Q&A with Nazareth Area quarterback Peyton Falzone
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“I think the season has gone really well. We finished the regular season 9-1. We’ve had success on both sides of the ball and that’s super important as we move forward into playoffs.”
Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“I’m happy with my growth over the year but I know there are a lot things I can still work on and learn as we move forward into the postseason.”
How do you feel your team has played?
“I think the team has done a great job. The line up front has taken care of business and that’s a huge part of the game. The receivers have also done a great job, finding open space and making great plays. I’m lucky to be playing with such a talented group of teammates.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“I think the team needs to work on playing a complete game (start-finish) and limiting penalties. I feel like we have limited ourselves with the penalties we have committed this year. We are still looking for that perfect game.”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“Moving forward we need to continue getting the ball into our playmakers hands and maintain an even balance of pass to run. I think keeping the opposing defense honest allows our offense to make more explosive plays.”

Q&A with The Haverford School running back Matt Brosko
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“Football season was great, there’s no one else I’d rather be finishing out my high school career with than these guys so I’m grateful to be where I am.”
Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“Yes, there were some games where we struggled as a unit, but there are also games where most starters were on the bench by the fourth quarter. I know I gave it my all and that’s all I can do.”
How do you feel your team has played?
“As a unit we were not as cohesive as we have been in previous years, but graduating so many starting seniors was something we hadn’t faced and I think we are all better now because of that. That being said we all bought in and began playing for each other later in the year.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“I think the team will be stronger because of the adversity we faced this year with injuries and guys battling each other for starting spots.”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“We have to play for each other and buy into the ‘we not me’ mentality.”

Q&A with Leechburg tight end Jake Cummings

What do you feel your team can continue to improve on going forward?
“My team and myself definitely need to work on our speed and confidence on the field for next year.”
Have you been pleased with your performances?
“I didn't regret my performance this year, but there's always room to get better.”
How do you feel about the play of your team?
“I feel that this year we played more as a team than we did in the past years.”
What are your sporting goals going forward as of now?
“My goals as of now are to get stronger in the weight room while improving my speed as well.”
