Mikell Simpson ’s summer became much more relaxing yesterday, when he received his SAT scores. With the score he received, Simpson has now met NCAA qualification guidelines assuming he keeps up his grade point average.

“Everything’s going good,” Simpson said of his summer. “Yesterday I found out something that’s a big relief for me. I scored an 890 on the SAT. I have a 2.8 GPA, so I’ve qualified. I might take the SAT again after the season just to get better, but we’ll see.”

The 6-1, 185 pound star running back out of Harrisburg High School (PA) is now ready to roll for his senior season. As a junior last season, the versatile back rushed for 862 yards on 88 carries, caught 23 passes for 520 yards, and scored 21 touchdowns in total. Simpson is anxious for his team to build upon the 8-3 record of last season.

“Last year we really bounced back from a horrible year,” Simpson said. “The year before we went 1-9, but we got a new coach (George Chaump) and we went 8-3 last year. We went to Districts for the first time in a long time. We beat Cumberland Valley twice, and they were nationally ranked last year. This year, we’re coming in at number one and we’re ready to go.”
