āAfter my injury in the summer, I wasnāt too keen on going away for school anymore. I grew a strong relationship with the staff and coaches at MTA during my rehab process,ā Longpre says. āI felt right at home in my hometown. Some of the players showed me love through that difficult time, and it made me love the school.ā
He adds that, āIt was one of the only schools that was willing to give me a shot after this terrible injury, and I want give back by going to the Lonely Bowl, and I believe we can.ā
In terms of the coaching staff, Longpre says they arenāt merely coaches. āThey really embrace you as a player and make you feel apart of the whole atmosphere,ā he explains. āShout out to coach Colangelo. Heās my guy.ā
