Varsity Football Scout and Film Coordinator Coach Jonathan Isaac commends Wide Receiver TJ Pappas ’23 for his incredible plays and being a true fighter for the team.
“TJ Pappas, he got two, probably like, sixty yard runs called back because of a penalty,” Coach Isaac said. “But he was a warrior out there. He never comes off the field. He started on defense and started on offense, since Kai Santos was out. He started both ways. He’s on every special team. He was just a warrior for us.”
Coach Isaac also acknowledges the team’s improvements over the season and how they were able to analyze their opponents for this matchup.
“Our kids have been really coachable this past month,” Coach Isaac said. “They’ve really taken well to assessments of their opponents and not taking anybody lightly. It’s been good to see them do that.”
Offensive Lineman Blair Horan ’22 notices the advancements the team has made since their first game of the season, which has been their only loss.
“Our team’s mentality, effort, and execution have come an extremely long way since our loss to Folsom,” Blair said. “If we can continue playing the way we play now and focus on our technique and fundamentals, we will be really good.”
