They really excel off that. And once they get a few yards, they're just great athletes and they can make work with it. "
Reece Tanner, Scranton Prep Senior added, "I learned that we are fighters. We won't give up. If we get down, we're going to keep playing. We're going to tough it out, and we're going to find a way to win. "
Scranton had to replace Billy Maloney at quarterback and Brody Coyle has done the job. The junior has 413 yards throwing with 3 touchdowns and has learned a lot in the first 4 games.

But, you know, it really is a lot having to step up and but, you know, it's fun. You know, in football, it's just a game. And, you know, you go out and play it and you have fun with it. "
Steve Shumbres , Scranton Coach added, "He came up with us as a freshman, so he's been. He's been part of the system. He understands what we're trying to do. He had a great summer, and then he's just learning how to be a quarterback. Every. Every game, every possession.
He gets better. He's figuring things out. You know, he's making some first year mistakes here and there. But, you know, for a guy that that's got four games under his belt that we're very confident in him. "
His favorite targets have been Memphis Shotto and Reece Whitman with the senior and junior both leading the teams in rushing as well.
Memphis Shotto," Scranton Senior says, " I learned that we're all a bunch of hard workers, and we all go. Go and get it every single Friday. Try to get the win.
Shumbres added, " We moved him out to white out. But we give him the ball in the backfield a lot. Reece Wittman has stepped up as our starting tailback. And then we have, a bunch of receivers that we can get the ball to. Michael McCann. Dempsey. You know, Salazar, Tae weeks. So there's a lot of guys that could get the ball. "

Holmes says, " to have to stay vigilant in the secondary. Can't look in the backfield. And we're gonna need our line up front to get some pressure. And I think, if we match up, well, we can we can play like we've been playing.
Coyle added," I mean, they're a great team, no doubt about it. You know, we've been preparing, as much as we can. I know we're just going to go out there and try to execute our game plan. You know, we're going to try and get the win. "
