Q&A with Mcintosh quarterback Tate Morris
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“So far the season has not started the way that we had hoped, however, I feel that as a team we have made great strides in a positive direction on both sides of the ball and we are going to surprise some teams for the remainder of the season.”
Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“For the most part I have been pleased with my performance, especially being a 2nd year quarterback. I am still learning some things and the ins and outs of the position but overall I have been pleased.”
How do you feel your team has played?
“I feel that we have played well at times and poorly at times on both sides of the ball. I feel like we are much better than our record and that we really could be 3-1 if we could erase a couple of mistakes during games. With a new coach and scheme it has been a learning process but we are getting better every week.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“I feel like we can improve on both sides of the ball. There is always room for improvement no matter how good you may be performing. Offensively I need to have a better completion rate and get us in the end zone more. Defensively I feel like we are there where we need to be, we just need to tackle better at times.”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“The keys for our success are going to be to continue to learn and excel in the new schemes that we have on both sides of the ball. We just need to improve each week in all areas of the game. Another key is to be able to keep everyone healthy and focused on the task at hand each day on the field during practice and game time.”

Q&A with Creekview quarterback Austin Guest
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“We haven’t got off to [the] start we wanted, had to work through some tough injuries at key positions and we were still figuring out some positions on offense. But we picked up a solid team win last Friday against North Forsyth, 35-7. feel good about where we are going into the region schedule.”
Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“I feel like I’ve gotten better each week, things are starting to slow down for me. Feeling very confident in my throws and my run game. Had my best game last week, 18/24 269 yards 2 TDS passing. 48 rushing yards and 1 TD.”
How do you feel your team has played?
“We’re getting better every week. Creating more chemistry with each other and we feel confident moving forward.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“Got to eliminate penalties and mental mistakes. Can’t hurt ourselves which we’ve done the first couple of games. It’s my job to make sure we’re ready to play each week. As long as we execute to our level of football we’ll be good going forward.”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“See above.”
