The 2012 North Rangers football media guide is intended to be a

comprehensive navigational tool for all those who follow the program or

cover it for a local media outlet. The information obtained should provide

a glimpse back into the history of the North football program, a detailed

account of last year’s 7-3 season, a preview of this year’s schedule and a

look at all the players and coaches who will make up the orange and

black this fall.

This media guide would not be possible without the time and assistance of

many, starting with Rangers head coach George Burich . Access to

statistics, school records, team information and availability for interviews

with assistant coaches and players was paramount in the completion of

the media guide.

In addition, thanks to all who provided information on administrators, past

teams and players, etc. There are too many to name individually. A huge

debt of gratitude goes out to the “architect” of the media guide, Ed

Daugherty . Without Daugherty’s hard work, passion, professionalism, talent

and creativity, this would be nothing more than a concept instead of a

tangible document. Good luck to Coach Burich and North as the season

kicks off August 24 at Brush. Go Rangers.

REGIONAL MEDIA

Dennis Reilly is starting his fourth year as the

Athletic Director at North High School. Reilly

is a graduate of near-by Mentor High (1992)

and earned his degree in special education /

elementary education from Bowling Green

State University in 1997.

In the same year he graduated from BGSU,

Reilly joined the Willoughby-Eastlake School

District, taking a job as a teacher and coach at Willowick Middle

School in 1998.

Reilly coached basketball and tennis from 1998-2001 at Willowick

Middle School before moving to North High School to take a job as a

special education teacher, a position he still holds today.

Reilly was the head coach of the varsity boys’ basketball team from

2004-2007. He was the assistant athletic director from 2007-2009. In 2009,

he succeeded Jim Miller as North’s AD when Miller stepped down prior

to the start of the school year.

Reilly is married and has three children. His father, Jim, is the

scorekeeper for the Rangers basketball team and his brother, Jimmy, is

a well-respected OHSAA basketball referee in the area.

Dennis Reilly


ADMINISTRATION

The Willoughby-Eastlake School District also has set a goal to end fiscal

year 2013 with a positive cash balance of at least $8.5 million.

When Jennifer Chauby was hired by Willoughby-

Eastlake in 1998, she taught 9th grade science,

chemistry and physics.

During her tenure as a teacher in the district,

she also coached tennis and volleyball as well

as serving as class advisor, rocket club advisor

and robotics team coach. In 2004-2005, Chauby

was named Lubrizol Lake County Science Teacher of the Year.

In 2006 she was promoted to assistant principal at South High School,

and in 2008 she was named the principal at North.

Chauby grew up in Willoughby, where she attended Edison Elementary,

Willoughby Middle School and graduated from South High School. She

went on to Lakeland Community College where she played fastpitch

softball and earned her Associates Degree.

Chauby then transferred to Cleveland State University where she

earned her Bachelor’s Degree, Teacher Certification, Master’s Degree

and Superintendent’s License. She is currently working on her PhD at

Kent State University

Chauby has been married to her husband Mike for twenty years. They

live in Chardon with their three sons - Matthew age 17, Michael age 16

and Marcus age 11.

Chauby believes that all students should be involved in some type of

extracurricular activity, and supports sports, academic extracurriculars,

community involvement and other student clubs.

That is why North offers over 45 extracurricular opportunities for students

ranging from Academic Decathlon to Volunteers Club.

She instills in her students, teachers and staff that, “Getting involved and

staying involved is the key to an enjoyable and successful high school

career.”

Before coming to the Willoughby-Eastlake School District in the summer

of 2011, Steve Thompson served as the superintendent at Chagrin Falls

Exempted Village Schools for four years and as the superintendent at

West Liberty-Salem Local Schools for six years prior to that.

Thompson - who was given a five-year contract, replaced Keith Miller -

who retired after 26 years as superintendent at Willoughby-Eastlake.

Thompson is a 1989 graduate of Heidelberg College, where he earned

a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Teaching.

