Favorite Coach

I’ve had so many great coaches so I can’t choose just one favorite

What you’ve learned in 4 years at EBHS

The best teams are the teams that are the closest and willing to do anything for each other

If you have little groups of a team you will never be as good as you could have been, but a team where everyone is close are usually the teams that succeed more

Future Plans

To attend Brevard College studying Physical Education and play football and baseball

After that go to the NFL for a couple years then try out the MLB

Coach’s Quote

In my 29 years of coaching, I have never coached a player that competed so hard and so consistently as Cannon

Whether it was practice or a game, there was never a moment that I ever saw Cannon not give his absolute best effort
