VYPE: How long have you been playing football? What got you started in the sport?
Emmers: I've been playing football since kindergarten. My dad got me started.

VYPE: Do you have a go-to game day routine?
Emmers: I listen to music (NBA Youngboy).

VYPE: What are your goals for the season-- both individually and for the team?
Emmers: My goals for the season are to help my team go to state and to be First Team All-District/Region/State.

VYPE: Is there a professional athlete you look up to?
Emmers: Stefon Diggs.

VYPE: What are you looking for in a college program?
Emmers: My recruitment is open. I'm looking for a good community and a solid program. A place that will help me develop.

VYPE: When the hook and ladder was called, did you know that you could get the job done for the team?
Emmers: Yeah, I felt like I had a big chance when I saw all the space after I caught the ball. It felt really good!

Emmers: That last play wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for the good snap, the line blocking, Evan (Bullock) throwing a perfect pass, Cam (Augurson)'s catch and flip, and the down-field blocking by Breezy (Dubar) and (Sean) Steens.

Emmers and the Coyotes will be back in action on Friday, September 9th as the team hosts Van Alstyne. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m.
