TIMEOUT WITH JAKE TURNER

Jake Turner Dayton High Junior Football

Q: What are your favorite sports and why?

A: Football, basketball and golf. They are the three sports I grew up playing and what I do at the high school.

Q: Who is your favorite professional athlete and why?

A: Steve Nash. He's smaller which makes him an underdog, and he gts his job done, and doesn't brag or gloat about it. He's very classy.

Q: How do you feel about drug/alcohol testing at the high school level? Should it be random or should everybody be tested?

A: I think it's good that they do it because if you care about sports enough you shouldn't have to worry about it. I think it should be random after the athlete takes an initial test.

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

A: I'm not sure if I would know what to do because it would take me so much by surprise.

Q: What sport have you always wanted to try, but never have?

A: Hockey. It's a lot like football, but I think it takes more skills and patience.
