How did the high school football season go overall?
“Overall, my football season certainly had its ups and downs, but overall it went very well. We overcame a lot of adversity and injuries throughout the season and made it all the way to the District 1 Championship. I’m really proud of my offensive line group as well. With all of us being first year starters, many people believed that we would be the teams’ weakest link and that we wouldn’t be able to run the ball. We got better and better each week and became a pivotal factor in our playoff run, including a performance which over 300 yards rushing versus a stingy Central Bucks West defense. Everyone doubted us this year and we proved all of those people wrong by making it back to the District 1 championship for the third year in a row.”
What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“My plan for this offseason is to get stronger every day in the weight room and do everything I can to get better for my senior season.”
What are you trying to improve on the most as a player?
“The main things I’m trying to improve on this offseason is my technique and quickness.”
How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“Next year, I believe Coatesville will still be the team to beat in the Ches-Mont League. We lost multiple key starters from last year’s team, including all-state players Ricky Ortega and Dapree Bryant, but we have younger players ready to prove themselves. With three returning starters and two promising rising sophomores, our offensive line looks to dominate the run game this year. Our team is going to look a lot different than the Coatesville teams of recent years. We’re going to have to work a lot harder to put points on the board, but we know we’re still capable of dominating teams. We plan to prove those who doubt us wrong and make another deep playoff run, as we did last season.”
Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule next season?
“Our toughest game next season will most likely be against Downingtown East. They’re an extremely physical team that can run the ball very well. It’s always a heated rivalry game whenever we play Downingtown East, and we definitely have a chip on our shoulder after losing a very close game to them last year. We certainly are looking forward to our rematch with Downingtown West after losing to them in the District 1 championship.”
Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Playing football in college has been a dream for me since I started playing the game. I would love the opportunity to play at the next level, no matter what division.”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“So far, I’ve talked to coaches from the University of Pennsylvania and Yale.”
Have you made any college trips yet?
“No, I have not made any college trips yet.”
Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“I’m planning on taking visits in the spring and attending camps at different schools over the summer.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Growing up, I watched a lot of college football, but Penn State has always been my favorite team.”
