Austin is a sophmore. He had a great game. Coverd DL Moore. Intercepted a pass towards the end of the game to end BG final offensive series. Great kid on and off the field like his dad. Not only does he have talent on his dad side but his moms side of the family has the talent going also. His uncle is John Bankemper who was a running back for the 1982 Highlands State championship team. That team was honored at the half of the Highlands /Bowling Green game. John also has a son Spencer Bankemper that is a sophmore for Highlands. He has been out this season with an injury but is getting back into the swing of things and has been working hard to get ready for the '08 season. It is going to be fun watching these cousins enjoy what looks to be a great future at Highlands.
