By: Gabby Cano, Special Project Editor

Grade: Junior

Sport: Football

Position: Quarterback

Number: 12

Why he was selected: This season Marczuk acts as the new starting quarterback. He led the Knights to consecutive wins before a tough loss last week. The Krier sat down with Marczuk to ask him several questions. 

What did you think about last week’s loss against Rich Central?

Last week’s game was a tough loss. The fact that we only lost by one point made it harder, but it was a great learning experience for the team.

How do you think you’ve been able to help lead the team?

As the quarterback, I lead the offense and so during the games I need to organize plays.

Are there any skills you think you need to work on?

I think I need to focus on hitting more open receivers and just being a better pocket passer.

What are you looking forward to this season?

I’m really excited for the playoffs to start because the stakes to win are higher. Right now, I’m just looking forward to continuing to build on the momentum we have, and to hopefully win our conference.
