I am extremely proud of the team.” Ford’s exceptional speed, agility, and ball control make him a formidable force on the soccer field. He has a keen eye for goal-scoring opportunities and has been instrumental in securing crucial goals for his team leading with most goals. “My favorite game has to be the steamboat game that we traveled over there and it was the best trip that we had. The other game that I would choose was beating Central in the rain.”Off the field, Ford is also a role model for his peers. He maintains good sportsmanship and displays a strong work ethic, both in training and in matches.
