"I’d be the linebacker because I love to hit things." – Ellie Slack (Jordan Math Teacher)

"I’d definitely be the quarterback. Everybody loves the quarterback." – Emily Hamilton (freshman)

"I’d like to be the quarterback coach. There’s a lot of talent there, and I don’t think I’d screw it up that bad." – Scott Laurence (principal)

"I’d say half back. You get a lot of playing time and score most of the touchdowns." – John Mitchell (freshman)

"I’d be the running back, because then, I’d get all the attention." – Amir Shahhosseini (senior)

"I’d be a paramedic." – Malaika Drebin (Jordan 8th grader)
