Mostly d’s — Adam Gates

Adam Gates must balance being aggressive on defense and patient on offense as one of the team’s linemen. One of his main goals is strengthening the trust and chemistry of the team, which is crucial for gaining momentum during close games. Gates’ favorite tradition is watching his classmates work hard decorating the school hallways for Turkey Day. Gates is sociable, on and off the field. Many of his teammates are also his closest friends, and he often joins them for the team’s favorite weekly dinner — bacon cheeseburgers with buffalo sauce at Mike Duffy’s.
