Their form is largely down to the exceptional performance of quarterback, Dylan Moran, who has already thrown for over 800 yards and 14 touchdowns, against one interception. Moran's family has a history of football; his father was an offensive lineman for two-time Super Bowl champion, Eli Manning, and his cousin was a quarterback before becoming a private coach. Although the team is under pressure, they are using it to fuel their ambition of winning a district championship.
