LBF Football Player earns Academic All-State Award

As mentioned earlier this week, Vikings football player Dominick Juen was named to the 2024 Individual Academic Allstate Football Team. The recognition by the Minnesota State Football Coaches Association recognizes players with outstanding football ability plus academic excellence. Juen, a senior lineman, was selected for the 9-man team, and he is among only 13 players on the elite team. I spoke with the kid and asked him how he heard the news.

Then how he was feeling after the news.

He was then asked how he balanced football with school.

Did it help for accountability that his dad was a coach on the team?

Dominick then shares some words of encouragement to the underclassmen.

He was also asked if he ever found it hard to focus with so much to juggle.

Finally, he shares his own plans for after high school.

In fact, the whole team had been recognized for their academic excellence. The LBF Vikings Football team made Academic All-State Gold for 9-Man, they had accumulated a team GPA of 3.37.
