Visit Us on Facebook Athlete of the Week 10 Questions with Jack McNulty Jack McNulty is a senior at Sandburg High School. He plays forward on the boys basketball team and hit the game-winning shot against Stagg earlier this year. How did you get started playing basketball? I live down the street from the Sportsplex, so I’ve just been walking there since I was, I’d say, 7 or 8. I started, actually, in fourth grade at my grammar school, St. Mike’s. I just fell in love with the game and kept on playing it since then. What is your proudest moment in basketball? That was probably when I hit the buzzer-beater against Stagg a couple weeks ago. That was a big rivalry game. I know a lot of kids that go to that school, and a lot of my friends on the team were beefing with their friends that go there, too, so we were all just arguing with the Stagg kids that whole week, basically, coming up to the game. What are your goals for this season? I want to make a deep playoff run. I think we could do something. I want to hopefully win conference, too. What will you work on before this season? A lot of endurance. I ran 3 miles a day, I swam a mile every morning, and in the morning I also do a lot of 22nd Century Media File Photo ball-handling, because I’m quick for my position. Not a lot of the big kids are quick; they’re just big. So, I try to utilize my ball-handling to get to the basket, to get around my big defenders. What do you like the most about basketball? I probably just love my atmosphere, love my team. Because whatever team I’ve been on — I’ve been on numerous teams — there’s always a family part, a team spirit, I guess, that just connects you to your teammates. Who is your favorite professional athlete? I’d probably go with Brian Scalabrine. He got laughed at and mocked. Even when he played for the Bulls, the whole stadium would roar when he gets onto the court, and he just took that as motivation. And not many people know he has [an] NBA ring. He’s a champion, and he’s really underrated. What is a perfect postgame meal? Chocolate chip pancakes with a side of bacon. Homemade. I make the best batch around. If you could choose a celebrity to referee your game, who would you choose? Kevin Hart would be funny. He would just make funny comments, I think, funny calls. Yeah, he knows the game a lot, but I feel like his character would just take over, and he’d get the whole gym laughing in an instant. What is your favorite subject in school? I love electromagnetic engineering. I just love the numbers, and the teacher’s really cool, and I have all my buddies in that class. ... I love math ... and I feel like a leader in that class. What is your dream job? Director of the FBI. You would know so many top government secretes, and you’d just get to execute orders whenever you want. You’re basically on top of the world.
