Q&A with Coach Austin Crisp
Q. How would you characterize
this year’s team?
A. Young and athletic.
Q. What will be the keys to your success?
A. Developing young kids early on in preseason play. If our young guys can have success by giving us meaningful reps on a Friday night, we will be successful.
Q. Who will be your key leaders on the team?
A. Zach Grower, Logan Moore, Slade Swaney, Haddon Fries, Eli Pursley, and Cameron Talley.
Q. What are your biggest reasons for optimism?
A. We feel we have established a great culture for our program. A culture built on the “WE,” not the “ME.” Our kids fight for each other and hold each other accountable.
Q. What will keep you up at night?
A. I will try to not let the outer circle things bother me. Philippians 4:6-7.
Q. What can you build on from last year?
A. Last season we proved that we can play with anyone in our classification. We have to build on that confidence and grit our seniors established for us.
Q. Any lessons learned from last year?
A. Focus on the inner circle. Don’t let family time get away. Be where your feet are.
Q. How would you characterize your team’s speed?
A. Sneaky fast.
