Talk about scoring four goals against Lehighton: “I was just taken aback. I was surprised how well we played and that my shots were on that night.”
What’s it like playing with an all new starting midfield?: “It’s very different and we’re still kind of getting used to it. It puts a lot of pressure on the offense to score a lot more, especially losing our defense. But our keeper (Aaron Albertini) returning takes a lot of the pressure off.”
Where do you see Blue Mountain finishing the season?: “I’d like to see us in the league playoffs and finals.”
Individual goals for the season: “I would like to see us go pretty far in districts, but I would be happy with making first-team all-league. I’m not too worried about how many goals I get, as long as we’re getting that W.”
What are your plans after high school?: Undecided.
