Q: How has your senior year of school been going?
SHADDICK: “My senior year has been going pretty good. I’m really thankful for the teachers and staff who have been making our senior year the best it can be considering the pandemic we’re going through. I’m grateful for all the opportunities we’ve had, especially since I know some other schools haven’t been as lucky as we have.”
Q: Is it surreal to you that you’re a senior?
SHADDICK: “Yes, it’s crazy. I feels like just yesterday that I was at freshman orientation. Everybody says it goes by fast, but you don’t realize just how fast it goes by until your senior year.”
Q: What is your favorite activity at school?
SHADDICK: “Definitely golf because I love the girls on the team. We’ve been really successful together. It was such an awesome atmosphere. I really loved everything about it, especially the coaches and players.”
