Update - Horizon quarterback Alex Birch
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“As a team we are growing and getting better day by day. The beginning of the season didn’t go as planned as we started 0-6, but we have won our last 2 games which is giving us confidence and momentum going into the last two weeks of the season.”
Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“At the beginning of the season I wasn’t playing to my max potential and wasn’t playing too well. As the season has gotten rolling, I feel like I have improved more and am now happy with the way I am playing.”
How do you feel your team has played?
“I feel like we have played good games throughout the year, just the outcome didn’t end up in our favor.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“I think our team needs to improve more on being consistent on the field, offense scoring every drive at least putting points on the board, and defense getting stops on most of all the drives to allow the offense to take the lead in games.”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“The keys for our team to be successful are strong leadership and building a good, determined, hard-working culture for the Horizon football program.”

Update - Longmont wide receiver Gael Garcia
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“Overall it’s been a competitive season. It’s been fun seeing my guys grow as teammates and as men. We’ve improved plenty, started the year 1-4 so now being on a 3 game win streak, evening our record to 4-4 with a real shot at the playoffs, [the] sky’s the limit for us in my eyes.”
Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“I have been trying to give everything I can and for the most part I feel as if I’ve tried to leave everything I’ve had on that field but I could always improve.”
How do you feel your team has played?
“I feel like our team has played better and better each week. We’re taking it one game at a time but these boys are hard workers and I know I can always go into a dog fight with them having my back.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“Playing full speed along with minimizing mental errors. We’ve had flashes and moments doing so but until we put a whole game together that’s the goal.”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“Keys for our team being successful moving forward starts with us playing for each other and trusting one another, we’ve been improving on this since the summer and the results have been nothing but positive from doing so.”
