William Saylor, 15, has been a Decatur County resident for about eight years.

Saylor lives in a full house with his mother, Lisa Davis, step-father, Kevin Davis, siblings Cyndi Davis, Andrea Davis, Robert Saylor and John Saylor, and nephew Ray Harman. He also has an older brother and sister Eddie and Laural Saylor.

Dinner and TV time can be crowded affairs full of elbows and fights for space, Saylor said. Living in a home so full can have its moments.

“Home is wild and scary, but in a good way,” Saylor said with a laugh.

Saylor is in the eighth grade at North Decatur. He plays for the junior high football team. He plays tackle, wide receiver, and back-up quarterback and wears his lucky number 27 jersey, the same number he had last year. When he’s done roughing up the competition on the grid iron, he said he’ll pick up something that requires a little less contact. He plans on playing junior high golf in the spring.

His favorite school subject is science because “it’s easy.” His least favorite subject is English, “obviously because it’s hard.” He likes eating lunch with his friends, Jonah Clark, Jake Keihn and Eric Boyce.

Saylor enjoys playing guitar in his free time. His often picks one of his favorite songs to strum, such as “Get Back” by the Beatles and “Country Boy Can Survive” by Hank Williams Jr.

Before school, Saylor gets his day started lifting weights in his garage before school around 5:30 a.m. His favorite food is spaghetti tacos, which is a personal creation of spaghetti in a taco shell.

When asked about any funny childhood memories, Saylor gave an inimitable response.

“I used to think there was a monster in the bottom of my cup. The reflection of myself looked like a monster, but it was just me,” Saylor said.
