East View High School Football player Apollos Hester gave an inspirational, uplifting interview after his team defeated Vandegrift by one point.
Hester told TWC News Austin reporter Lauren Mickler that he knew his team would be victorious because he truly believed.
“It’s an awesome feeling when you truly believe that you’re going to be successful,” he said. “And if it doesn’t pay off, you continue to give God the glory!”
So far the video garnered over 2 million views on YouTube.com.
If football doesn’t pan out, Hester has a career in the church pulpit.

I LOVED this video. Awesome spirit.
Saw this on the news this morning – this kid needs a job in journalism – he’s a pretty good orator…. I can see him taking Pinocchios place as a motivational speaker – you have potential!!!!

It is so good to see a youngin doing/saying something positive instead of all these “DO IT FOR THE VINE” yoes (young hoes)
Trust after sallie Mae letters and rejections of applications that will change lol.. I was positive in h.s. When all I had to do was play ball lol..now….fukk it..I quit
Awww he’s cute with his “Kanye West interview with Kris” voice.
Morning Yall!
I liked the end when the tv anchor gave him his props saying it should go down in the hall of fame or something as the best speech! He is a natural speaker at heart!
That must be a yt school. He got that yt country twang in his voice.
Jesus give me strength.
It’s cool but he is really saying one thing over and over in a really excited tone

I was phone posting. Am phone posting. Hiding out upstairs waiting on something

Unless they was a crack baby….
And before someone come for me my Diddy was narcotic abuser. Still might be. Ask him if you see him. I ain’t seen him since he rode off for some bread and milk in my mama car was I was in midda school 
In response to to the drug discussion I think:
I always thought the logic was that with murder you kill one person whereas with drugs you kill a lot of ppl, communities, economies, etc.
___________
I “get that” but forgive me for this logic but most people don’t asked to be killed or murdered. If they do then that’s called suicide… Unless you Kavorkien, Dr
These people doing drugs buying it and asking for it. I know I know they got an addiction. But they first asked for it
So you mean to tell me I got to go to jail cause I am a good salesman??
