Q&A with Woodward-Granger wide receiver Maximus Dalton​


Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I would like to play football in college.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“Like I said, honestly I haven’t really gotten any looks yet from any colleges.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I haven’t really made any trips yet to any colleges.”

Not the best there but definitely not the worst.”

Do you have any plans for camps ahead?
“I have a team camp at Grand View which is my only camp planned for the future. I hope that I can get potentially noticed maybe this time around.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My favorite college was of course the IOWA Hawks. I still dream of making a way to get there someday. Praying even an opportunity from a little school pops up. Then hopefully build my way up. I trust in God’s process that something good will happen. I just have to keep going.”

Q&A with Valley running back Damon Head
What have you been doing as of late with off-season workouts?
“Working on speed and agility and building flexibility.”

What do you feel you have improved on most this off-season?
“Vision and comfortably being able to understand the defensive side of the ball so I can make plays on the offensive side of the ball. I learned the key to a great running back is that you do what you’re good at and that’s what makes you great.”

How do you feel your team will do this football season?
“I feel we have one of the best teams in the state of Iowa but in order to live up to that, we have to build our foundation around leadership and holding each other accountable. If we accomplish that goal of ours, we will do great this season.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Dowling Catholic High School.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“CJ Phillip.”

Q&A with Woodward-Granger wide receiver Maximus Dalton
What have you been doing as of late with off-season workouts?
“I do around 2 workouts every day. Every day I have to lift in the morning at 6:00 AM. Twice a week we condition. After that I head to work construction. Towards the end of the day after work I train for Ryan Smith, Alex Kirton, DVario Montgomery, and Xavier Williams at Innovative Athletic Performance. I go there 3 days a week, and train for wrestling on the other days.”

What do you feel you have improved on most this off-season?
“This off-season I think I have really improved on my footwork, speed, quickness, and agility. I think that my coordination in my feet have improved and can give a decent release. I also think I have improved on defense, as in I have learned cover 2 as a strong safety, and I think I can guard someone a little better. I think I get a lot of good exposure when I work out with kids from bigger schools while training with Ryan Smith, and having workouts with a bunch of kids from different schools. So I think I learn a lot from that.”

How do you feel your team will do this football season?
“I believe that the WG football team will be solid this year. We lost a lot of seniors last year. A lot of key parts to our team. Although I believe with the leadership we have now, and the hard working athletes we have, the great coaches, I think we will be pretty solid.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“I think without a doubt South Hamilton will be our toughest game. They have a strong front line and some good running backs and a good defense. We have gone 1-1 in the past two years, and are in their district once again. But I’m ready and excited because it will potentially be the district championship for the 2nd year in a row!!”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“Honestly our toughest opponents are going to be the south Hamilton RB’s. There are 3 RBs with 700+ rushing yards. As well as 3 more RBs with 300+ yards. So we are going to have to stop all 6 guys if we want to win. Noah Gunderson, Nick Severseike, and Landon Skartvedt, are the core runners to that team.”

The Hunter Biden whistleblower is a gay democrat

"Ziegler is expected to testify that Hunter Biden "should have been charged with a tax felony, and not only the tax misdemeanor charge," and that communications and text messages reviewed by investigators "may be a contradiction to what President Biden was saying about not being involved in Hunter’s oversea business dealings."

Ziegler is also expected to testify on several instances in which prosecutors "did not follow the ordinary process, slow-walked the investigation, and put in place unnecessary approvals and roadblocks from effectively and efficiently investigating the case," including prosecutors blocking questioning and interviewing of Hunter Biden’s adult children.

Ziegler is also expected to ask Congress and the Biden administration to "consider a special counsel" for the Hunter Biden investigation and "all the related cases and spin-off investigations that have come forward from this investigation."

He is expected to testify that Congress should consider "establishing an official channel for Federal investigators to pull the emergency cord and raise the issue of the appointment of a special counsel for consideration by your senior officials."

Pops, the InterStim X did not work for me. Most painful two weeks hooked up temporarily. The last day I

had to self-catheterize 11 times. Took it off last Wednesday and still not recovered. I don't think it's meant for someone in third phase kidney failure and taking 40mg Lasix. Only passed 25ml urine right after the surgery and no more in two weeks..

God bless my wife as she got very little sleep. My Yorkie would follow me into the bathroom and when it got too painful I'd call my wife and he'd run down the hallway barking until she came to help me. I cursed that deviled device and was happy to get rid of it. I know my crotch is.

I am tied back to the bag...Oh Well, I tried...
