While the girls' softball team was wrapping up their non-conference win over visiting Westville a week ago this past Tuesday, the Sentinel caught up with three-sport Rocket athlete Tyler Hensch. The junior, who also plays football and basketball, was on the mound for his team's opening game against Hoopeston Area. He pitched five innings for Unity, giving up one hit and one run while striking out seven batters.
We fired six random questions at him and here's how he responded.
Sentinel: What is your dream job?Hensch: A pilot for the Navy.
Sentinel: Name three people you would spend a month long vacation with?
Hensch: Mariano Rivera, Jeff Bezos, and Derek Jeter.
Sentinel: What movie or TV show best describes your life right now?
Hensch: Friends.
Sentinel: Name one thing you learned about yourself during the pandemic?
Hensch: "Work ethic is everything".
Sentinel: You just inherited a million dollars. What would you would buy first?
