HAVE NO FEAR: STEAR IS HERE!

/in /by

What happens when you blend a truck-loving, hunting, hard-working, country boy with great hands and incredible speed with a high-powered offense and a shutdown defense?

You get South Range Senior- Josh Stear.

While he’s quiet in his demeanor, Stear leads by example on the field.  He’s the guy who wants the ball when the game is on the line, and when you see 20 on the field, don’t blink.  If you do, he’s going to beat you for six points without a doubt.

Coming off a great rivalry game against the Rebels last Friday, Josh Stear sits down with DJ Yokley to talk business (he wants to open his own) and pleasure in this week’s South Range Player Profile: HAVE NO FEAR: STEAR IS HERE!
