Time Out with Ray Sisemore (1977 Vintage graduate)

Vince D’Adamo: What did you enjoy most about competing in athletics throughout your life?

Ray Sisemore: The camaraderie of my teammates

D’Adamo: What were the biggest football and life lessons you learned from coach Burl Autry?

Sisemore: If you work hard someone will notice and give you an opportunity.

D’Adamo: What was your favorite class at Vintage High?

Sisemore: Gym and Gourmet Cooking

D’Adamo: What was your favorite athletic moment at Vintage High?

Sisemore: Beating Napa HS 62-0 and catching my one and only touchdown in Memorial Stadium from Craig Landis.

D’Adamo: How much has coaching youth football allowed you to stay connected to athletics?

Sisemore: I feel much younger than I am by being around our youth and participating in their lives

D’Adamo: How much do you feel you have grown personally since graduating from high school and how much of that do you trace to athletics?

Sisemore: I am more of a team player today and that is a direct result of Athletics

D’Adamo: Within your family, who have been the most influential people?

Sisemore: My mother for sure. She was deaf and mute. I saw her struggles and how faith gave her some peace in life also my brother, John, who is a Vietnam Vet who came to all my high school football games and encouraged me to succeed.

D’Adamo: Name a historical figure, dead or alive, in or out of sports you would most like to meet.
Sisemore: Joe Montana.
