I like to lead by example. I was voted captain for the upcoming season. I started out playing JV quarterback and some varsity wide receiver for the first four games of the season until our starting QB got injured. I then started the next 8 games. Our overall team record was 9-3, we made it to the state semi-finals. We are hoping to repeat the success we had last year. I was all conference HM and all state HM. I was also awarded offensive player of the game for three games.”
Melton knows how important the off-season grind will be for he and his team this summer.
“This off-season I'm going to be very busy,” Melton explained. “I will be playing football, baseball, and hockey in the summer along with lifting. I'm hoping to fit in a few college camps as well. I'm still growing, I've put on another inch and 15 pounds since last football season. I'm really looking to improve on running the ball and being more of a duel threat. Becoming more of a running threat will help the team.”
