| QUESTION & ANSWER |
| Q:
|
The offense has changed this year to a more power running style with, of course,
still a heavy dose of passing after last year where it was more of a spread formation
with a lot of quarterback option pass/run calls. How has the adjustment gone so far?
|
| A: |
Very well
because it gives us more balance attack and makes it more difficult to defend against
us. |
| |
| Q:
|
Your dad is one of the coaches for Moniteau, and he has also been your high
school basketball coach during your career. What are some of the challenges that come
from having a parent as one of your coaches? What are some of the benefits?
|
| A: |
Challenge:
Sometimes the coaching isn't left on the field. He is Definitely tougher on me
then anyone else. Benefit:
Better prepared for games. We watch a lot of game films together, and he knows me
better then anyone else so it makes me better. |
|
| Q:
|
Moniteau has been in contention for the district and KSAC title the last couple
of seasons but has come up short. How much does achieving one or both of these goals
motivate you?
|
| A: |
Moniteau
is not yet considered a top-notch team by many, and we want to prove that we are just
as good. Moniteau hasn't been able to win either of these titles, and we want to be
the team to make it happen. |
|
| Q:
|
You are a quarterback who can pass and run. Which do you prefer and why?
|
| A: |
Pass ,
because I love the challenge of reading the defenses to find my receivers and
it helps us move the ball quicker down the field. |
| |
| Q:
|
What
are your plans after high school? |
| A: |
Play
college football and study sports management. |
