Starting quarterback and linebacker for the Argonia Titans, Xander Newberry has certainly left his mark on the football program. Last year Newberry was named to the 1st Team All-District as a quarterback and was 2nd Team All-District at linebacker. The honors have been rolling in and Newberry is thankful he has the opportunity to play the sport he loves with the teammates he loves.

“The biggest thing I love about my teammates is the fact that we build off each other and always helping each other out. The team we have can be special if we keep having the drive and work ethic to be better every day,” said Newberry.

Coach McFann said Newberry is an athletic quarterback who can hurt you on the ground and in the air. A student of the game, coach McFann said Newberry watches more film than anyone on the team. As a defensive player, Newberry plays well in space and in coverage according to the coaching staff. Coming into this season the excitement was high, but Newberry admits he’s not looking forward to it ending.

“In all reality, I’m actually bummed it’s my last year playing high school football. But I am excited to see what kind of run we can make, as our coaches have done a great job pushing and building this team,” said Newberry. “It’s an honor that these great group of guys look at me as being a leader and it pushes me to work even harder to continue the tradition the previous Titans have started.”
