Do you look forward to next football season?
I do. I am looking forward to winning another State Championship for MHS.
Do you feel pressure to be successful?
There’s a little bit of pressure, but we'll have a good team returning next year, and we'll be alright.
How do you plan to step up as the new quarterback?
I'm going to have to step up and lead the teams to victories next year. The season is going to be on my back as a quarterback...so I’m really going to have to step up.
As a new quarterback do you feel you will have good team chemistry?
I do, I have been playing with some of these kids since first grade, and the years of playing together has really helped us on the field.
What steps would need to be taken in order to win a state title 3 years in a row?
The main things we have to focus on is working hard and really hitting the weight room and building more team chemistry in the program.
Are there any teams you feel pose a threat next year?
Definitely Brighton, we will most likely see them in the playoffs. Also Cohasset gives us trouble each year no matter how good or bad they are. Abington is also a game to be aware of, they are always a big rival.
Do you think it is possible to have a perfect season next year?
Yes, with our offensive line returning and the running back we have coming back, I think we'll be set up for success. We are losing a couple key players this year but I believe we can fill their roles.
As a senior next year is there anything you want to tell younger or new members of the team?
That hard work pays off, and if you get into the weight room early it is only going to benefit you as a player.
What do you plan on doing after high school?
I plan on going to a four year college. It is definitely a possibility that I may play football in college. But overall I'm not sure yet, where I want to go or if I'm going to play football.
