Family: Father, Tom; mother, Jamie; brother, Mason<\/p>\n
Coach: Jeff Arthur<\/p>\n
Thoughts on your performance and how you were able to run for as many yards as you did: It\u2019s my line. They did amazing. They blocked awesome. I can\u2019t take any of the credit. It was all them.<\/p>\n
Describe your 74-yard touchdown run in the first quarter: It was originally supposed to be a pass to Mason (Voglino). I looked at the safety and I saw him directly looking at me. I knew I couldn\u2019t throw it because it would be a pick if I did throw it. I looked to my left and saw a big alley. I took it and went down the sideline. I saw Ethan Lee and Mason blocking, pushing them out, so I cut it back in and went to the end zone.<\/p>\n
The team built a 29-0 lead before Lackawanna Trail cut it to 29-15 in the third quarter. You scored on a 3-yard run to regain the momentum. Talk about that drive: That drive was important. Coach Arthur came to me and said that if we score here, the game was pretty much over. So he was like, \u2018Get us down the field and score.\u2019 I was like, all right, and I told the boys, \u2018Let\u2019s go.\u2019 The line did their best job blocking and we went down the field and scored.<\/p>\n
Carbondale Area has had difficulty in recent seasons. How satisfying is it to be enjoying success this season and clinch a tie for the division: This is big. Carbondale has been known for having rough seasons. Coach Arthur really put us through work this offseason. We were in the weight room. We\u2019ve been lifting Saturday mornings after games this year, watching film on Sunday nights. Coach Arthur always says that good teams\u2019 success comes on off-days. He put that into consideration and we just bonded. It\u2019s working for a different outcome this season.<\/p>\n
What has been the key to the team\u2019s success: Everybody has come together. We all bought in this year. The seniors are doing a really good job of leading, too.<\/p>\n
Goals for the rest of the season: I\u2019m just hoping we can all come together this week for practice and that we can beat Old Forge. It\u2019s going to be a tough game, they have a really good team. Also, I want to make playoffs. We really want to go far this year. We\u2019re having a good season, I don\u2019t want to end it soon.<\/p>\n
What is it like playing with your brother and enjoying the success you have this season: It\u2019s been awesome. Last year, he got hurt so it was rough not seeing him being able to play with me last year. But this year, we both talked and said we were going to have good seasons because it\u2019s my final season with him. We\u2019ve just been having success.<\/p>\n
