Interview Hall of Fame for this High School Football Player

Apollos Hester, wide receiver for the East View Patriots, made the interview hall-of-fame Friday night after he delivered the most epic post-game interview to ever go down at a high school football game. I had the pleasure of talking to this ball of enthusiasm live on our high school football show on TWC News Austin. As you can tell, he was pretty fired up.
