Q&A with Coach Jesse Peppers
Q. How would you characterize this year’s team?
A. Young, but ambitious. We have a great group of guys that work hard each day and are dedicated to doing the little things to help us get better.
Q. What will be the keys to your success?
A. Consistent improvement. Learning how to win is a process, and a major key to that process is getting better each day so that we can put ourselves in a position to be successful.
Q. Who will be your key leaders on the team?
A. Luis Familia, Mason Williams, Sam Ramirez, Sean Davis, Alex Ramirez, Anthony Young, Justice Bolt, and Tucker Townsend.
Q. What are your biggest reasons for optimism?
A. The strides that we have made in the weight room during the offseason.
Q. What will keep you up at night?
A. The normal concerns that come with trying to ensure you’re helping your team reach its potential.
Q. What can you build on from last year?
A. We had a lot of ninth graders that had to play in major roles on Friday nights last season. All of those guys are back, and they are a year older and better prepared for those situations.
Q. Will we see anything different this year?
A. We will transition from the Wing-T back to more of a spread-look offensively. Defensively, we will be in an even front.
