QUICK Q&A AUSTIN BRITNELL LAKEVILLE SOUTH, SR. FOOTBALL, WRESTLING

Britnell will serve as a captain on both the football and wrestling teams in his senior year. He is a running back on the football team. Here is a closer look at Britnell:

The best movie I've seen in the last year? "Avengers."

Three songs I never skip on my iPod are ... "Still Swingin' " by Papa Roach, "Trouble On My Mind" by Pusha T, and anything with a little Dierks Bentley.

Who do you like to follow the most on Twitter, and why? "Crazy Facts." All the facts are actually very crazy and funny to read.

Three words or phrases my friends or teammates might use to describe me? Short, fast, handsome.

What are your goals for the 2012-13 school year? I would like to see our team make it to state for football and also place in state for wrestling.

What is your most memorable moment as a high school athlete? Going to state in wrestling and football in the same year as a sophomore.

At my first varsity practice, I felt ... very intimidated.

What is your favorite meal before a game? Oatmeal or beef jerky.

How do you balance school and sports during the year? I practice and then go home and do my homework right away before anything else. Otherwise, I come in before school almost every day.

If you could change one thing about high school sports, what would it be? Politics, but we all know that won't ever change.

In 10 years, I hope I'm ... flying planes somewhere, maybe in the FBI, or doing MMA [mixed martial arts] fighting just for the fun of it because I love training for that stuff in the summers.
