You guys are off to a great start. What has been the key?
The players did a heck of a job this offseason getting their bodies equipped to play a high level of football. Their dedication in the offseason has really helped us with our start this year. This senior group has been terrific with the way they have handled themselves learning all 3 phases of the game and implementing on game days.
What will it take to have continued success this season?.
Keep playing our type of football which is fast paced and physical. We have to stay disciplined and focus on what we do rather than our opponents.
Jake Phillips had an incredible game last week. What makes him such a special quarterback?
Jake is a very intelligent young man on and off the field. Being able to dissect opposing defenses I believe has helped him tremendously. He also is very athletic and can create plays with his legs which makes him very difficult to defend.
You have a tough test this week against the defending WPIAL and PIAA champions. What makes PT so good and what kind of challenges does a QB like Greene pose?
Penn Trafford is a very well coached, disciplined football team that plays extremely hard each week. Any time you play a PT team you know you have to play all 4 quarters and eliminate as many mistakes as possible because they will capitalize. It is going to be a very hard test for our football team. Greene is one of the most athletic football players I have seen in some time. His size and athletic ability to very hard to match
What are your thoughts on the conference?
I believe this conference is one of the best in the WPIAL. Each team involved has the chance to win any given Friday.
How is the team health wise?
We are a fairly healthy team with some guys banged up a little with only one player out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. I couldn’t be more pleases about our health as a whole and it is mainly because the dedication of our strength and conditioning coach Tyler Zimmer
Can you give me any help with the starting lineup?
That was quite a win Friday. What does it say about the resiliency of your team that you were able to pull off that win?
I think our kids showed a lot of character. We played a pretty good game just didn’t finish drives. Belle Vernon us a very good team. It was a great win.
How is the team health wise?
we are good to go.
