Nobody in the district put on a show quite like Plant City quarterback Landon Galloway did in last week’s 41-14 win over Strawberry Crest. The senior got things started with a 30-yard touchdown run and then threw for four more, on 13-of-16 passing. It was a like watching a game of Madden, but in real life.
What were you feeling in that game? You were on fire.
I don’t know. I was just in the zone, I was focused all week.
You’re going to UCF next fall with Sedrick King. Is anybody else going with you two?
I’m not sure. We’re hoping Montel (McBride), but I doubt that’ll happen. You can’t turn down an offer like Alabama.
What’s it like, knowing that you’re going to college with a friend?
It’s definitely nice. He’s been my best friend since, like, sophomore year, so it’s always nice to have a familiar face around. And we can spend some more time together.
What do you like to do outside of football?
I’m into music, big time. I like to play the guitar. And I paint and stuff like that. Artsy stuff.
What music do you play?
I like classic rock. Old-school, like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and stuff like that.
What kind of guitar do you have?
A Martin acoustic. No electric at all.
What kind of painting do you do?
Scenic paintings, like trees and landscapes and stuff.
You’re no stranger to the media. What have you never told a reporter that you don’t mind sharing now?
That I live with my aunt and uncle. I was adopted by my aunt and uncle and moved to Plant City when I was 7 years old. It’s been great. I’ve been blessed with a great home — going from an unsteady one to a happy, healthy place. Definitely a nice change.
