"The Marquis take over"

      Marquis Modeste isn’t your average athlete.

      Starting off at the wide receiver and then switched back to running wasn't a tough transition for him. He knows no matter what happens he has to lead his team to a 10 week battle. Starting in the spring of 15' coming off a 2-7 season with only starting one game and now becoming the superstar of a young Brien McMahon football team. Marquis may have not been a captain or major leader since the beginning of the season but due to current events and injuries, his time has come and now his freshman year dream has came true. In his first game since #24 has been gone, he had his first and second touchdown falling to Stamford (18-20), but Marquis stated "might have lost but he's not stopping here the battle just began"

     Marquis is not just a one sport athlete. He's also the track anchor, using his speed in 2 different ways on the turf and on the track. Being a major part of the #2 track team in the state is says a lot about his work ethic and will to win. Marquis runs the 100m, 4by1, and the 200m sprint. Going into his final track season he's "excited and ready to go".
