Q: How is your first year as the Varsity quarterbacking going?

Q: How do you think the rest of the season will go?

“I think the rest of the season will be good.  We have shown times where were are a great team, and times where we make mistakes.  If we eliminate the mistakes, we can be good and have fun.  Look at week 4; we had a few mistakes and were up 48-0 at halftime.”
