“We all have to improve if we want to achieve our goals for this season. We need to start games stronger and clean up mental mistakes. We haven’t been perfect in anything, so we have to work on everything.”

Q&A with Hughesville linebacker Mikey Dylina
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“It has been alright, we’ve been in some close games. And I’ve seen some improvement out of my team!!”
Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“I started off really well, my first carry was a 70 yard touchdown run. Unfortunately I fractured my foot and haven't played as much as I’d like. “
How do you feel your team has played?
“I feel my team has played better than most have expected. And we are improving every week, every practice! We just have to climb that little hill and finish out some of our games the way we started and we will be pulling in wins!!”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“Don’t get too low with the lows and don’t get too high with the highs. Every team will have some adversity and you’ll have to fight through it!!”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“Pass rush. I believe we have some of the best pass rushers in the area and our secondary is a solid group of guys. We’ve had roughly 7 sacks going into this week and 5 interceptions. If our pass rush gets to the QB and makes him throw a bad ball our DB’s have a chance to make a play. I feel as they go hand and hand.”
