NASHVILLE, TN - It's hard to believe Chris Applewhite is just 17.
The towering center back has a deep, booming voice and a handshake strong enough to make you wince. While he just signed his first professional contract a few weeks ago, he carries himself like a veteran.
"I know what my goals are," he told reporters after preseason training on Wednesday. "I know that with hard work, determination, and God, anything is possible."
