Pierce High had former Husker and motivational speaker DeMoine Adams present at an assembly on Wednesday, April 19.
Adams is originally from Pine Bluff, Arkansas. He played for the Huskers for four years. Some of his accomplishments while at Nebraska included Nebraska Lifter of the Year, Honorable-Mention All-Big 12, Brook Berringer Citizenship Team, and Three-Time First-Team Academic All-Big 12. He is also a part of the Teammates Mentoring Program.
Adams spoke to the students about giving their “A-game” at everything they do. Adams told his story about his high school and college experiences and how he changed his old habits to help improve his grades so he could play football and achieve his dreams. He provided advice and encouragement for all students, but especially the juniors, who took the ACT following the assembly.
Pierce Kaycie Druyor said, “I think it made an impact on a lot of kids to focus on their education. It surely motivated me to focus on my education and to give it my all during school.”
