Inside Thoughts from Athletes
===================================
Fossil Ridge athlete Marcus Mozer
How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I think our team is going to be pretty good next year. We get a lot of guys back and especially the guys that were big contributors to our team like Jake Toshcoff, Colton Pawlak, Mason Griffin, Nate Ceshcin, and Nick Kubat.”
What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“I feel like our toughest competition is definitely going to be Columbine. They just won the state championship so they are definitely going to try to go back-to-back.”
Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“I feel like the toughest individual player we will face is Jordan Rechel. He is a really quick and elusive wide receiver which makes him really tough to defend. He also plays as a defensive back for Fairview. This makes him really tough to go against since he is such a good all-around player.”

Fossil Ridge offensive lineman Nate Ceschin
How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I feel that our team will be a lot better than last year, we have a big senior class that knows the plays well so we will hopefully be a very sound team.”
What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“I’m pretty sure we will play Columbine next season so they will definitely give us some tough competition as they are defending state champs.”
Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“In my opinion it will be Bekkam Kritza from Fairview, we are going to need a good defensive strategy to stop this quarterback.”

Fossil Ridge quarterback Nick Kubat
How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I think our team will do better next season. We were mostly juniors this past season so we didn’t lose many seniors. This year was a building year so I think next year we will only get better.”
What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Next year we play Columbine, our second game of the season and they are the 5a state champion so I think that will be our hardest game.”
Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“The hardest player that we played against this year was Bekkam Kritza. He is the quarterback for Fairview and he is smart and has a good arm.”
