Now, more than ever, the hopes of the FHN student body have grown to have a better football season due to the reputation of Normandy transfer Terry White. Sporting jersey number one, Terry is a cornerback and a receiver, and he’s achieved the title of All-Conference in the Suburban East Conference during the 2012 season.
“He understands the game well, he’s football wise,” Head Coach Brandon Gregory said. “He’ll make the team better. On his team he was the best player so him becoming a part of the team, I think will make him better and he’ll make the players around him better.”
Terry has been playing football since he was about five-years-old because his brothers before him played. As an All-Conference player, Terry was selected by being the best at his position out of the entire conference. After he was selected, he was placed on an honorary team composed of other top players from different teams.
Terry currently has one touchdown and is working hard to meet his own expectations and achieve his own personal goals without letting the pressure that goes along with the All-Conference title, as well as being a transfer student, affect the way he plays.
“The transfer has gone great and it’s just been a good experience, so it won’t affect the way I play at all.” Terry said.
Currently, the football team as a 1-2 record. As the season goes on, the Knights will work hard to meet Gregory’s and the rest of FHN’s expectations, along with meeting their own personal goals, such as thriving academically and on the field so he can play col- lege football.
“I see me and Terry coming together to help the team and our coaches achieve a goal of a championship,”corner and safety Rus- sell Lanton said. “We all have work we need to do but it can be done with hard work and focus.”
