ASHFORD – Hard work in the weight room and perseverance on and off of the football field well characterize Ashford High’s Devontrez Blake.
Those efforts paid off when he signed a scholarship on Wednesday morning to continue his athletic and academic career at LaGrange College.
“I want to thank God and my parents for motivating me to keep playing after I had that injury and was really down and in a dark place,” Blake said. “The first person to help me is God … I want to thank God for everything. Second is my mom. My mom helped me believe in myself, so she’s really my role model.”
“So when it really came down to it, we had enough energy to really fight through a game when we had to fight through a game.” “His class, in my opinion, is going to be the class that really kicked off what we’re going to change here at Ashford. The seniors in his group came in last summer and really worked hard.
