Q: What record did you tie in the game versus Moline?

A: “I tied the record of most field goals in one game.” 

Q: What record did you tie for the field goal?

A: “Three [field goals], because I did not break it, I tied it.”

Q: What were the distances for the field goal?

A: “I think it was 28, 29 and 27 [yards]”

Q: Did Moline try to disrupt you or your strategy during the field goal attempts?

A: “Yeah, I could hear them from the sidelines saying ‘don’t miss like you did last year’ and all that. So that was definitely getting in my head, but I trusted with all I could do and I went with it.” 

Q: What impact did you have on the outcome of the game?

A: “Up until we scored our first touchdown, I had all of our points in the first half. It was 10-9. Before [junior] Kindall Young got the first touchdown, I definitely kept us in there and made it, so I didn’t blow the lead open.” 

Q: How did you maintain consistency during the game?

A: “The week leading up to the first game, [I practiced] a bunch and [worked] with my teammates.”
