Patriots, meet  number 71, Teva Batoon, a determined athlete on our patriotic varsity football team. Not only does he hold a championship title with our liberty team, he also finds balance within his academics and his social life. Not only participating in football but also in Jiu Jitsu and boxing. By thriving off of constructive criticism he has become a valuable player for our football team, being an amazing defensive tackle and defensive end player. 

Teva is always trying his hardest and helped lead us to our first football win of the year. He has repeatedly shown his perseverance. Having a strong future ahead, Teva has plans for attending Arizona Christian University in Phoenix, Arizona. He is dedicated to being involved within the school and doesn’t engage in social media due to the negative impacts that social media may have on his life. 

As any other football athlete can relate, Teva has experienced all of the hardships that come along with playing a sport, such as the victories  along with the losses. Making and finding new relationships along with finding himself a family within his school environment, Teva has managed to make long lasting and valuable relationships.
