ST. PAULS — The whole point of playing a game is to have fun.

As someone who plays more of them than just about any other high school athlete around, Theophilus Setzer does plenty of that.

“Being an all-around athlete, it’s just special that I’m able to compete in everything that I do,” the St. Pauls rising senior said. “I don’t play sports just to pass time, I enjoy playing sports. I feel like it helps me get through high school and have more fun in high school, just enjoying all the sports I play.”

After a junior year in which he not only played four sports but had a big impact in all of them, Setzer has been named as Robeson County All-Around Male Athlete of the Year by The Robesonian.

Setzer is most known for his football skills as the standout quarterback for the Bulldogs, but also starred in basketball, baseball and track; the latter as part of the 4×400 relay team that won the 2A state championship last month.
