Cabrini Monarch Senior athlete Damien King loves his sports. He is looking forward to this year.
King plays football and track. “In football I play linebacker and full back and in track I run the 200 and throw shot put,” King said.
 
He said last year they had big moments in football: “Big moments were making the playoffs then winning the first round against Detroit Community,” he said. “I’m excited to lead alongside my friends and classmates.”
 
His favorite teacher was Ms. Hastings and his favorite class was history. His favorite coach is coach Mike and his favorite sport is football.
 
“The goal this season is to be champions, nothing less,” he added. “Big games are homecoming against Liggett, playing GR at Ford Field, and Lutheran North.”
“I have multiple ideas for what I want to do in the future, but no set plan yet,” he said. “I’m not completely sure what career I want at this time.”
 
His dad, Christopher King, graduated from Cabrini and played under Coach O also,” he said. “My mom graduated from Kennedy High School.”
 
His hobbies are football and being with friends and family
 
His advice comes from experience: “My advice to underclassmen is do not be afraid to take your shot and compete for your position,” he said.
