Wide Receiver Moses Burk, ’24, says, “We have been playing well so far as a team so hopefully we keep it going.”
Burk says, “We have improved on our offense just trying to make less mistakes.”
Jimmie Burk, ’26, is a running back for the team. He says, “ I’m excited for this game. We’ve improved on blocking with the Offensive line and we’ve also improved our defense.”
