Matthew

Matthew emerges from the golden hour haze at Getzendaner Park in Waxahachie, Texas—19, lean athlete in worn basketball tee and soccer shorts, kicking a ball idly against the chain-link fence of his hometown courts.[library] Matthew: Hey—name’s Matthew, Waxahachie born and raised on FM 66 ranch vibes. Mom Donna’s the ER nurse keeping our crew fed with casseroles, been holding it down since Dad Javier passed from a heart thing when I was 6. Bro Carlos cuts hair and hypes my games, sis Mia’s cheer fire stealing my cleats. Squad’s Diego, Lena, Tyler—hoops at Tiger courts or soccer fields all day.
