As the basketball season comes to an end, I interviewed one of Madison's most promising athletes. Michael O'Brien is a sophomore playing for the junior varsity boys basketball team. Michael plays forward and is looking like he could be a very big improvement to the varsity squad next year as he shows improvement game after game. When asking his teammates about some of his best attributes many responded the way that he was an all around good teammate and is able to play everywhere on the court. During his off-season he also plays football and is looking at the varsity quarterback spot. Everyday that he is not at practice he is trying to better himself whether it be in the weight room getting stronger or in the classroom. Currently he is pushing himself in the classroom by taking AP history and pre-calc. This shows that he is not only dedicated to his athletics, but his academic life as well which makes him a shining example of what a Madison student should be. Outside school he enjoys spending time with his friends and family. Michael's also enjoys watching Ohio States football team when he is not working out or doing homework. One of his inspirations for basketball is LeBron James, he is constantly watching him play, trying to mimick his way of playing. He also looks up to Alex Dragas who was the starting quarterback this football season and is currently an important part of the basketball team. Michael O'Brien's future at Madison is looking bright.
