Carson High School’s football season has had a rough start, yet our captains are still determined. They keep the team motivated and are some of the key players. They continue to give their team hope. These particular athletes play a very big role to the team. The season hasn’t started off so great but these players certainly do not let that affect their game or contribution to the team.
Athleticism is not the only thing these boys have to offer. They carry a lot of weight on their shoulders, being captains of the team is one of them. Not only do they do their assignments and perform well on the field but they work together to always make sure the passion does not die within the team.
Academies of Empowerment and Education, senior, Judah Foisia stated, “The biggest play I’ve made this season was an interception in the fourth quarter during the game vs Milikan. We should have won after that but we made too many mistakes. Being an upperclassman comes with a lot of responsibilities, so me and my co-captains take the initiative upon ourselves to guide our team.”
“My best play I’ve made so far this season was my pick six against Milikan,” said AEE, senior, Makoa Tuisalo’o.
Tusialo’o agreed with Foisia about their feelings towards the outcome of the Milikan game. They both felt as if their team should have won but they just made too many mistakes mentally. Although mistakes were made, these individuals work to make sure that their team fixes all errors during practice, so come game time their mistakes will be minimized.
AEE senior, Jahlon Thomas said, “I help lead the defensive line both in practice and in the game. My contribution to the team is just to set the bar for the younger generation, and overall just to provide leadership. “
AEE senior, Micah Gardner stated, “I lead by example. My contribution to the team is providing leadership through my character both on and off the field
Despite the outcome of the first couple of games the captains feel as if we are headed in a good direction.
