He caught a 17-yard pass to set up a touchdown that put us up 10-0 at the half. Jeffrie also caught a crucial pass in the semi-final game. In his junior year just in one game, he had 174 yards rushing on 9 carries for two touchdowns.<br> Jeffrie was our ball boy as a kid. He's been around football a long time but I was hoping Jeffrie wouldn't play as a 9th grader. I thought he might get hurt or demoralized but he ended up as a starter on the varsity team. I've seen one-arm guys play defense but never a running back. But I found it didn't make any difference. No one took it easy on Jeffrie and he didn't take it easy on anyone. <br>Baseball presented it s own unique set of challenges. Jeffrie said,  I went to my doctor in Mobile and told him I was having trouble playing baseball. He went through some magazines and found a contraption with an  O ring. We attached it to the bat. Some modifications were made throughout the season; and years. Jeffrie became a starter on the baseball team. His dad preferred baseball because of the lack of contact.<br>Last year he batted .435 and hit two homeruns. Early in the season this year, Jeffrie was batting .370 with 13 runs scored and 12 RBI s. Clay Tew, head baseball coach at Southern Choctaw, got emotional.  Jeffrie started every game at left field all four years. I thought there was no way humanly possible. We are so blessed just to be around Jeffrie because of what he has done and how he has accepted it. No one has ever touched my life like Jeffrie. <br>Coach Boykin added another thought,  Another kid in our school broke his neck while another lost an eye. They used Jeffrie as a role model. hey both worked extra hard and both returned to sports.<br> Jeffrie has inspired even community members with disabilities. And as far as our State Championship team? - we've had better talent but not another team with so much determination and dedication. <br>Jeffrie is also a good student. He is always in school, always on time to class and with his assignments and tries to turn in quality work for his assignments. He places a premium on his total educational experience. Jeffrie plans on going to college with or without sports.  You just have to have an education, he explained.<br>Jeffrie believes he has to workout like everyone else. Just being around his teammates was all Jeffrie needed.  I worked on my legs at first. When I tried to Bench it hurt but eventually my arm toughened up and now the hook I use doesn't bother me at all. As far as the Power Clean, I just had to figure out a way."<br>Drugs, alcohol and tobacco have never been a part of Jeffrie's life.  No one has ever asked me to take drugs, said Jeffrie thankfully.  So I've never touched them. I don't chew and I have never tried a cigarette.<br> I wouldn't care to get drunk. The punishment and embarrassment would be to severe. I've never had one bottleof beer, he continued looking me straight in the eye.  You can have fun without drinking. <br>Coach Jeffrie Bonner, Choctaw's strength coach and assistant football coach said,  The kids here spend a lot of their spare time training with weights. They don't have time to do negative thins. <br>Jeffrie gave these final comments on his success,  Never give up and keep your faith in God. Keep close to your family and people who truly care for you. <br>At the assembly where I spoke to honor Jeffrie, I couldn't help bu give Jeffrie a hug and whispered,  On a scale of one to ten Jeffrie, you're an eleven. I know each coach and athlete who reads this w
