SPEEDWAY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

Today, we are honoring Damola Ajani, a senior student-athlete representing the football program at Speedway. Damola has enjoyed quite a successful run as a Sparkplug and the future is glowing for this talented young man. Recognized as the most valuable offensive lineman last year and honored as an All-ICC player in the talent-rich Indiana Crossroads Conference, Damola committed over the summer to play football and attend Indiana University next fall. Playing football at Speedway has meant much to Damola. “The relationship you build with teammates, playing the game you love with friends, the physicality …” is what is special to Damola. “Ryan Buster has pushed me to be the best I can be and he made me realize the good things I can do for my family with football.” "Damola is easily one of the most talented players we have had here in a long time," said varsity football coach Shane Clampitt. "What separates him from other great players is that he is as humble, and as nice of a person as you could ever be around. We are looking forward to seeing him play at IU and represent his family and this community in a great way." The son of Adeola Ajani has a brother (Fawaz) and a sister (Aminat).
