Coaches Corner
What's this team's biggest strength?
“OL/DL. Waugh and Ravitz return as starters on both lines and we will rely heavily on their leadership to bring the other newcomers along.”
What's this team's potential weakness or challenge they could face?
“Inexperience on both sides of the ball. We graduated 81% of our scoring and yardage from last season.We also lost 4/5 top tacklers from last season. Need to fill many voids as quickly as possible.”
Do you have any team tradition(s):
“16/18 years Upper Dublin has qualified for the 4A or 5A playoffs.”
Expectations when the team is on offense?
“Being young with 8/11 new faces on O, ball control will be key. We will try to shorten the games early by keeping the ball away from our tough non-league schedule opponents, while we find our identity as we enter the Continental gauntlet.“
Expectations when the team is on defense?
“With 7/11 new faces we will try to use our athleticism while we figure out who we really are on defense.”
What game(s) are the biggest on the schedule, and why?
“All of them we don’t have any weeks off being the 5A in the 6A conference.”
What's a bold prediction for the team or any specific player(s)?
“Ravitz and Williams could be the best 1-2 punch at tight end since Rapine and Barrett back in 2015.”
