Athlete's Corner

By: Amy Parker

Nate Dubois, tricaptain of the Varsity Football Team, is a senior hoping to go on to college to become an Emergency Medical Technician. He enjoys playing sports because it "builds character and teaches you a lot about working as a team."

With his chin hair as a good luck charm, Nate says he prepares for a game by checking over all of his equipment, going over plays, and getting "pumped up listening to music." For inspiration, he looks to his dad, who he says is his role model. "When he played football for Lewiston, he was the smallest lineman. He was strong, quick, and worked hard and started varsity his junior year."

Jen Fillion, a recent transfer from St. Dom's and Varsity Field Hockey player, is a senior hoping to got to Boston for college to major in biology. She then hopes to go to medical school to become a doctor. Jen explains that she plays sports in order to manage her time and to stay in shape. Though she has no pre-game rituals, Jen does have a necklace that she never takes off and considers her good luck charm. If she could meet anyone she says she "would meet Adam Sandler because he is really funny and still down to earth."
