Football Media Day, hosted by SME Harbinger, took place on Friday, August 20 right after school in the cafeteria. A press conference was held with 10 different Varsity football players: sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The seniors interviewed included Kyler Haughton (DB/WR), Brian Heneger (OL/DL), Ryan Ward (LB/RB), Jack Muller (OL/DL), and Ben Leujte (LB/TE). The three juniors chosen were Ethan Curran (LB/TE), Parker Liese (QB), and CJ Leonard (WR/DB). The two varsity sophomores included Joey Hoffman (DB/RB) and Ryan Dehan (DB/WR).
The players elaborated on their strong team bond to help them be successful this season. Junior quarterback Parker Liese elaborates on what he is most excited about to be on the team this season. “I think the progress that we’ve made over this offseason has been tremendously impressive… I believe we will be able to change the culture at east and we’re going to be a very successful team” Liese says. By winning day by day and not giving up, the team believes they can change the mentality surrounding the football team and the mindset people have.
Starting off the season, varsity’s first game is home on Sept 3 against SM North. The game will be played at North Stadium at 7 p.m. The game will be played on Lancer Day and the theme is Blue Out, decided by Pep Club.
