Insider Info: Post-game with Minneapolis North

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">After covering the Minneapolis North vs. Minneapolis Southwest football game that Kare11's Randy Shaver named his "Game of the Week", I was lucky enough to interview four of North's key players in-order to gain some insight on their victory and how they are feeling about the rest of their 2019 campaign. Because they are one of the best teams in the Twin Cities, as well as a perennial AA contender, the information I got was both interesting and useful if readers want to know what it's like to currently be a North Polar. Let's check in with <strong>Dominic McMillian, Zach Yeager, Terrance Kamara, </strong>and<strong> Isaiah Spivey </strong>to see how Minneapolis North is feeling after their big 20-7 win over Southwest last Friday. </span> <strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Dominic McMillian</span></strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"><em> on how his team played:</em> "I feel like we actually did good on defense. Offense had a couple bad plays, but the defense executed every play. Probably the second play, I had my pick-six. But defense kept on going, we didn't give up, and just kept pushing.</span> <span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"><em>What happened on the pick-six?</em>: "Coach OA had called it out. I had seen it as well, and had watched a lot of film and I saw that on the short side, they always do that 5-yard out, so I was like 'yeah that's me.'</span> <em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">What's next for the Polars?: </span></em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">We got Henry next. It's our homecoming so we got to do our thing. This should be a good game, but for the rest of the regular season we need to execute and do our thing."</span> <strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Zach Yeager </span></strong><em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">on how the game went in his own words: </span></em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">"We came out pretty slow on offense but in the second half our O-line really picked it up and came in clutch.</span> <em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">What's next for the Polars?: "</span></em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">This was a pretty big game. Coming into the season we knew this was going to be a big game and we took it seriously. Our first two games were against Johnson and Southwest and we knew those were going to be big, but now we just need to get ready for the playoffs." </span> <span><span style="font-family: times new roman, times, serif;"><i>How are you feeling about your performances so far?: </i></span></span>"<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">I know I could do a lot better, but we're going to come out strong and have a lot of stuff to keep working on." </span> <strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Terrance Kamara </span></strong><em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">on his great game and what he credits for that success: "</span></em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">First off, I got to thank my o-line. Second, I watch a lot of film, so I knew the holes that were going to hit and try to follow our game plan and try to get three to four yards every run, and that led to some of the bigger runs."</span> <em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Coming off these two big games, how are you feeling about the rest of the regular season?: </span></em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">"Other people will say that we're playing "easy" teams, but we can't feed into that, we need to keep playing our game and put up numbers and then get ready for the playoffs. We got to go hard through the regular season AND playoffs. Next week homecoming is going to be a big one, it's a rivalry game and it's at 5:30 at Parade Stadium."</span> <em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">On what's next for the Polars: </span></em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">"We're chasing a ring. We got to keep going hard and we can't let up or give up." </span> <strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">Isaiah Spivey </span></strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"><em>on his injury and getting cleared to play</em>: "I did get cleared, but right now I need to set up an appointment with my therapist, get my brace, and after that I'll be right back on the field. I've been lifting, got film on Monday and have been watching that, and I've been lifting by myself in the morning as well as the team. Putting in extra work too."</span> <em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">On getting ready to make an impact for North: </span></em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">"We got some nice quarterbacks, a nice little team, and when I come in I'm forsure ready to make an impact. The rest of the season is going to be a movie." </span> <span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">I appreciate the Polar players giving me some time for a postgame interview, and I'm excited to watch them chase this ring!</span> &nbsp;
