NAME: Casey Wolfe

SCHOOL: Carson High

GRADE: Junior

Q: What are your favorite sports and why?

A: My favorite sports are baseball and baseball. Since I could talk, I have developed a love for the game, the atmosphere around it, the smell of the grass, the look of a freshly groomed field, camaraderie between the teams, the excitement of hitting the ball deep, and legging out a triple, or hitting it out and touching them all. The best place on Earth is a baseball stadium.

Q: Who is your favorite professional athlete and why?

A: J.T. Snow. He is my favorite athlete because he played first base for my favorite team (the San Francisco Giants). He was a great first baseman. I liked how he kept his composure on the field. He is my idol for how a baseball player acts on and off the field.

Q: How do you feel about drug/alcohol testing at the high school level? Should it be random or should every body who plays a sport be tested during the season?

The testing is a great thing because it gives athletes in a tight spot a way out and keep every athlete's integrity intact.

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