Thompson is on record as saying a major accomplishment at Chagrin

Falls he was proud of was the creation and implementation of the

Bridges to the World project, with student exchanges in China and

another in South Africa.

Thompson is now in charge of a district that has 8,500 students and 14

schools. There are eight elementary schools, three middle schools and

three high schools (Eastlake North, Willoughby South and the Technical

Center) in the district.

The North Rangers are honoring the 40th

anniversary of the 1972 Greater Cleveland

Conference championship team; a team

that set a school record with a 9-1 season.

This fall, the Rangers will wear the same

style "N" on their helmets as the 1972 team

wore in their record-setting season.

The 1972 Rangers, led by legendary

coach Vic McIntire, won the outright GCC

crown for the first time since 1962. The

Rangers were finally able to hang the

championship banner in 1972, after

finishing second in both 1970 and 1971.

The Rangers were led by a dominating

defense - dubbed by one local

sportswriter as "The Big Orange Crush".

North allowed a mere 47 points in 10

games, posted three shutouts and didn't

give up more than eight points to any

team during the season.

The Rangers only loss came to Midpark, a

7-0 defeat in Week 6. NOrth responded by

winning four straight to close the year.

A 29-0 blasting of Berea in the final week

of the season clinched the outright GCC

championship for North, but unfortunately

and surprisingly it was not enough to get

the Rangers into the Ohio High School

Athletic Association postseason

tournament.

1972 marked the first time the OHSAA had

sanctioned a post-season tournament for

football, and the governing body used a

mathematical calculation developed by

a local man.

Only the top team in each of the four

regions of a given division (in 1972 only 3

divisions were recognized by the OHSAA)

were given a berth in the state semi-final

game.

The award for the player who best embodies

what it means to be a North Ranger and put all

individual recognition aside is the Brian

Weitzman Award.

On September 11, 1978, Brian Weitzman died in

an airplane crash along with his father, his

brother, Mitchell, and three others. Weitzman

was a senior at the time and was co-captain

and starting center for the football team.

He served as officer for the junior class council.

He was described as an excellent athlete, true

sportsman and a friend

Bruce Yee played defensive middle guard as a

sophomore at North and then played tackle on

the varsity. At the beginning of summer

practice prior to the start of his senior season

with the Rangers, Yee succumbed to leukemia.

Yee was highly respected among teammates

and coaches. The Booster Club established the

Bruce Yee Memorial Plaque for the lineman

of the year. The criteria for being selected goes

beyond the football field. The winner is to be

chosen based on leadership, friendliness,

sportsmanship, desire, team spirit, cleanliness,

loyalty, honesty and trustworthiness.

A popular park and softball field also bear

Bruce Yee's name in Eastlake.

Ranger Honors

Warren Howland

Cleveland St Joseph

Berea

Three awards are given out by the North

coaching staff at the end of every season that

have much more meaning than the usual MVP

award might represent.

That's because of the three former Rangers

football players for whom these honors are

named for.

The Jeffrey Neumann Award has been

established to honor Neumann and the award

is given to the team's top offensive or defensive

back of the year.

Neumann, a starting cornerback for the

Rangers in 2006, drowned at Mentor Headlands

Beach on July 11, 2007 - just weeks before two-

a-day practices for his senior season were set to

begin. Neumann was a talented defensive

back and a popular player at North. His tragic

and unexpected death rocked the program.

This is the fifth year anniversary of Neumann's

passing.

In 1972, only the top team in each region

qualified for the OHSAA football playoffs.

NORTH RANGERS

We have had a guest speaker

come in and talk about what

soldiers go through in war. The

kids really respond to it. It is a big

community project as well and

the commitment from everyone

at North High School has been

great.

Rangers Embrace Wounded Warrior Project

It goes back to when I was in 9th grade and

Coach (Dan) Kukura would always break the

huddle and say, 'Repeat after me - Believe in

myself, believe in my teammates, believe in a

win.'

