Opponent: Riverdale
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“The season has been going great, but we as a team know we can play better and improve.”
Who is your next opponent? What are your thoughts on them overall?
“We have our bye week then is Dale (Riverdale) week. From what my teammates have told me, there is a rivalry between us and Dale so I’m definitely looking forward for this game.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“The team can always improve. If we didn’t, then we wouldn’t be going 100% every practice. Some of the things I think I need to improve on is making sure all my QBs don’t have to wash their jerseys.”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“I think some of things that can make this team better is making sure we’re all going 110% every practice so when go on the field against a team with different color jerseys than us, it can be a lot easier for us getting the W.”
What are your goals for the rest of the season?
“The team’s goal is simple; win. It doesn’t matter if we win by a field goal or even by 64 points. Our goal each and every day is to make sure we play to our best of our God given talents and win every game.”
