Q&A with Starr's Mill quarterback Logan Inagawa
What have you been doing as of late with off-season workouts?
“This off-season, I’ve enjoyed traveling and competing with my 7v7 teammates. I’ve also been lifting weights and training with my high school team. I have been throwing routes to my receivers and working on timing and accuracy.”
What do you feel you have improved on most this off-season?
“I have improved significantly in my accuracy, and pre-snap reads. My coaches are helping me focus on the skills that can separate me from the competition, and I have been working to get better every day.”
How do you feel your team will do this football season?
“I am confident that Starr’s Mill has the elements in place to make a deep run in the playoffs again this year. We have a loaded offense and key returning players on defense. We just have to avoid injury as we progress through the season.”
What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“We are in a new Region this year, so I don’t know all the teams. However, I anticipate Central Carrollton will be one of our toughest games of the regular season. We played them last year, and it came down to the game’s final play. We came up with the win on a Hail Mary pass as time expired. I expect nothing short of a great game again this year.”
Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“One of the toughest individual players we will face is Central Carrollton’s running back, Jonaz Walton. He caused problems for us last year in our third-round playoff victory. With another year under his belt, he’s sure to be a dangerous player. We’ll need to focus and put in the work to stop him.”
