  Here is Gregory's interview with sports reporter Skylar Casellis. You've now beaten
• 0:58
  Plano three times in your high school career. Do any of those
• 1:02
  wins stand out above them, rest for you? Gregory, this one stands
• 1:06
  out above the rest for me, the one this year, because I
• 1:10
  feel like I definitely had my best game against the and it
• 1:13
  just meant a lot more being my senior year, and maybe being
• 1:16
  the last time that we played Plano. Which aspect of your performance
• 1:21
  Do
• 1:21
  you take the most pride in? Gregory, I think I did really
• 1:24
  good on defense this week. I think I had a lot of
• 1:27
  tackles. Definitely improved from last week. Do you watch college andor professional
• 1:32
  football? And if so, which teams do your root for? Gregory, no,
• 1:38
  I don't really watch college or professional. Are there any current or
• 1:41
  former NFL running backs you try to model your game after? Gregory.
• 1:46
  Whoever hits the hardest. Which of your teammates would you most hate
• 1:50
  to face in an Oklahoma drill? Gregory, probably cash white. He
• 1:56
  just does everything right and he's a hard hitter. He's always been
• 1:58
  a hard hitter since youth when I played with him, and he
• 2:01
  definitely knows how to hit. Where's your favorite place to eat at
• 2:05
  in Sandwich and what's your go-to item there? Gregory, I like Johnny
• 2:10
  Kay's and I like their Italian beefs. What are your thoughts on
• 2:14
  the ending of then recent Michigan Western Michigan game? Gregory, I don't
• 2:20
  really know if there was a second left or not. It didn't
• 2:22
  really look like it when I watched it. But I mean if
• 2:25
  there wasn't a second left, then Western Michigan definitely got robbed. Who
• 2:30
  do your have winning the Super Bowl this year? Gregory, hopefully the
• 2:34
  Bears. What's the worst fantasy football punishment you can think of? Gregory,
• 2:40
  probably the dog cage. When you lose you have to go in
• 2:43
  a cage, and your friends get to pour stuff in it, and
• 2:45
  it's just nasty.
