Chris Mailo is returning as this year’s Head Varsity Football Coach. I interviewed Chris about his thoughts about this year’s team.

How does it feel being in a new league?

Mailo – “It’s a fresh start and we have found a home.”

Do you feel it will make a big difference having a full season with the team?

Mailo – “Yes, I hope so. We are excited.”

Do you think the team will do better?

Mailo – “I hope so. We take it one day, one quarter and one play at a time.”

What are your team’s strengths?

Mailo- “The team has come together this season. The seniors have taken leadership and they lead by my example.”

Where do you think you need to improve?

Mailo- “Line up right, 9 out 10 times.”

What are the goals that you want to achieve this year?

Mailo- “Make the play-offs, get a league title and win the CIF championships.

Who is the team you are looking forward to playing?

Mailo- “It’s hard to say. We will take it one game at a time. OK, Grand Terrace, it will be a fun match up.”

What do you expect from your players?

Mailo- “I expect my kids to be good young men, be honest, have integrity and always do what is right.

Do you think this team has good chemistry?

Mailo- “I think so. After seeing them play last Friday, they came together, they are like family.

Some of this year’s returning Varsity Football players are: Jordan Ah’honi, Senior, Jordan Huesca, Junior, Napoleon Taufahema, Senior, Emmanuel Cardenas, Senior, Jason Taylor, Junior, and Daniel Pugh, Senior.

I wish the Colton Yellowjacket football team the best of luck this season!  Go Yellowjackets!
