One thing I noticed during our interview is how much of a competitor this young man is, you can tell that he hates to lose and is a team first guy, be on the lookout for Jordan and Lumberton HS this season to do big things.
Q: So you guys had a big game tonight crowd and environment was crazy, very tough loss though, what is something you can take from this game?
Jordan: Well its 1-1 right now between us and Fairmont this season so the next one is at their place, we will play even harder and won’t take any breaks.
Q: You’re one of the younger guys on the team but already kindve getting your feet wet early and playing a lot of minutes, has it always been a confidence with you in your abilities or do you feel like its growing as the season goes along?
Jordan: First few games I wasn’t really doing too well, was averaging about 6 a game and now I’m at about 13, its just playing confidence no matter what happens.
Q: How do you play with during the summer?
Jordan: Robeson Flyers
Q: Any colleges sending recruitment stuff so far?
Jordan: UNCP so far
Q: it seems like you can both play both positions, what do you see yourself as?
Jordan: Whatever the coach wants and whatever is best for the team then that’s where I play.
Q: You’re from a small town in East NC that I feel gets overlooked a lot, does that help you play with a chip on your shoulder?
Jordan: Yessir, It does, I’m trying to put Lumberton and Robeson County on the map.
Q: Personal and team goals for this season?
Jordan: Win the playoffs, get to the playoffs and win
