Five Questions With Shane McAtee

Shane McAtee is a senior at Pattonville. He is currently on the varsity football team. He played football before, but chose to take a break from it for a while. I decided to ask him a few questions regarding why he took a few years off, and how his life has changed since then.

Have you ever played football besides this year?

“Yes. I played in 8th and 9th grade. I decided to quit playing for a while to focus on my grades, including debate.  I also managed to get a job, but after a while, I started to miss football.”

What position do you play?

“I play right tackle and nose guard.”

Are you excited for this season, new team, and the new field?

“Yes. I think we’re going to have a great team this year. Despite the fact that we got beat by Kirkwood in our first game, I think we’re going to have an above .500 record. The field is really neat; we’re really privileged to play on such a nice field because a lot of schools don’t have this. I think it will give everyone on the team an opportunity to perform well, and make our school proud.”  

Who do you think your biggest rivals will be?

“Probably Ritenour. I think we can beat them easily, but just like all the other years, I think they’ll be our rival.”

Has playing football interfered with your life outside of school?

“It definitely has with practice. I used to have a lot of time to hang out with friends, but now I have the chance to make new friends  on the team, and we get to hang out on the field and in the locker room.”
