------------------------------------------------------------------------
Athlete: Alex DeJong
High School: Oskaloosa
Opponent: Mount Pleasant
“They are a good team. Last year we beat them pretty bad but that was last year. This year, they are improving as well. We just need to go in there and play like we can. We cannot take anyone lightly.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Athlete: Richie Griglione
High School: Interstate-35
Opponent: Pella Christian
“I know that they lost three key players from last year but we haven’t really gotten into them yet.”
“Everyone has to do their jobs, step up, and make plays.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Athlete: Bryce Hunger
High School: Iowa City High
Opponent: Iowa City West
“They are really good but if we bring our A game, I am excited about what we can do. They got a lot of good players but so do we.”
“I’d just say playing hard every down and knowing all of our assignments.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Athlete: Johnny Hill
High School: Bondurant-Farrar
Opponent: Grinnell
“I know that they lost their backfield and their quarterback transferred. That is about all I know. That is a big week for us.”
“We have come together and bring it all together. Our offense line has to step up. We have guys who have to get used to varsity football and make plays. We have to make it happen instead of waiting for it to happen.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Athlete: Jackson Leistikow
High School: Cedar Falls
Opponent: Western Dubuque
“I believe they graduated a bunch of their linemen. Other than that, we haven’t looked too far into them.”
