In a player-controlled poll, Lansing Lightning’s #10 Kameron Washington was voted as the PLAYER OF THE WEEK!

What made you want to play semi pro football?

I started playing semi pro because I have a lot of love for this game, it’s always been my favorite sport, and so my kids can see their dad still active in sports and to give them another reason to look up to me.

What’s your favorite moment of your career so far?

I’d have to say last year in the semi-finals against Glass City when I picked up the 1st down on 4th and 10 to keep our drive alive and finish out the game with the win.

Tell is your long-term football goal.

Honestly, to just keep playing and having fun with it, to hopefully play with some of my brothers and, of course, win a championship.

How do you prepare mentally for big games such as next week against the Wolves?

I just watch film of past games to see what their weaknesses are and think about how I can take advantage of them. I also see where I made my mistakes and work on not making those again so I can help my team get the win. | THIS is for YOU!
