Find out what some of the elite players in the state are saying about how football now!
Update - Cherry Creek linebacker Angelo Petrides
How has everything been going so far during the football season?
“The season is going great so far. I feel like losing to Arapahoe really allowed players that are leaders to step up and lead. Beating Eaglecrest last Friday really allowed our team to gain more confidence and realize that we are always the most physical team going into the playoffs and are obligated to continue the strong Bruin legacy. “
Where specifically do you feel your team can get better at?
“Our team as a whole is not lacking any physical characteristics to beating the teams we face forward but the #1 thing is to have more players that can step up and make those great plays. We have great talent and I believe that our team is continuing to get better with this game by game.”
Have you been happy with your play so far?
“My performance so far this season has excited and inspired lots of people around me but I still always believe that I can improve. Getting better may not just be from a personal standpoint, but to also push my teammates to grow as well.”
What will allow your team to reach their full potential this season?
“Something that will push our team to reach our full potential to always live with the underdog mentality. Things like us having injured players doesn't allow others to feel sorry for us, but should fuel us to face the teams later on.”
What are your goals for the rest of the year?
“Goals that our team has set for the rest of the year are, like I said, having more players step up and become leaders. That starts with the small things such as helping others on the team build confidence.”
