Erwin says Massey is a mature young man ith strong moral values.  Richuel is very humble, says Erwin.  He s a great Christian who loves the Lord---he even has a Bible in his locker and I ve seen him witnessing his faith to his teammates. <br>Massey does well in academics, scoring 21 on the ACT, and he definitely plans on going to college to pursue a degree in engineering. Although he hasn t made any firm commitments and says,  I just want to play, Massey says his favorite schools include Texas, Alabama and Florida.<br>As Massey goes into his senior year, there will be a lot of pressure on him to continue to produce big plays on the gridiron and hoist even more monstrous weights on the lifting platform. Based on his past amazing accomplishments, Richuel Massey, Jr. is more than ready for the tough tests ahead. in the weight room by working hard to get to this level. Going in the weight room each day and lifting was a natural activity to me. <br>Jim s lifts improved this year to a 350 Bench, a 500 Squat, a 405 Hang Clean and a 331 Push Jerk. He has never missed a workout and the only practice that he has ever missed was due to food poisoning last August when he lost 10 pounds.  I don t like missing things, said Jim.  I try to trun my assignments in early. This attention to detail has resulted in a 3.0 GPA as he works toward a Masters Degree in Counseling Education. Jim also has a relentless method of preparing for a football game.  It starts on Mnday morning at 7 a.m., watching film. Each day, Monday through Friday, we have meetings at 2 p.m. After practice, usually for about 30 minutes, I sit down with the coaches and discuss game plans and watch film. Depending on how comfortable I feel about the opponent, I watch film on Wednesday nights from about midnight to 2 a.m. This gives me a chance to focus on the opponent without having distractions. Throughout the week, I use mental imagery to focus on how I would react to an unusual situation or make the big ply to win the game. I am a player who likes to practice and be prepared for each game. Game day is no different from any other day during the week. I just think of it as another practice. <br>Jim believes that negatives like drugs and alcohol is stuff that gets in your way.  It holds you back. I advise peoheir varsity player team goal was to get their 60-yard dash to under 7.0 seconds. By January, the average timewas 6.8 seconds touchdowns in the school s second game with Duke. And with a veteran offensive line to keep the opposing defensemen at bay and a quality senior quarterback in Zak Kustok, you can expect more big numbers from Anderson along with more W s for the team.<br>When asked what advice he would give high school running backs trying to emulate his accomplishments, Anderson stressed dedication to goals.  I went from the best high school program in Illinois to probably one of the worst when my family moved, and I was faced with a lot of adversity then, explains Anderson.  But we turned the whole program around, and then when we played on Fridays the whole town practically shut down. Even as Damien Anderson looks toward his own promising career in the NFL, his veteran advice is to stay focused, and find ways to continually motivate yourself.  You just have to want it - you need that inner drive to be successful. <br>Drive on, Damien!<br><br><br>_______________<br><br> Damien
