Football players make All-District teams

IMG_7229

Senior Sabian Cannon was at the LBJ vs. Vandegrift game, the fourth round of playoffs, when he got a call from head football coach Charles Taylor.

“He was like, ‘How does it feel to be the repeating district MVP?’” Cannon said. “I was like, ‘It feels good!’”

Cannon made first All-District team and 26-5A Most Valuable Player (MVP), for the second year in a row. He’s just one of the many McCallum football players who made both first and second teams.

“It felt good that I repeated a good performance that I did last year,” Cannon said. “Last year I had a better year because this year I broke my thumb.”

Cannon said making the All-District team gives him more credibility to other teams and coaches.

“I want to go to school and play football,” Cannon said. “It was good that I got MVP again because when coaches look at that, they can look at me and see that they have — I don’t want to say that I’m bragging on myself — a good player.”

Along with this credibility boost, Cannon said he is encouraged to play in college more now.

“This encourages me a lot to do better,” Cannon said, “to go to college and try to be the MVP on that team or try to be a good player on that team too and help out a lot.”
