Q&A with Sibley East athlete Kevin Durham
Ryan Burns
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">"I feel like my strengths are my toughness, straight line speed, my ability to read my plays, and my knowledge of the game," Sibley East athlete Kevin Durham said to Northstar Football. "I feel like at all times I'm the most aware player on the field. Last season individually I thought went well. I had a little over 1400 yards and 16 touchdowns I believe, including a school record 340 yards and six touchdowns in one game. I made All-district for the second consecutive year. As a team however, it was a little disappointing. We had high hopes for this past season, but things didn't come together like we hoped and we went 4-6 overall."</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:14px">Durham knows that it's an important season for he and Sibley East this fall.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:14px">"This off-season I'm really working on becoming more flexible and improve my ability to move laterally with a lower center of gravity," Durham explained. "I have sometimes in the past played too high which affects my ability to quickly change direction and stay balanced. I'm doing this by being in the weight room Mondays Wednesdays, and Fridays, along with drill work and camps. Individually next season I hope to showcase my improvements as a player and I hope to compete for an all state spot. As a team, we are losing a lot of seniors, so I hope to lead the newcomers and improve every week so that when the playoffs roll around we can compete for a state berth."</span></p>
