Given the chance, what person, dead or alive, would you most like to meet? Why?

JFK. He’s one of my favorite presidents and it seems like he would be an interesting guy to talk to and learn from.

If you could have your pick, what celebrity would you choose as your prom date?

Taylor Swift.

You’re on a deserted island, you could have an endless supply of one food. What would it be?

Br. Pat’s (Hayes) barbecue rib sandwiches before football games. He makes them special for the basketball team. They’re the best.

Ten years from now, when you’re talking about coach Pat Richardson, what’s the first thing that will come to mind?

Preparation. He spends a ridiculous amount of time getting us ready for games.

Take your pick: LeBron or D-Rose?

D-Rose. He’s a great leader. He’s like a general on the court. He gets his teammates the ball and he can score, too.

What’s in our iPod?

A little bit of everything. I have some country, rock and rap. Bands like Nickelback, the Zac Brown Band and Eminem.

What first comes to mind when you hear the name Michael Jordan?

The greatest player that’s ever lived.

State title game. You’re in it. What team would you most like to beat for the championship? Why?

Marist. They’re our biggest rival, the fans really get into it and there’s just so much history between the schools.

As told to Pat Disabato
