  • From the farm to the football field, Clinton High School senior Gabe Suthoff does it all. His days start early and end late. Gabe balances country life with school activities and his girlfriend Taylor. He excels in his afternoon auto class, enjoys taking his old motorcycle for a cruise in the evenings after football practice and stays busy being the All-American kid.

    Gabe has plans for the future. “I want to be a teacher, probably PE in middle or high school” he said. But, right now his focus is more immediate.

    Gabe is the kind of Senior that young Midwestern kids look up to – he is the idol. This weekend Clinton High plays rival Warrensburg High, Gabe says “this game is going to be huge.”
