Anthony Gagliano-#30
Senior-Defensive Back
"We play as a unit, 11 different guys, 11 different positions, all working together to achieve the same goal...Win. HTD. FSU. WMD. BTH. It's what we do."
Q: Who has been your biggest inspiration and why?
A: Other than my parents, I'd have to say Matt Partridge, Chad Phillips, Coach Partridge, and the rest of my HTD FAMILY. Everyday, no matter how hot or how tired we may be they're always there pushing me and making me better.
Q: What do you think it is about Hewitt that makes football season such a special time?
A: Definitely the fans! We have the best student section in the state no doubt, and there's just nothing that compares to the atmosphere of a Friday night at Jack Wood. I get chills every time I think about it.
Q: What do you look most forward to during the season?
A: That indescribable feeling I get when I'm on the field with 10 of my closest brothers working together as a unit to achieve the same goal in front of 10,000 fans screaming to the top of their lungs and bands playing on both sides of the field.
Q: What do you do as a hobby or other than football?
A: I love hanging out with my friends playing xbox or just chillin', I love to be around my friends, they mean the world to me...and I guess I like to hang with my girl every now and then too...
Q: If you could be known for one thing what would it be?
A: I want to be known for bringing the freakin' hammer!
Q: What's your favorite quote?
A: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified or afraid because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." I love this verse, because not only is it inspirational to an athlete, it helps me in my life knowing that no matter what I may face, my God is with me.
Q: What motivates you on gameday?
A: Coach P's speeches are definitely a big motivation, then just the whole process of getting ready in the locker room with my boys.
Q: If you were to have another position on the football team, what would you want it to be?A: I would want to be the Noseguard... got to stay on the defensive side, and I don't know why, but Battles, you just make it look so stinkin' fun!
Q: What memory will you never forget from being on this team?
A: Oh man.. all of them, there's nothing like the memories I have made with these guys, but here are just a few of my favorites: tackle circuit in Academy, Neighborhood, and I'll never forget and I will do everything in my power to never let this happen again, that feeling I felt as the clock hit "0:00" on the night we lost to Clay in the playoffs last season.
Q: If you could say one thing to all of the fans, what would it be?
A: Thanks for being the BEST fan base in the state, keep it up and be louder, more obnoxious, and crazier than ever, I know you won't disappoint! Thank you. MUSH!
