By George Hernandez <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Whittier) – I sat down and talked with La Serna athlete Jordan Bonilla who came into the program as a quarterback and now plays all over the field for the Lancers. He is an all-leaguer in the Del Rio League and an all CIF running back and defensive back.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Bonilla was a part of the 2023 state championship run for La Serna and was the leading rusher and had 85 tackles and two interceptions as a junior this past season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What\u2019s up kid, how\u2019s it going?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Going good right now – just focusing on school and football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How does it feel to be recognized as one of the top returning players in the area?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: It feels great just knowing that my hard work is paying off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Your brother Anthony was a dude at El Rancho. Why did you choose La Serna?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: I chose La Serna because of the environment and the brotherhood they have. I also wanted to have my own legacy and make a name for myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Who do you model your game after?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: I model my game after my cousin Angel Diaz. I always went to his high school games and watched him play when I was young. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How would your teammates and coaches describe you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: My teammates would describe me as a hard worker and someone who puts the team first.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: You\u2019ve went from QB to playing all over the field. How difficult was that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: I have been playing all over the field since I was young and the coaches helped me also. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What is the biggest lesson you have learned from football so far? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: The biggest lesson I have learned from football is discipline and taking accountability. Also how to overcome adversity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How do you handle the pressure of playing in high-stakes games?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: I usually pray before games which helps me calm down. I also watch film and break down what the team’s favorite concepts are.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: I know you\u2019re only a junior but what are your goals for after high school? Do you want to keep playing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: I want to keep on playing football. Hopefully playing division 1 football and graduate at that program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Q: Anything else you would like to say or want us to know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Look out for Etoagwara Onyenegecha and Xavier Nunez. We lost them last year due to injury but they will have a great impact this season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
