Q & A With Coach Rusty McIntyre
Q: How would you characterize this year’s team?
A: Hardworking, focused, and committed.
Q: What will be the keys to your success?
A: Being fundamental, maintaining focus on the goals throughout the year, and developing depth.
Q: Who will be your key leaders on the team?
A: Payton Campbell (QB/DB), Brandon Presto (OL/DL), Brayden Johnson (WR/TE/LB), Avery Headrick (OL/DL), Dakota Hinders (RB/DL), Garrett Worthington (OL/DL), and Jacob Lockhart (TE/LB).
Q: What are your biggest reasons for optimism?
A: The players have had an incredible work ethic throughout the off-season. They have gotten stronger in the weight room. If they can take that work ethic and increased strength to the field, we will be an improved football team.
Q: What will keep you up at night?
A: Depth. This time of year, we have a lot of questions about depth.
Q: What can you build on from last year?
A: Played a difficult schedule last season and was able to make the playoffs after missing them in 2020.
Q: Any lessons learned from last year?
A: Control what we can control. There will be some things we cannot control, and we just have to adapt and overcome when it happens.
Q: How would you characterize your team’s speed?
A: Our team speed will be similar to last season. Speed will not be how we win. We will try to win with execution.