That really stuck with me, especially because

my father was my coach in youth football and

those words really spoke to me and pushed me

and I tried to do things that way.

When I got here at North, it wasn't a philosophy

that was used, but when I took over as head

coach, I knew it was something I wanted to

bring back and stress to our guys. I shortened it

up to BSTW once in a practice plan and it took

off from there.

The North Rangers are one of about 100 high

schools nationwide who have supported the

Wounded Warrior Project the past few years in

an effort to raise $100,000 to help injured

veterans from the time they finish surgery all the

way through to their daily life out of service.

North's team goal the first year in 2010 was to

raise $2,500. The Rangers defeated Bishop Ryan

in the first game dedicated to supporting

military veterans two years ago and surpassed

that goal by raising close to $3,000 for the

project.

North raised $6,372.25 in donations leading up

to its Military Appreciation Game to benefit the

Wounded Warrior Project on September 9, 2011.

In that game, the Rangers whipped visiting

Midpark, 62-14, to improve to 2-0 when wearing

camouflage jerseys in honor of the Wounded

Warrior Project.

North coach George Burich has a greater

respect for the military than many high school

football coaches in Northeast Ohio for the

simple fact that he has family ties to armed

forces.

Burich's brother, Mike, is currently serving in the

military and his late father, George, was a

Vietnam veteran.

So when the idea of supporting

the Wounded Warrior Project

was brought to Burich's

attention three years ago, it

didn't take long for the Rangers

to get on board with their coach

and get behind the worthy cause.

This marks the third year of wearing the

camouflage jerseys and raising money and

awareness for injured military veterans. Military

appreciation night for North is September 21 vs.

Riverside.

The first year we raised $3,000 and last year we

raised more than $6,000 and we just hope that

it gets better and better each year,” Burich

said.

For the players, I think it is a special thing for the

kids, and it's not something other schools do.

We don't necessarily get a lot of fanfare or

attention from it, but we are hoping more

awareness is spread and more schools get

behind the project.

In the past, donations have been accepted

and collected in the stands by freshman

football players and cheerleaders. The

proceeds from the 50-50 raffle will be donated

to the project. Wounded Warrior Project T-shirts

are sold.

For more information or to find out more about

how you can support the Wounded Warrior

Project, contact North coach George Burich at

440-975-3688 or e-mail

[email protected].

Theories have ranged on the meaning of the

four letters on the North gear for years. Many

have guessed it had something to do with the

rival school in Willoughby - Beat South This

Week was popular guess. Be Strong To Win was

another familiar guess at the meaning behind

the letters.

But Burich said it's more of a philosophy and an

approach than a phrase shortened to an

acronym and it is one that he continues to

bring up and pound into the psyche of every

players in the orange and black.

First we tell them to believe in themselves,

because if you don't have self-belief you can

do something, you can't help your team. Next

you have to believe in your teammates and

have faith in them as much as you have faith in

your individual abilities. If you do that, you have

to believe wins will come. It's something that

always rang very true with me and I wanted to

make it a part of this program.

BSTW - More Than Letters

BSTW more than just an acronym for the

Rangers

If you’ve ever seen a North player wearing an

orange and black shirt with the four letters

“BSTW” on it and wondered what it stood for,

it’s probably not what you think. If you’ve never

seen the letters on any Rangers apparel, all you

have to do is get stuck behind Coach George

Burich in traffic and there it is - on his vanity

license plate.

Believe in Self, Believe in Teammates, Believe in

a Win.

BSTW.

NORTH RANGERS

Ben Josipovic was Gresko's

main target in the spread

attack last year and he

returns for his senior season

as one of the most talented

athletes on the roster.

Josipovic earned numerous

postseason honors by

catching 69 passes for 1,020

yards in 2011.

However, with the graduation of a four-year starter like Gresko,

Burich will change things up on offense and try Josipovic at

quarterback.

Junior running back Mike Ranallo is 5-foot-9, 180 pounds, and

should be the team's featured back this season after an

impressive junior varsity campaign.

