......................................................................................................


Q&A with Stockbridge dual threat quarterback Cobey Thompkins
How did the high school football season go overall?
“This year's season went great in [my] eyes. The season before we went 5-5 and to make a major turnaround going 10-3 and making it to the 3rd round meant a lot to the program, players and the school.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“My plans this year [include] getting ready for my senior season, training and lifting, getting stronger and faster.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I feel we’re going to states next season.

“The toughest individual player we have to face this year would be Kam Davis from Dougherty. He’s a playmaker, smart and can compete. After falling short to Dougherty 33-30 last year this game will be personal next season.”

......................................................................................................
Q&A with River Ridge offensive lineman Jon Faletra
How did the high school football season go overall?
“Our season went well, we went to the first round of playoffs though we could have improved on different areas as a team to make it farther in the year.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“My plans for the off season are to continue to get stronger, faster, and work on fundamentals by going to the gym and also getting in work at Velocity. All about Health has also been a huge part of my off-season and in season help with maintaining weight and losing bad weight and gaining good weight.”

“I feel as if we as a team put in the right work and focus on our goals and the right things. We can make it farther than last season and I believe we can come for the region in the upcoming season. It all comes down to us working together and listening to our coaches, also learning from mistakes and not getting frustrated at the little things.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Rome Wolves will be our toughest competition coming into the season. I believe we can come out hit hard and take a win against them but it all comes down to how we communicate with each other on the field and on the sidelines and how well we can execute our jobs. I see no problem with us going in and coming out the winners.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“There are many tough players in our region but there is not just one player who can take all of us. It's not about who the toughest player is, it's about the toughest team and how we can react by doing our jobs and work together even with our coaches and do our business.”

......................................................................................................
Q&A with Morgan County defensive end Antavious Elder
How did the high school football season go overall?

“I think Greene County will be the toughest on our schedule because it’s two teams that really don’t like each other when it comes down to football. There is a pretty intense rivalry there!

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“I think Stephen Miller from Greene County. he’s so special, man. His ability to get out of the pocket and throw the ball is a talent you really can’t teach. His leadership is outstanding.”

Q&A with Fellowship Christian School wide receiver Josh Milhollin
How did the high school football season go overall?

“Personally, I’m still in the playoffs for soccer, but I’ve still been working to improve my speed and weight. Every week I go to a field and train my speed and agility. I've noticed a huge improvement from the end of the season to now, and I’m still going up.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?

How did the high school football season go overall?
“The high school football season overall went decent, but we left a lot on the table. Our team was young and were just getting the opportunity to play on the varsity football level. Personally, I had a good junior season how I needed to and ended up earning first team all-region, player of the year, and several all-star game invitations. I impacted each game on all three levels (offense, defense, and special teams) and led my team in receiving yards.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“My plans with sports and workouts are to get faster and put on some muscle mass. I am currently running track and attending football workouts early in the morning to get more explosive. This track season I’ve been competing at a high level in mainly triple jump, but I also compete in long jump, 300m hurdles, and a couple relays such as 4x1 and 4x2. The morning workouts are intense led by my phenomenal Coach Washington! The goal is to try to get the team on one accord and one mindset for the upcoming season.

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“The toughest individual our team will face is ourselves! We are our biggest opponent and we control how far we will go. We have all the pieces and athletes together to do something special. It is going to take being committed and dedicated to one another to get where we want too.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, I do want to play sports in college. I currently have two division one scholarships and several interests to play at the next level. I believe after this upcoming season my name will be on a lot more college radars.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“A couple colleges that have been recruiting me are Southeast Missouri, the Navy, Mercer, Ga Southern, Wofford, Coastal Carolina, Miami Ohio and many more.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“As of right now, the school that has been recruiting me the hardest would probably be Mercer. Coach Cole, the cornerback coach, is a great person outside of football and has been in contact with me daily showing consistent love.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I have made some college trips to Alabama State, UNC-Charlotte, and Mercer.”

Do you have plans for any trips soon?
“With such a busy schedule, I plan on getting on campus soon at Southeast Missouri, Ga Southern, and Samford.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
