Q&A with Quakertown running back John Eatherton
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“The season is almost over as we have one more game, but it started out rough and once we found out who we were and how to play together we started to pick things up. We ended the regular season 5-5 so can’t complain about that.”
Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“I feel like I could have played better. I had a setback before the camp of the season, which was getting surgery, and I think missing camp and the first couple games set me back physically. As the season went on, I feel like I have started to pick up where I left off from last year.”
How do you feel your team has played?
“I feel that for what we have had to replace, our team filled the shoes pretty well. There are obviously some rough spots but overall I am proud of the people who have stepped up and played the best they could.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“Something I think we can improve on would be mentality after a mistake. A lot of us get frustrated with ourselves and we need to remember that there is always another play.”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“A key for being successful is everybody staying focused on their assignments and playing as one. There have been some games during the season where it felt like there were missing pieces, but the games we won and even a couple losses, it felt that we were playing as one.”

Q&A with Carlisle wide receiver Carson Swartz
How has everything been going football wise as of late?
“Everything has been going well lately. We made the playoffs and have our first-round game tomorrow. I couldn’t be happier with how the team and I have performed towards the end of the season.”
Going forward, what do you feel your team can continue to improve on?
“We could definitely continue to just play as a team. When we play together, everything clicks and we are unstoppable. We have a great group of athletes and when we all do our part, we are a great football team.”
Have you been pleased with your performances?
“I have definitely been pleased with my personal performance from each game. I’m very involved in the offense and feel like I contribute a good amount to our successes on offense. 700 yards and 5 touchdowns is something that I am very proud of from this season.”
How do you feel about the play of your team?
“We’ve been playing well as a team lately. We’ve had our struggles like every team does but we got it together and pushed through it. Ever since, we’ve been playing good football as a team.”
What are your sporting goals going forward as of now?
“My goals are to make a good playoff run this season and then focus on my senior season. I hope to go play college ball and continue my football career.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?

Q&A with Archbishop Ryan quarterback Tommy Gontz
How did the high school football season go overall?
“My season went so and so, 6-5, but the future is bright. A lot of young guys stepped up and I can’t wait to see them grow, including myself.”
What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“Simply put, my only goal is to get better in some way every single day. Whether that’s watching film, lifting or working on mechanics, everyday make myself a better athlete in a minor way so come August there’s a major improvement.”
How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“As I said a lot of young guys stepped up last year and I think if they put in the work in the off season we could be a sleeper in 4A states, we were very close this year but I think Archbishop Ryan is a team to watch next year.”
What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“We haven’t [received] our schedule yet but I’m sure Neumann Goretti A and Bonner Prendi are going to be there and also be the toughest teams we line up against next year.”
Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“Jalil Hall stands 6’4 181 lbs and plays wide receiver/defensive end. He plays for Bonner Prendi and as a sophomore has the single season receiving touchdown record, he bailed them out of a lot of games this season.”
