Spencer Schaff’s last year and a half at Scottsbluff High School was filled with a series of setbacks, including getting struck by a car, suffering a season-ending knee injury in his final football season, and then watching his last high school soccer season get cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. All the adversity he’s faced, however, has made Schaff a stronger, more resilient person, and he feels like the obstacles he’s overcome will help him succeed as he moves on with his life.
