How did the high school football season go overall?
“Even though we didn’t reach our ultimate goal which was to win a district title, I felt we had a great season overall. People doubted us after losing so many seniors, and I felt like we didn’t miss a beat and played great all season. I am proud of our overall team effort and some of the individual milestones I was able to achieve with the help of my teammates and coaches. Stats and record aside, the bonds and connections I made with my teammates over the course of the year is something I’ll never forget.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“A couple of us have already started throwing and running routes just to ensure that our chemistry and connection just keeps improving. After basketball season is over, I’m definitely going to officially join the team in our off season lifts and field workouts.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I feel we definitely have a good shot at that this year. We have a lot of returning starters, which means plenty of experience and skill.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“I don’t know if I can choose the toughest team we’re going to play. We’re treating every game on our schedule like it’s going to be the toughest one yet. North Schuylkill is always tough and we play them on the road this year. Northern Lehigh beat us last year, and we have two tough games on the road against Jim Thorpe and Palmerton. Every team seems to play their hardest against us, so we have to be ready for everyone. Our opener, Saucon Valley, is what we have circled right now.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“Again, like the last question, I don’t know if I can pick any one player in the entire league. Of course there are a ton of star players, like Joey Flail, from North Schuylkill and Matt Machalik, from Palmerton, and we’ll just have to prepare extra hard for those guys. Our league is very deep and there are a ton of new stars that emerge every year.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, I do hope to play football in college.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“As of right now, multiple colleges have been in touch with me, but I’m definitely keeping my options open.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I wouldn’t say any one school is recruiting me harder than another, but primarily FCS schools in the northeast have been in contact with me.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“No, as of right now I haven’t made any college trips.”

Do you have plans for any trips soon?
“I’m hoping to attend a lot of different camps and college tours as soon as my schedule clears up.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Notre Dame was always the main college I rooted for. My dad and uncle went there so I just grew up rooting for them.”
