Parkers Prairie senior Steven Becker participated in football and track and field for the Panthers.  His post high school plans are to attend M State – Fergus Falls and play football for the Spartans.  He is going to pursue a major in Physical Education and a minor in Sports Management while in college.

“Being involved in sports has made me become more of a team player and to be able to play it made me focus on my school work,” said Becker.  “This spring I have been working out and focusing on the strength I need and the grades I need to be successful when I get to college.”

“I was able to coach Steven in football and track and field,” said Coach Michael Johnson. “Steven had a big impact on both programs. In football, Steven was an athletic player who competed and played hard for us at multiple positions. As a track coach, I observed Steven constantly work on improving. Steven improved year after year and always set his goals high. Steven wanted to set his personal record in every event at every meet. Steven took on more of a leadership role this last year and we had high hopes for him this spring as a leader and athlete. Steven is going to M-State Fergus Falls to continue his education and to play for the football field. I believe they are going to be getting a competitor and a young man who is willing to help out his team in whatever ways he can.”

Becker’s advice to the underclassmen is, “Don’t take life for granted because as we found out this spring you never know how much time you really have to enjoy an experience.”
