The Jonathan Law football team has started the season with a record of 2-1, including wins against Lyman Hall and Xavier.

One of the biggest reasons behind those wins has been the play of junior running back Hunter Kendzierski. In Law’s 28-27 win over Xavier, Kendzierski scored all four touchdowns and kicked all four extra points in the game. 

“I’ve never had a better game in my football career,” Kendzierski said. “I was so excited and I couldn’t stop thinking about my performance the whole night and the rest of the week.”

At the beginning of the season, Law was left without a kicker. Kendzierski offered to step up and has led the team to success.

Kendzierski emphasizes that none of this could be possible without his offensive line – sophomores Ryan Woods and Zach Hyatt, juniors Eli Fernandez and Emelio Garcia, and Senior Captain Jack Lefevre. 

“My goals for the rest of the season are trying to get a trophy at the annual Thanksgiving day game against Foran, and possibly make All-State,” Kendzierski said.” If we keep working as hard as we are right now, I hope we will make the playoffs.”

Junior Quarterback Matthew Witteman describes Kendzierski as a good leader on and off the field.

“Playing with Hunter has been fun,” Witteman said. “It’s been great seeing him grow over the years we have played together.”

Kendzierski does not only play for himself – he also can be seen helping his teammates at practice and during games.

“Hunter is always supporting the whole team,” sophomore Dylan Gallaird said. “Also, he helps the freshmen and teaches them what to do during practice.”

After the football season, Kendzierski will turn his attention to the basketball court in the winter and the baseball field in the spring.
