As the season for football comes to an end, many of the players will begin their off-season practices while many seniors are going to graduate with an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. One varsity player who will leave Alhambra High School after four years of being a Moors football player is senior captain and quarterback Jonathan Bird.

How would you describe your experience being a Moors football player?
The past four years have been great. I’m glad I got the chance to play and I would not trade this experience for a million dollars.

What is your future goal?
My future goal would be to get a bachelor’s degree in engineering and be able to coach football in the future.

What advice would you give to incoming players and current players?
You need to work hard during off-season, because that’s where it all starts. Other teams are doing the same, but you must work harder than them.

What is your best memory?
On of my best memories would be when I made a 40-yard field goal against South Pasadena during my junior year.

What is something you regret not doing?
I regret not taking the workouts seriously until my junior year, because it really does make a difference.
