Holy Redeemer struggles to move ball in loss to Susquehanna

<p><em>Senior Janssen Wilborn is a three-sport athlete at Meyers. He was third in the 300-meter hurdles in the District 2 Class 2A meet and qualified for the state meet. He is in his second year as the starting quarterback for the Mohawks. He ran for a touchdown and returned a punt for a touchdown in a 30-23 season-opening loss to Lake-Lehman. He was a reserve on the school&#8217;s basketball team last season.</em></p><p>1. I&#8217;m actually named after my father. His name is Janssen Wilborn, so Janssen Wilborn II. I don&#8217;t really know where they got (the first name) from.</p><p>2. If I played baseball, I think I&#8217;d be a good outfield. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;d be able to hit the ball. I always wanted to (play Little League), but my mom never signed me up.</p><p>3. My biggest fear is drowning or being struck by lightning. I&#8217;m not usually afraid of things I can handle. Like spiders, you can handle. Bugs, you can handle. But you can&#8217;t handle lightning. What do you do about that?</p><p>4. I can snap all of my fingers (at once) and I can move my (right) ear.</p><p>5. I always wanted to juggle. I can try, but it looks awful.</p><p>6. The first time I played football I think I was 7-years-old for the Mini-Mohawks&#8217; D-team and I was a center. My birthday is at an awkward point, so I was too young to be with the older group, but I was older than everyone on the younger group. I was a little bit bigger than everyone else, so I was number 91 and a center for my first game and scrimmage.</p><p>7. I ran track ever since I was in seventh grade. We always had a bunch of fast sprinters, so one day Coach T &#8211; Coach Tabron, he doesn&#8217;t coach for us anymore &#8211; he said we can&#8217;t have all these sprinters and who wants to hurdle. I was a little taller than everyone else, so the decided to make me a hurdler because I had longer legs.</p><p>8. I want to be a physical therapist and I want to open my own practice.</p><p>9. <strong>Favorite food?</strong> Definitely tacos because there are so many types of tacos. If you could only have one kind of food for the rest of your life and it was tacos, you can have fish tacos or shrimp tacos or like regular tacos or taco salad. Tacos are versatile.</p><p>10. I played basketball seventh through ninth grade. I didn&#8217;t play tenth grade, but I played last year. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m going to play this year. I might be doing winter track.</p><p style="text-align: right;"><em>&#8212; Written for timesleader.com</em></p><style>
