High School Football Spotlight: Liston Shroyer, QB, Watkins Memorial High School

1-How important is it for Watkins to open the season with a victory?

We open with New Albany and this is why it is important to me for us to start off with a win. New Albany came back in the bottom of the 7th to knock us out of the baseball playoffs. SO maybe that one is more personal for me and the other baseball players on the team.

2-The Warriors ended 2020 with a .500 record. What will it take for you guys to improve on that this season?

Coach Waters has been stressing the word culture so if we all buy-in and come out ready to work as a team we’ll have no problem going 10-0

3- How rough was last season as far as trying to stay motivated with everything that was going on?

It cut back on bonding time. But it’s not hard to stay motivated when you get to play football.
