Senior Zach Merchant has been a key asset to the Jonathan Law football team. He is a wide receiver for the Lawmen and hopes to improve on his game everyday. The team’s record so far this season is 2-8. Merchant and the team is looking ready for the Thanksgiving game. Staff reporter Michael Loschiavo interviewed Merchant about his football season.

Michael Loschiavo: What are you going to miss most about the football team?

Zach Merchant:  I am going to miss the friendships and the bonds that I have made over the past four years.

ML: How do you prepare yourself for every game?

ZM: To prepare for each game, I watch film on the other team and watch what I should be doing. Also, before every game I listen to music.

ML: What does the team need to do to be successful the rest of the season?

ZM: In order to be successful for the rest of the season, the team needs to forget about our record and play as hard as we can for the next two games.

ML: As a captain, how do you feel like you are a role model to the kids?

ZM: I feel like a captain is a position that all underclassmen aspire to be and watch carefully how the captains lead the team to help lead when we leave.

ML: Are you prepared for the Thanksgiving game and why?

ZM: Yes, we are prepared for Thanksgiving because I am not losing to Foran.
