies because I like to learn
about American History.
WSP:
What is
your least favorite subject in school?
JEREMY:
English Language Arts is my least
favorite because the teacher teaches us
at a very high level.
WSP:
Do you do
anything outside of practice to prepare
for football?
JEREMY:
I eat a healthy breakfast, filled with
protein. Times when I have had an
injury, I will stretch daily.
WSP: Do you have any pre-game
superstitions?
JEREMY:
Yes, I don't go on any video games or
the computer because I don't believe it
will help put my mind in the game.
