We had the opportunity to interview Johrone Bunch, here is what he had to say:
What is your favorite memory of your high school football or basketball career?
My favorite memory in high school was playing in the championship game vs New Canaan high school. We ended up losing the game, but I had an outstanding year. I won the basketball state championship my senior year after we lost the championship game my junior year.
In high school, were there any Division 1 programs recruiting you for either football or basketball?
In football I had Uconn, Temple, Virginia, Syracuse, Michigan, Michigan State and Umass looking at me.
What made you decide that Mount Ida was the right school for you?
Well my S.A.T and A.C.T weren't that high and I didn't get the score I really wanted. I couldn't get in any D1 school because of my score. Mount Ida accepted me after my visit there.
You rushed for 146.64 yards per game, the 3rd highest average in Division 3 football. These are unbelievable stats; Is there any aspect of yourself as a player that you'd like to improve on?
I want to improve on becoming a leader and I'd also like to get bigger for the next season. I really haven't reached my physical capacity yet.
Even though you are a sophomore, have you thought of pursuing either football or basketball as a career after college?
Yes, I hope one day I will get the opportunity to make it to the pros.
