John Petercuskie passes; one of Neshaminy's greatest coaches

John Petercuskie, Neshaminy's head coach from 1960 to 1965, co-head coach in 1958 and 1959 and then assistant to Harry Franks from 1954 to 1957, passed yesterday. He was loved by his boys back then and right on through to the present as the guys on his teams have stayed very close with each other and coach too.

'Cuskie was part of that crew of great men who were from the "Coal region" of PA (he was from Old Forge) that managed to find their way to Neshaminy during the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s (including Franks, Johnny Swartz and Pete Cordelli to name a few). With each of them a football man to the core that group (and others) were instrumental in reshaping the 'Skins from their original "smaller school" status of the '30s and '40s to that of a dominant large school force in Eastern PA and beyond by the time they had finished their work.

During his tenure as an assistant (1954 to 1957) Neshaminy was 33-6-1 and while 'Cuskie was a co-head coach (1958 and 1959) the 'Skins posted an 18-2-1 record. From 1960 through 1965, as the sole head honcho, 'Cuskie's teams were 59-1-5 (the only loss was to Easton, 13-7, with the Dawgs pulling off a Hail Mary pass with just minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of that 1961 game).

Neshaminy's record during the 1954 through 1965 years 'Cuskie was coaching there was 110-9-7 (and during the last 51 games he coached following the Easton loss his teams went 47-0-4 and created "The Streak").

And taking on everybody they could find the 'Skins played teams like Easton, both Allentown schools, Liberty, Central Dauphin, Muhlenberg, Eddystone, Altoona, Johnson City, NY, Ambler (when they were tearing up the BuxMont), La Salle (when it was pushing the PCL around), Bishop Egan (which by the mid-60s was a PCL topper), Pleasantville and Delaware Township, NJ (both of them NJ mid-state powers back then) along with the locals like Pennridge, Pennsbury, Woodrow Wilson (when it was making noise), etc.

He stayed a fan of the Redskins to the end and the community was his biggest fan too. He'll be missed by the entire Neshaminy family.

Central Catholic defensive back Dominic Dodson
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“The majority of colleges that have been recruiting me are Division I FCS. I currently have two offers from Columbia and Cornell. I have received the majority of the interest from Ivy League schools, and I believe that one of these Universities is where I want to end up for the next four years.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“The school that is recruiting me the hardest is Columbia. They were the first school to show major interest, and the first school to offer me. The interest is mutual as well. I’m a city-guy, so college in New York City is a great pitch for myself personally. I truly appreciate everything this staff has done to reach out to me and express their interest. Expect some big news coming soon regarding this school.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I have made a fair amount of college visits over the past few months. Namely, I’ve visited Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Bucknell, St. Francis, Penn, Princeton, and a couple others. I really enjoyed all of these visits and the hospitality of all of the coaching staffs.”

What camps are you going to this summer?
“I haven’t quite mapped out my plans for summer camp yet. The only camp I am 100% going to is Columbia because of a promise I made to their coach. But as far as other camps, I am not entirely sure yet.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“I had two favorite colleges growing up. I’m originally from West Virginia, so I grew up as a WVU fan. But from a personal standpoint, I never wanted to attend that school, I was simply just an athletics fan. Since about seventh grade, I became obsessed with Harvard and the Ivy League. I wanted to make it one of my goals to make it to a school like that, and now thanks to my development at Central Catholic as a player and a student, that goal is now much closer.”

Q&A with Cheltenham defensive end Marcus Winfield

What have you been doing as of late with your workouts?

Also, we have a lot of young, talented players that can do damage.”

What do you feel you have improved on the most since football ended?
“Since the end of my junior season, I started kicking off of the ground to prepare for college. That was tough at the beginning, but I learned quickly and have got my distance back and am consistent.”

What are your areas of focus going forward?

“I’ll be attending the Toledo camp, NC State camp, and a few others that aren’t set yet.”

Q&A with Pennridge offensive tackle Joel Hartzell

What have you been doing as of late with your workouts?
“We’ve been doing a lot both physically and mentally every day during our workouts. Not only are we on a strict lifting schedule, but we are also studying plays and techniques to get prepared for this summer and the upcoming season.”

