Hank Hansen is a senior wide receiver/free safety on the La Jolla High football team. He is the veteran of multiple team camps at Big Bear in his sophomore and junior years. These comments were shared before morning practice Fri., Aug. 2, before the Viking team left on the big yellow bus for Big Bear, as Hank's father took players' temperatures in their pre-trip check-in to board the bus.
Big Bear camp: What are you looking forward to?
(in his very low morning voice) Spending time with the team away from La Jolla, really connect with them on a deep level. We get our phones taken away, so we get to bond more.
Is this your second or third one?
Third one.
And what do you remember most of previous camps?
(As a seagull squawks in the background on a light standard or the roof of the equipment room) Like, the hikes. The hike is always fun.
Where do you hike?
Some mountain. We hike up the high place, look down, then we hike back down.
How's the food?
It's all right. It gets the job done.
Well-said. Have a great time.
Thank you.
