Senior, Danny Hanson, is the captain of the 2009-2010 boys soccer team. Hanson not only shines on the field, but he also excels in the classroom.
Hanson is the starting defender for the varsity boys team. With a record of 3-2, the team is sure to have an exciting season. “It started off good, but it got a little rocky” Hanson said, though he remains positive. “It will be an excellent season.”
Hanson has been playing soccer since he was four years old. With the influence of his two older brothers, Hanson has always had a passion for soccer. Both of his older brothers were also varsity players on the Oak Grove boys’ soccer team. “Soccer wasn’t always a big deal for our family, but as we played it more and got older, it turned into one,” Hanson said.
Hanson is also a dedicated student who successfully balances academics with athletics. He is ranked in the top 30 students of the senior class and scored 32 on the ACT. With graduation approaching, Hanson is preparing for life after high school. “I am still undecided as to what I will do after graduating. I will either go to Mississippi State University or to an out of state college. I plan to major in some sort of engineering,” Hanson said.
Aside from school and sports, Hanson enjoys sleeping and cooking. “I like to sleep a lot,” Hanson said.