What do you feel you have improved on the most since football ended?
“I think I’ve definitely improved the most on my strength. In the past three months, my bench has gone up by 35 pounds, squat by 20 pounds, and clean by 55 pounds.”

What are your areas of focus going forward?
“This summer, I really want to focus on my endurance and overall fitness. I want to cut fat and gain speed and muscle that will take me to where I want to be.”

How do you believe your team will be next season?
“I think our team will be great this year. We have ten returning starters and a lot of younger guys willing to step up and do big things this season. One thing I think that sets us apart from other teams is the brotherhood on our team. This winter, we’ve all come together and created a family of players and coaches. I think that will give us a huge advantage this fall.”

What is the toughest game on your schedule for 2018?
“I think our toughest game this year will be week four against North Penn. They always have a really good team, but we are all willing to put in the work to come out on top.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I would love to play football in college.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“As of now, I don’t have any schools looking at me, but I can’t wait to be able to get my name out there this season and show them everything I got.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“The only college I’ve visited was Widener University. They invited me down for a game in November.”

What camps are you going to this summer?
“This summer, I plan on going to a camp at Temple University, Lincoln University, and a Big Man Competition where I will compete against other squads of linemen from around the area.”

Q&A with Pennsbury offensive tackle Brian Malinowski

What have you been doing as of late with your workouts?
“I have been weight training three days a week and conditioning four days a week.”

What do you feel you have improved on the most since football ended?
“Pass protection. I have been working to perfect my craft in pass pro. I struggled a little with any inside moves, but this year, I feel like it won't be a problem. With that being said, I feel like I will be a more well-rounded lineman this year by being able to dominate in the passing game as well as the run game.”

What are your areas of focus going forward?
“I have been focused on recruiting for the past three to months.”

How do you believe your team will be next season?
“I believe our team should be pretty good. We have a lot of new starters coming in that saw some action last year that are more than ready to compete.”

What is the toughest game on your schedule for 2018?
“I believe the toughest game on our schedule will be North Penn. They are the only team on our schedule last year that we did not beat. We lost to Neshaminy in the last game of the year, but beat them where it meant most.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, I will be playing college football.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“Currently I have one offer from Morgan State. I am talking to a large number of FCS schools and several FBS schools.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“Yes. So far, I have been to Monmouth, Morgan State, Rutgers, Virginia, Navy and will be taking a visit to Toledo.”

What camps are you going to this summer?
“The camps I will most likely be going to this summer are Temple, Rutgers, Virginia, Duke, and the PSR showcase where I received an early Invite to the finals.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“I have always loved the WVU Mountaineers.”

Q&A with Central Bucks East running back Jake Ventresca

What have you been doing as of late with your workouts?
“I am currently in lacrosse season right now where six of the seven days of the week are taken up by games and practices. Any extra time I get I am doing a light lifting to keep my baseline up for football season.”

What do you feel you have improved on the most since football ended?
“Since the end of football season, I have already gained 20-pounds and progress in the weight room has gotten my bench, squat, and deadlift up in weight.”

What are your areas of focus going forward?
“Going forward, I'm looking to improve on my defensive skills as a d-back since I don't have much experience there yet. On offense, I need to improve my game as a power running back and not just be a speed back.”

How do you believe your team will be next season?
“Our team is always shooting for playoffs every year. Next year, especially, our coach wants a state champion. I've seen what has been going on in the weight room and what coach has us doing. I got some high hopes of going far this year.”

What is the toughest game on your schedule for 2018?
“North Penn is usually the toughest team we play, but the games against our rivals, CB West and CB South, are always the toughest. The rivalry brings out the best in both teams.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I would love to play sports in college. I would say my favorite sport is football, but I also love lacrosse and would be lucky to play either.”

Have you made any college trips yet?

Neshaminy opens with North Penn

Some of the local teams 2018 grid schedules are set and available with Langhorne’s one of them. And in what should be plenty of fun the ‘Skns host the Knights in the season opener for both.

Following North Penn Neshaminy then hits the road for Perkasie and Pennridge before rounding out its N-L match-ups with another road trip that sees the ‘Skins visiting D-Town West.

And I wasn’t able to locate the rest of North Penn’s non-league schedule but a few of its Conference games are in place.

Anybody got any other schedules?
