A Loss Can Bring Out Great Things

     Mogadore, Ohio- Evan Harris had one of his best games of his life, in a game that he actually lost. Harris played for the Field Falcons of Field high school, in Mogadore, Ohio. He played as a nose tackle in this game. It was his senior year and he was getting padded up to play against the Kent Roosevelt Rough Riders.  Roosevelt's starting quarter back was set to play at Pennsylvania State, which is a D1 program.

     He stepped out on the field ready to play however things weren’t going as well as him and his team had hoped. “Our team was losing badly since this school was a division higher than we were and they were bigger than we were,” Harris recalled.

     As they were playing there was something off about his team. Even though he was playing a stronger and bigger team, his team was still not playing to their potential. However Harris had a different story for himself. He was actually playing one of his best games.

     “I had a fantastic game,” Harris said.

     He came out with having about nine tackles and four sacs. This ended being an impressive victory for Harris because he went against a “soon to be” D1 athlete. Harris described how it felt, “It felt good that I had sucked him four times.”

     Even though the end of the game came out to be a loss for the Field Falcons, it was still hands down one of the most memorable and best games in Evan Harris’s life.
