Jace Adler of Andover Central was a powerhouse on both sides of the ball for the Jaguars last season, and was named a first team all-league receiver and defensive back. Adler is hoping the energy and drive from last season carries over to this year as well.
“I’m preparing for the season by doing more agility work and working out so I can be in the best shape possible,” Adler said. “One weakness I had last year was my endurance so I wanted to focus on that so I can be at 100 percent for most of the game.”
Along with the rest of the Jaguars, Adler is looking for revenge in this year’s state championship game, along with some new statistical highs.
“Some goals for the season I would like to achieve our state title and some stats I would like to achieve are a thousand yards and nine interceptions,” Adler said.
Not quite meeting the goals he wanted to last year, Adler is looking to see some improvement on the field this season.
“Improvement I want to have is for my man coverage defense and yards after catches on offense,” Adler said.
With Andover Central being one of the most difficult places to play, Adler is beyond excited to get back out there as a Jaguar.
“I’m most excited to be back with my team and I’m also excited to feel the atmosphere of the stands and field again,” Adler said.
