The large person anchoring the Lakota West offensive line this season
was 6'6", 300 lb. All-American Tegra Tshabola who will be taking his
game to Columbus next season to play for the Ohio State Buckeyes. He
helped lead last season's Firebird team to a 6-0 record in conference
play and a GMC championship. This season, the team went 7-0 in
conference play and won a second straight GMC title, then beat West
Clermont, Milford and St. Xavier in the first three rounds of the state
playoffs before losing to Moeller in the regional finals to go 11-2 on
the season.
One of the best offensive linemen in the USA in the class of '22. Tegra
started every varsity game since his freshman year for the Firebirds and
has earned numerous awards, including being named first team all-GMC,
first team all-city, first team all-Southwest Ohio District and first
team all-Ohio. He has committed to play in the 2022 All-American Bowl in
January at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio, televised on NBC. In the
spring of 2021, he also participated in the invitation-only Under Armour
All-American Camp in Columbus and was selected to play in the first-ever
MLK All-Star Classic in January in Las Vegas.
"Tegra's athletic," says Coach Tom Bolden. "He spends his time refining
his craft day in and day out. He's becoming a complete ball player by
learning the ropes of all the O Line positions. He's using his skill
set, not just his size to play the game."
A team captain, Tegra is a good student who is active in community
service. He also threw the discus and shot put for the track & field
team, finishing as district runner-up in the shot. He also played a
couple years of basketball for the Firebirds.
His family moved to West Chester Township more than a dozen years ago
from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where French is spoken. French is
his first language.
His favorite athlete is Bo Jackson, favorite book is Oh, the Places
You'll Go, favorite movie is Star Wars and most-like-to-meet is LeBron
James.
COACH'S QUOTE – "Tegra is a gentle giant. Very quiet in school,
but a monster on the field. He loves kids and will make a great
coach."
— Tom Bolden, Varsity Football Coach.
