Ask the Coach with Head Coach John Franco: Week 7

Every week of the football season, Eagle Eye writer and Junior football player Matt Clifton will interview Coach Franco.

Eagle Eye: How do you think the team played against Bald Eagle?

Coach Franco: “I thought we played hard as a team but I wasn’t very pleased with the penalties and the turnover in the first series of downs. We also had two opportunities in the first half to score and we didn’t take advantage of them and you can’t do that against a good team like Bald Eagle.”

EE: How do you think the match up is against Clearfield?

CF: “Clearfield will be a very tough team they are one of the best programs in all of Central PA.”

EE: How do you plan to deal with Clearfield?

CF: :”To beat Clearfield we have to shut down their inside running game and keep them from scoring on explosive plays. On offense we have to finish and by that I mean we have long drives and we have to get the ball in the end zone. We can’t hurt hurt ourselves on offside penalties which really hurt us last week. Oh no we have to focus on working really hard and getting better each week.”

EE: What’s your favorite drink?

CF: “My favorite drink is probably a really nice fresh cup of coffee in the early morning.”
