I don&#8217;t want to do anything to hurt my team, so I just go out there and do my job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Peterson is a coach of the field and is extremely well liked and has the respect of everyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kwon has both a great (strong) arm and an accurate arm,&#8221; Maranatha coach Steve Bogan said. &#8220;He is also very fast, with ability to extend plays. He can hurt a team with both his arm and legs. He is very much a player-coach on the field. He also has integrity and balance. He&#8217;s a good person in a crazy world. He&#8217;s a true joy to coach!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret as to why Peterson has become such a mature and humble young man.<\/p>\n<p>His parents, Antoine and Nadine have their son focused and disciplined.<\/p>\n<p>Every night at 9 p.m., Peterson has to turn over his phone to his parents so he can concentrate on his studies and rest his body for that week&#8217;s practices and game.<\/p>\n<p>It prevents him from spending time on social media or wasting his time when there are more important things to focus on.<\/p>\n<p>His father is also an assistant coach at the school, and his brother Antoine is on the sidelines of every game rooting his little brother on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think I fully understand just how cool it is to have both of them out there with me,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I know when I leave Maranatha, it&#8217;s something I&#8217;ll not only miss, but something I will always cherish as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His parents are incredibly proud of their son.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kwon isn&#8217;t the kind of person who wants attention, and is quick to give credit to others,&#8221; Antoine Peterson said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a blessing to be on the field with my son and it&#8217;s something I wouldn&#8217;t trade anything in the world for.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Peterson understands and embraces the fact that his entire team is counting on him each week to make plays, but he&#8217;s humble enough to say he is nothing without his teammates and appreciates everyone for doing their jobs and for their production.<\/p>\n<p>He says that Valley Christian, the defending CIF champions are the team to beat and that if Maranatha wants to win an Olympic League title, they have to focus 24\/7 not only at practice, but also not taking plays off during their games.<\/p>\n<p>So far, he&#8217;s gotten a little interest from schools at the next level, but it isn&#8217;t nearly what it should be based on his body, arm, character and talent.<\/p>\n<p>Azusa Pacific might be a great fit for him, especially considering his dad went to school there and he&#8217;d be able to continue his education at a faith-based school.<\/p>\n<p>One of his more admirable traits is how much he admired and took notes of those who came before him.<\/p>\n<p>Peterson and his teammates finally lost their first game last Saturday in a blowout at Brentwood and they&#8217;re looking to avenge that loss when they host Poly (3-1-1) on Thursday at 7.<\/p>\n<p>His season is only at the half-way point, and despite not looking too far ahead, Peterson said he hopes to be remembered as a guy\/teammate that would do anything to help his team win games, and simply that he was a nice guy.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, he wants his teammates and coaches to know how much they mean in his life, especially four-time CIF championship coach Steve Bogan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He believed in me from the beginning and I&#8217;ll always appreciate that,&#8221; Peterson said. &#8220;He&#8217;s always trying to make me better on and off the field, and he&#8217;s just a great man. I&#8217;ve learned a lot from him as a quarterback and as a young man, and I&#8217;ll always be grateful for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quotable:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Maranatha coach Steve Bogan:<\/strong> &#8220;Kwon is simply a &#8220;solid&#8221; young man with great values, from a great family. He fits well the saying that &#8220;the apple doesn&#8217;t fall from the tree.&#8221;He&#8217;s a calm yet focused player. He stays cool and calm in virtually all situations. He is a &#8220;poker face&#8221; type player. You can&#8217;t really tell the score by looking at him. He plays hard, smart, calm and focused and regardless of the score.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maranatha sophomore Jacob Moreno:<\/strong> &#8220;He is a great guy, and a super nice kid. He&#8217;s funny and jokes around, but when it comes to playing football, he is a born leader. Kwon is very posed and never crumbles under pressure. I respect everything about him not only a leader, but a person to look up to. I appreciate how he&#8217;s able to clam us down at any time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maranatha senior Awan Parker:<\/strong> &#8220;He&#8217;s the best quarterback in the area, without a doubt, He&#8217;s a a hard worker and is always wanting to throw deep balls after two and a half hour practices. Kwon is a great teammate as well, and is always uplifting the players without yelling at them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maranatha senior Chandler Auguste:<\/strong> &#8220;He&#8217;s just a great kid off the field and an incredible player and teammate on the field. One thing I respect about him is he doesn&#8217;t have to be a leader through his words he can be one through his actions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting To Know Kwon Peterson:<\/strong><br \/>\nFavorite Team: Pittsburgh Steelers<br \/>\nFavorite Athlete: Marcus Mariota<br \/>\nFavorite Movie: The Death Race<br \/>\nMusical Artist People Might Be Surprised I like: The Chainsmokers<br \/>\nFamous Person (Alive or Dead) I&#8217;d Most Want A Conversation With: Louis Zamperini<\/p>\n<p><strong>2017 Maranatha Schedule\/Results:<\/strong><br \/>\nAugust 25: Maranatha 34, Rim of the World 7<br \/>\nSeptember 1: Maranatha 36, Pasadena 21<br \/>\nSeptember 8: Maranatha 42, Azusa 7<br \/>\nSeptember 15: Maranatha 7, Campbell Hall 3<br \/>\nSeptember 23: Brentwood 42, Maranatha 3<br \/>\nSeptember 28: Poly at Maranatha at 7<br \/>\nOctober 6: Maranatha at Valley Christian at 7<br \/>\nOctober 13: Maranatha at Fillmore at 7<br \/>\nOxtover 20: Whittier Christian at Maranatha at 7<br \/>\nOctober 27: Heritage Christian at Maranatha at 7<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By BRIAN REED-BAIOTTO, Sports Editor The title of this story kind of says it all.
