Oak Hall quarterback Michael Fortner (15).


A: I've made most of the workouts, the only way you are going to get better is to be faster and stronger. So I've made it a priority to make most of the workouts when I'm in town.

Q: The most overlooked position on a football team?

A: Definitely offensive line because they protect the quarterbacks and because running backs break huge holes because of the blocking of the linemen.

Q: Favorite part of practice?

A: Practicing offensive plays because you can see the progress every day as you do every rep. It makes you more confident heading into the game.


A: My teammates at Oak Hall. It feels more special when you're working hard and everyone around you is working hard to get better. Rather than talk about someone who has already played. Coach McDaniel says he would rather coach us than the best football players in the world.

Q: With the game on the line, who would you rather have at QB to orchestrate a 2-minute drill, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, or Tom Brady?

A: Tom Brady. I feel like he's been there before and I feel like he'd have the best chance of doing it again. Brady has the experience and the motivation and he won't let his team lose.
