Last month, after East View High School made up a two-touchdown deficit to edge Vandegrift 42-41, wide receiver Apollos Hester delivered a masterful postgame interview that quickly went viral.
Nearing 8 million views on YouTube, the video garnered the attention of two separate ESPN segments on Hester’s over-the-top enthusiasm.
