Q & A with... Andy Haag


Roving reporter Michelle Sandstrom sat down with Varsity running back Andy Haag, #21 last week for a short Q&A session.

Q; What’s your date of birth?
A; March 6, 1992.

Q; Have you lived in Oak Harbor your whole life?
A; Most of it, I was born in Illinois but I have been raised here.

Q; What sport do you play and position?
A; I play Varsity and JV football and I’m a Safety and a Running Back.

Q; What made you choose football over other fall sports such as Cross Country or Cheerleading?
A; I’m more of a sprinter and Cross Country guys are tall and skinny and Cheerleading, no way, that’s just not for me.

Q; Do you have any current injuries?
A; I have shin splints but I’m running through those and my wrist has been hurting really bad, I don’t know what’s wrong yet I just wrap it before each practice and game.

Q; When you're out on the field, what’s going through your mind?
A; The play and what my job is.

Q; Is there anyone you prefer to be playing with?
A; Clarence, because he knows what to do in any situation.

Q; Do you play/practice on your spare time?
A; Yeah I get together with friends occasionally or I’ll toss the ball around with my girlfriend but it’s nothing like real practice.

Q; What else do you like to do with your spare time?
A; Play video games.

Q; In most sports, athletes have to be on a diet or cut certain foods out. Do you?A; It doesn’t hurt to eat healthy and the coaches encourage it, but then again we always stop off at McDonalds on the way home after a game. I usually get two quarter pounders with cheese because of the special going on right now, but yeah I eat what I want, I need to gain weight anyways.

Q; Everyone has bad games or practices, how do you handle those?
A; Get angry and use the anger next practice or game.

Q; What year are you in this year?
A; I’m a junior.

Q; So you must be looking forward to your senior year, will you continue football next year?
A; That’s the plan.

Q; I know two years may seem far away, but do you know your plans after high school?
A; WSU College for football hopefully.

Q; Football players are known for there toughness and aggression, do you carry that with you off the field as well or do you have a soft side?
A; I only take my aggression off the field if I had a bad practice or am angry about something, otherwise I have a soft side.

Q; I can see football is a huge part of your life, but lets talk about something else. What is your favorite color?
A; Green.

Q; And your favorite food?
A; Pepperoni pizza.

Q; What about a favorite movie?
A; Super Bad definitely.

Q; Well thank you Andy for letting me interview you and letting others get to know more about you.
A; Anytime.
