What has your 1-2 RB punch meant to the team? I saw Ben put up some great numbers against Norwin last week. How has he progressed as a freshman? What makes Tasso such a quality running back.
Both guys are getting very comfortable with scheme and verbiage. Tasso is just a no-nonsense physical guy who can cut and has great vision and speed. His wrestling background gives him a great center of gravity.
Ben is doing very well. We have thrown a ton at him, especially for a freshman. He’s talented and tough. He’s just getting started.
How has your QB progressed as the season has gone along?
Jonny has really started to understand what we are trying to do. He was fantastic at Norwin, especially on 3rd down. He is getting better every week and the game is slowing down for him.
What is it like to play Gateway, since I imagine you know most of those kids. Plus, there’s always so much at stake in this game, including the bell.
Not fun. Its a huge conference game like every single year. They are our arch rival and everyone on both sides gets up for this game. We are looking forward to the challenge.
Who are some of the other key kids to watch out for?
Carmen Metcalfe, Nick Ponko and Jack Weishaar all have done great in the pass game for us. Paul Darragh, Dom Smith and Mason Newell will be key guys on defense.
How is your team healthwise?
We are a little banged up. Derek Carr (Starting FS and rotating QB) is out for the season with a knee.
Can you help me with starters?
