Football came first. Anthony has played the game since he was 8 years old, and he and his fellow seniors led Tylertown to a 12-1 record in 2021
Anthony was a high jumper at first, but an injury to a teammate prompted move Anthony to sprint events. It didn’t take long to see his potential.
Anthony’s first high school win came at the Southern Miss Invitational in March 2020, right before the pandemic shuttered the season. He returned from the stoppage (and a football season at Parklane) and excelled in 2021, winning 3A state championships with a 10.30 and 21.11 last May. He then bested himself at the Nike Outdoor Nationals in Eugene, Oregon, winning the 100 meters in 10.21 and finishing runner-up with 20.57 in the 200m.
