Q&A: Tyler Bing

Absegami High School junior Tyler Bing is an important part of the Braves' football team's offense this season.

Bing, a running back, scored a touchdown in Absegami's win over Vineland last week, and had a breakout performance against Atlantic City on Sept. 23.

Galloway Patch caught up with the talented player during the team's bye week.

Galloway Patch: What is your favorite part of football?

Bing: Running the ball is my favorite thing to do ever since I was young. I just love everything about the game really.

Galloway Patch: When did you know you had what it takes to be a running back?

Bing: I didn't really know until Pop Warner and I just watched myself develop.

Galloway Patch: What running back do you like to watch?

Bing: Back then it was Barry Sanders (of the Detroit Lions). Right now it's Chris Johnson (of the Tennessee Titans).

Galloway Patch: What do you do to get psyched up for a game?

Bing: My music gets me hyped, and knowing that the guys have my back and I got their back to get a W.

Galloway Patch: What music do you listen to?

Bing: Any kind of rap music really.

Galloway Patch: What's your favorite personal highlight so far?

Bing: I would have to say definitely the game against Atlantic City (236 total yards and two touchdowns).

Galloway Patch: What class is your favorite?

Bing: I have to say this year it is definitely chemistry.

Galloway Patch: Why chemistry?

Bing: I like working with different elements, compounds, explosions and things like that.

Galloway Patch: Who is your favorite teacher?

Bing: My biology teacher from last year (Kerry Flukey). She is a fun teacher but when it was time to get down to business we got down to business. But she is fun to be around.

Galloway Patch: What do you like to do away from the football field?

Bing: I'm always into different sports when I get a chance. I also like hanging out with friends.

Galloway Patch: What are you doing during the bye week?

Bing: This week we just have to keep working hard in practice and keep my body as rested as much as I can. I want to avoid injury and be ready for next week's game.

Galloway Patch: Are you going to take in a game Friday night?

Bing: If I can I will try to catch Millville at Ocean City. I will try to scout their defense out.

Galloway Patch: If you could write the script for this season, how does it end?

Bing: With a state championship for sure.
