Junior Lucas Pincus-Coyle has been a key member of the Jonathan Law football team since his freshman year and he is now taking on the role of captain. He is a three-sport athlete, playing basketball and running track as well as being a running back on the football team. Last year, the Law football team had a record of 2-8. They were looking to improve that record this year, but with COVID-19 the CIAC has been hesitant to allow some fall sports. They recently released a statement cancelling the fall season of football, but Pincus-Coyle and the other players haven’t given up hope yet. Advocate News Editor Sydney Simpson interviewed Pincus-Coyle about the 2020 season. 

Sydney Simpson: How did you feel when you found out the football season was cancelled?

Lucas Pincus-Coyle: When I first found out that our football season was cancelled I was annoyed because I know our team really wanted to play, and we were working really hard for the fall season.

SS: Do you know of any plans to possibly have a season in the spring?

LPC: The last statement from the CIAC was that it would, “consider allowing competition at a later time for a sport that cannot hold its regularly scheduled season, such as football, provided it does not negatively impact spring sports.”

SS: How are practices working right now?

LPC: As of right now practices are two days a week, Mondays and Thursdays, for 90 minutes and with the full team. 

SS: What is your role as a captain?

LPC: My role as a captain is to help lead the team, organize activities that happen, and help on and off the field. 

SS: What is the team doing to prepare for the possible season and to keep their hopes up?

LPC: Our team is continuing to practice, using hudl, and working out to prepare for the possible season. To keep our hopes up we are coming out to practice every time with high energy and determination to hopefully play in the spring.
