What do you feel your team can improve on?

Q&A with Mars quarterback Eric Kasperowicz Jr.
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“The season has been great, I transferred to a new school over the summer and I’ve felt very welcomed throughout everything.”
Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“Not exactly, I have my moments but it’s like a roller coaster. One game I play well, complete passes and do what I can to help the team, and sometimes I don’t play very well so I just got to focus on staying consistent.”
How do you feel your team has played?
“I think my team has been playing well, especially coming off of a 2-8 season. Defense has been doing their thing all year and as for offense I think the O-Line, wide receivers and our running backs have been outstanding.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“I think a good thing to improve on is teamwork and playing together as one big family. When something bad happens [we] just pick each other up, learn from your mistakes and move on.”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“We all need to be in sync. If everyone does their own job and plays for each other I think it will be pretty good.”

Q&A with Loyalsock quarterback Tyler Gee
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“Our team has played a tough schedule so far, and our injuries have unfortunately piled up due to that.”

“I feel I could play better to put our team in better situations at times, but it’s still early. We have not yet reached our full offensive potential.”
How do you feel your team has played?
“I feel our team has been extremely tough, and our offensive line has been a huge key to our rushing and passing.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“Our team can always keep pushing to get better every week at practice in everything we do.”

Q&A with Manheim Township quarterback Hayden Johnson
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“Football has been great this year, very fun. It does suck losing two very close games. Could very well be 5-0 right now, but it’s how we bounce back, finish 8-2 and have a 1-0 mentality each week.”
Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“I don’t think me as a player and a team should settle for 3-2 right now. There’s been some highlights and great plays but we have to finish.”
How do you feel your team has played?
“Our team has played very well sometimes, and we also haven’t shown up. Our defense has been playing lights out these past few weeks, and our offense just needs to stay consistent and finish drives. Our line has greatly improved these past few weeks and we’ve gained some great depth at WR and RB.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“We can improve on staying consistent.”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“We have great chemistry, like I said before too, we just have to finish. We have to play the full 48 minutes of a game and just go out there and ball out.”
