Rowdy Russell
Rowdy’s favorite high school memory is walking into Mr. Werges’ class with a missing assignment and the whole class cheering him on when he finally turned it in.
During his time at Crest Ridge, Rowdy played football and baseball during his sophomore and junior years.
He says Mr. Laws has made the biggest impact on him because he always encourages Rowdy to do his best and wants to see him succeed in the future.
Rowdy’s advice for younger Cougars is: Try your best in school and ALWAYS ask questions.
After graduation, he plans to attend State Tech in Linn, Missouri, and find a good-paying job.
In 10 years, Rowdy sees himself owning a house, covering all his bills comfortably, and having a solid career.
A fun fact about Rowdy is that he loves to skateboard.
His favorite quote is: “However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.” – Albert Einstein
