Daily News | Northeast’s Naquil Betrand leads the Vikings against St. Joseph’s Prep for the 6A city title
Betrand, now a 6-foot-6, 325-pound senior offensive lineman at Northeast High School, didn’t just put on weight. It’s as if he added another person to his frame.
“To be the best, you have to beat the best,” Betrand said Tuesday before practice. “And to beat the best, you have to beat the Prep.”The Hawks’ only loss this season came against Florida’s St. Thomas Aquinas, 48-37, in the season opener. Last week, the Prep claimed its seventh consecutive Catholic League crown, 21-13, against La Salle College High School.
In his smaller days, Betrand played guard in basketball. Former Roman Catholic basketball player Allen Betrand, now a senior guard at Rider University, is Betrand’s cousin. He added: “We had nothing else to do. The first four months of COVID there was no going outside. You had to stay in the house. My grandma would order food online and they would bring it to the house. I would just eat, play games, watch TV, and just chill.”
