Myers Elementary third graders Chase Plummer is one of those classic throwbacks. Many kids today specialize on one sport, but Chase plays three sports and is  excellent at all three.

Chase, whose father Adam starred on B-A’s PIAA championship baseball team in 2003, started playing sports when he saw it on TV and thought it was fun.

Chase plays football, baseball, and basketball. For football, Chase plays quarterback and is number 2 for the South Side Vikings. For baseball, Chase plays pitcher and is number 11. And lastly, for basketball Chase plays wing and is number 32. He is currently in the Bellwood-Antis Elementary Program.

Chases favorite part about playing sports is going to different places and playing different teams. Chase is currently playing basketball.

Chase plans to become a Blue Devil in middle and high school playing the same sports he does now.
