Q&A with Great Valley linebacker Jake Ruppert

How did the high school football season go overall?
“The football season individually was a big let-down. I broke my leg in the second game of the season after starting 1-0 and having an all-around good first game.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“As of right now as a team, we are working out three days a week as a team, and 2 days a week I am seeing my personal trainer. My trainer, Justin Golden, is getting me right.”

What are you trying to improve on the most as a player?
“Right now as a player, I am trying my best to improve upon my speed. My strength and size are definitely my strong suits. Either way, I’m never satisfied.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?

“I want to play football in college. My dream has always to play somewhere division 1. However, I’d be happy to play anywhere, at any level.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“No, I haven’t made any official visits. I went to Delaware for a camp last year and I loved it.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“I will 100% be going back to Delaware for a camp over the summer. Hopefully I will be going on visits soon.”

“As a player, I mainly just want to improve my ability to read the field way better and have better situational awareness.”

“Next season, I think our biggest threat is Rustin. I only say so because when we played them, they were a very tough team. They had some great kids all around.”

“No, I have not made any college trips yet.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“I plan on taking many this upcoming year.”

Q&A with Unionville linebacker Nate Holt

How did the high school football season go overall?

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“Simply, I plan to get bigger, stronger, and faster. I've been in the weight room and also have been working on my speed and agility too. Increasing my physicality is also a big part in training for me.”

“I do want to play sports in college, especially football.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?

Q&A with Coatesville offensive guard Jake Walton

How did the high school football season go overall?
“Overall, my football season certainly had its ups and downs, but overall it went very well. We overcame a lot of adversity and injuries throughout the season and made it all the way to the District 1 Championship. I’m really proud of my offensive line group as well. With all of us being first year starters, many people believed that we would be the teams’ weakest link and that we wouldn’t be able to run the ball. We got better and better each week and became a pivotal factor in our playoff run, including a performance which over 300 yards rushing versus a stingy Central Bucks West defense. Everyone doubted us this year and we proved all of those people wrong by making it back to the District 1 championship for the third year in a row.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“My plan for this offseason is to get stronger every day in the weight room and do everything I can to get better for my senior season.”

What are you trying to improve on the most as a player?
“The main things I’m trying to improve on this offseason is my technique and quickness.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“Next year, I believe Coatesville will still be the team to beat in the Ches-Mont League. We lost multiple key starters from last year’s team, including all-state players Ricky Ortega and Dapree Bryant, but we have younger players ready to prove themselves. With three returning starters and two promising rising sophomores, our offensive line looks to dominate the run game this year. Our team is going to look a lot different than the Coatesville teams of recent years. We’re going to have to work a lot harder to put points on the board, but we know we’re still capable of dominating teams. We plan to prove those who doubt us wrong and make another deep playoff run, as we did last season.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule next season?
“Our toughest game next season will most likely be against Downingtown East. They’re an extremely physical team that can run the ball very well. It’s always a heated rivalry game whenever we play Downingtown East, and we definitely have a chip on our shoulder after losing a very close game to them last year. We certainly are looking forward to our rematch with Downingtown West after losing to them in the District 1 championship.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Playing football in college has been a dream for me since I started playing the game. I would love the opportunity to play at the next level, no matter what division.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“So far, I’ve talked to coaches from the University of Pennsylvania and Yale.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“No, I have not made any college trips yet.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“I’m planning on taking visits in the spring and attending camps at different schools over the summer.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Growing up, I watched a lot of college football, but Penn State has always been my favorite team.”

How did the high school football season go overall?

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“For the off-season, I’m running winter and spring track. I’ll also be playing 7v7 and doing workouts with some of my coaches from school and different organizations.”

“I have many things that I need to work on to improve my game, but I mainly want to focus on increasing my speed and agility.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule next season?
“I think that our toughest opponent next year would probably be Garnet Valley.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?

Q&A with Wyomissing Area defensive tackle Steven Olexy

How did the high school football season go overall?
“It was actually a surprise this year. We knew we had the talent, but I never thought we were going to go this far with winning the District 3 championship against Middletown and falling short to Tamaqua in the state quarterfinal.

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule next season?

We go up in the coal region and play them up there and it’s really hard to win at their stadium because they always make it tough on our team. Southern Columbia because they have a tradition on winning district championships and winning state championships, and they’ve been doing that every year. They haven’t lost a game since the 2016 state championship against Steel Valley and they are well coached like our team is. They also run the same offense we run, and they have some players we never faced so it might be tough of us. Conrad Weiser because we used to have a long-time rivalry with them a long time ago before we were rivals with Berks Catholic. This team always plays teams tough on their home field and will make it tough to win at.”
