Q & A With Coach Scott Chandler
Q: How would you characterize this year’s team?
A: We have a lot of players coming back, so we will be experienced on both sides of the ball.
Q: What will be the keys to your success?
A: Great senior leadership, staying injury-free, and having some good luck.
Q: Who will be your key leaders on the team?
A: Joshua Jackson (QB), Jersey Chubb (OB/LB), Jonah Chapman (OL/DL), Zashun Hubbard (WR/DB), and Josiah Bridgeman (WR/LB).
Q: What are your biggest reasons for optimism?
A: We went 7-4 last year without spring practice, without lifting weights, and running a new offense and defense. This year, we had spring practice, we have been in a weight program since Thanksgiving, and we are in our second year running our system.
Q: What will keep you up at night?
A: Wondering if I am doing what God wants me to do in leading these players to become men and influencing their lives for the kingdom.
Q: What can you build on from last year?
A: In the four games we lost, hopefully we learned what it takes to win those big games. Also, having several leaders who experienced a playoff run to the final four with our basketball team will greatly benefit us.
Q: Will we see anything different this year?
A: Better execution hopefully, which comes with spring practice and another summer of being in the same offense and defense.
