Q&A with Coach Andy Scott

Lafayette High School football coach Andy ScottQ: How would you characterize this year’s team?

A: This year’s team is one of the strongest teams I have ever coached. Our hope is to transfer that strength to the field of play.

A: The biggest challenge for us will be to develop our offensive, defensive, and special team schemes around our players to maximize their talents.

Q: Who will be your key leaders on the team?

A: Jaylon Ramsey (QB/WR/DB) has the potential to take it to the house anytime the ball is in his hands. Trey Taylor (WR/DB) is a very multi-talented player, having played both offense and defense in the past. Coy Pendergrass (OL/DL), Tristian Lytle (OL), and Dakota Catlett (OL/DL) are all solid returners on the offensive line.

Q: What are your biggest reasons for optimism?

A: This is just a great group of kids and players. These young men are an absolute pleasure to coach and lead.

Q: What will keep you up at night?

A: Just making sure that we are doing our best to be as disciplined as possible and execute at a high level.

Coach’s View

After making the playoffs last year for the first time in 27 years, these Ramblers are looking to do that and even more. With a solid group of returning senior and junior starters, the Ramblers feel that they can exceed the expectations of many. My staff and I have worked extremely hard this summer to instill the basics of offense, defense, and special teams, and we look forward to what the season brings.
