How did the high school football season go overall?
“I think the season went well. It definitely wasn’t the finish that we were hoping for but as the season progressed our brotherhood grew. And to me that was my favorite part.”
What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“Now that the season is done I have been to four different combines: Kohl’s Western Showcase, Rubio’s Nor Cal camp, Kohl’s underclassmen invitational, and Rubio’s Vegas XXXIX. I have also been working out every day at various different gyms.”
How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I feel that next year as a team if we want to be successful we need leaders and guys to step up because we lost some great players and leaders in the senior class. But the upcoming seniors have amazing potential and are already very promising leaders.”
What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Our toughest opponent will be Montrose. They have very physical players and they are very well coached. After a loss to them last year our guys are hungry and want to compete against them again.”
Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“One of the best athletes that we played against this year was Bebe Hills. The Vista Ridge WR has amazing speed and agility.”

Update - Vista Ridge wide receiver Mason Carter
How did the high school football season go overall?
“The season went well, the adjustment to the speed of high school football went very smoothly. Made a lot of connections with my team and the coaching helped me more than anything with the adjustment.”

“So far this off-season I had surgery on my foot so I had to recover from that before being able to play 7 on 7. Track starts up soon as well which I’ll do.”
How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“On the offensive side of the ball we only lost one starter so we’re just going to keep building off what we accomplished this year, as far as defense we lost a lot of starters. All of the voices on defense graduated so I’m definitely going to have to become that leader on defense which is something I’m looking forward to.”
What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Legend, a new team on our schedule will definitely be great competition for us, this past season they were a team that played both 4A and 5A teams which we didn’t.”
Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“There are always going to be good players that we’re going to play against so I couldn’t really pick one, we just have to figure out how to contain them regardless of what position they play or what school they’re from.”
