Timeout with Sean deRubertis

SCHOOL: Dayton High

YEAR: Senior

SPORT: Football

Q: What are your favorite sports and why?

A: Football, because it's a complete team sport. No individuals can win. It's the toughest sport out there.

Q: Who is your favorite professional athlete and why?

A: Ray Lewis and Brian Dawkins because they have so much passion for the game and they bring something nobody else has.

Q: How do you feel about drug/alcohol testing at the high school level? Should it be random or should everybody on a team be tested at least once during the season?

A: I feel that it's another step to make sure players won't get in trouble. They should do it randomly.

Q: If you saw a teammate using drugs or alcohol, what would you do? Would you talk to him/her about it or turn him into the coach?

A: I wouldn't talk to him/her. I would just lose respect for him and take care of it in practice.

Q: What sport have you always wanted to try (high school or non-high school sports) and never did?

A: Rugby because it's very close to football and seems pretty tough.

Q: Do you have any hobbies?

Q: Do you have a favorite TV show?

A: Blue Mountain State, South Park and Family Guy

Q: What is your favorite food?

A: I like Italian and Mexican food.

Q: What is the last non-academic book you read?

A: Honestly I don't read much.

Q: Who is your favorite musician or group?

Q: What has been your most thrilling moment in sports?

A: In sixth grade when we played North Valleys in a playoff game. We weren't supposed to win, but we did.

Q: After graduation, where do you plan to attend college and what are you looking at in terms of a major?

A: I'm not sure where I will attend college, but all I know is that I want to play football and study in the medical field.
