Jace Golden/Northridge

What has been your biggest moment this season?

 As a team starting off strong against a strong Newark catholic, personally my touchdown against Northridge

What’s been the worst part of the season?

The worst part of the season is obviously the losing but more importantly knowing are full potential if everyone was 100% committed 

What makes you a good teammate?

I am always building people up on the field rather then tearing them down and telling them to forget about a bad play they might have had and move on to the next and make sure to celebrate when they have good plays.

RB or LB: Which one do you feel you have been better at this season?

This season I’d say LB but we do have a inexperience offensive line

RB or LB: Which one do you feel you are best at?

This season I’d say LB but i think it would be close if our offensive line have more experience

Everyone needs to buy in during the offseason and get bigger, faster, stronger. We need to get everyone to come out next year and hopefully some more.

I try to convince them that if we had the number and the subs for when people are tired we would be good.

Keeping a good mindset
