After finishing with a record of 3-6 last year, senior Brayton Peters is working hard to turn that around for his last season at Minneapolis High School.
Peters is a running back for the Lions, who had six touchdowns last year as well as 413 rushing yards.
Head coach Garrett Galinski gives major props to Peters’ hard work that got him on the field in previous seasons.
“He is an extremely physical and hardworking player who will do anything that you ask of him. In order to get him on the field when he was a sophomore we played him at nose tackle and he was extremely successful,” Galinski said.
Peters is excited for his senior season and to be able to finally get back on the field.
“I am excited to get to run the ball and just go out there and try to smack someone as hard as possible,” Peters said.
There are also a couple of goals that Peters has set for him and his team this season.
“I do want to improve on my ability to break more tackles than last year, I just want our team to have a winning record for my senior year and to go out with a bang,” Peters said.
Peters, aside from being a leader on this team, also sets the tone energy-wise.
“I set for the team the adrenaline and the tone to go out there and get stuff done and hit the other team in the face right from the start,” Peters said.