A.J. Strnad is a senior that will play slot receiver on offense.

At 6-foot-5, junior Anton Vrabec

should become a favorite target

in the Rangers' passing attack.

And Vrabec has emerged as a

solid backup QB option.

The offensive line is a complete new unit and will be tested

because of a lack of experience.

However, Burich characterized this year's team as "tough kids,

who aren't dirty, play the game the right way, but don't take

anything from anybody." That attitude will benefit a young

group during the competitive PAC schedule.

Defensively, Austin Gomez

(6-2, 220 pounds) returns to

anchor the defensive line.

Strnad was steady at safety

last year and will move to

cornerback. The challenge

will be to replace standouts

such as linebacker Brennan

Torok and cornerback Nick

Vogel - both of whom were

selected to play in the 2012

News-Herald Senior Bowl.

Burich said overall the 2012

team is a mix of size and speed. Not huge, but not small. Not

slow, but not blazing fast either.

The key to the 2012 season is young players and some unknown

names stepping up and making an impact.

Jospiovic will be counted on heavily in whatever role he is in on

offense, but the spread attack is not a one-man show. Gresko

wouldn’t have finished his career with the eye-popping

numbers he had if not for the offensive line doing its job, the

running game providing balance, and being fortunate to play

with talented receivers on the outside.

The 2012 Rangers will need a collective team effort to reach

their goals and follow up the success of 2011. It was a

productive and promising summer, and the chemistry and

attitude seem good.

But as Burich said, it’s time to see it all be put together on the

varsity field on Friday nights. The test starts August 24th at Brush.

Which unknown Rangers are ready to step up and make a

name for themselves? Find out over the next 10 weeks.


2012 SEASON PREVIEW

It's a new year, and almost a

brand new look for the North

Rangers.

North is coming off a 2011

campaign that ended with a

7-3 record and just short of

the program's first-ever playoff berth. It was the most wins for the

football team since 1994.

A lot of that success had to do with a strong senior class,

including record-setting quarterback George Gresko. North

coach George Burich recognizes it won't be easy to replace the

27 seniors who graduated from last year's successful team, and

there are only four returning starters, and of the four, only one

will play the same position he played in 2012.

But the optimism remains on Stevens Boulevard that some new

faces in new places will step up this fall and keep the Rangers

as a contender in the Premier Athletic Conference.

In 2011, the PAC again expanded, adding Geneva and University, and

all eight schools now play a more traditional seven-conference game

schedule in weeks 4 through 10. Riverside athletic director George

Bellios has commendably served as Premier Athletic Conference

commissioner since 1998

South has dominated the conference in football with seven

championships in the first 14 seasons, and the Rebels have won the last

four titles in a row. Geneva, Lakeside, North and University will head into

the 2012 season in search of their first PAC crown in football.

The Premier Athletic Conference was formed in 1998 with five original

members - Chardon, Madison, North, Riverside and South. The Rangers,

along with long-time rival the Rebels, arrived in the new league from the

Greater Cleveland Conference.

The football schedule for the newly formed conference was unique and

posed some scheduling difficulties early on because each school had

just four conference games and had to find six non-conference

opponents, including one in the second half of the year when most

teams are in the midst of their own conference schedule.

In 2007, Ashtabula Lakeside was added to the Premier Athletic

Conference to give the teams an even number with six schools.

NORTH RANGERS

2012 Premier Athletic Conference Teams The Classic at Classic Park

Chardon Hilltoppers NORTH RANGERS The Lake County Captains, the class A affiliate of

the Cleveland Indians, will host the first ever high

school football game at Classic Park on Friday,

October 26 at 7 p.m. as the North Rangers and

South Rebels will meet in "The Border Battle at

Classic Park."

The baseball field at Classic Park will be

transformed into a football field with one end zone

in front of the first base dugout and the other end

zone in front of the left field bleachers. This is a

similar configuration to the game that was played

at Wrigley Field in 2011 between Northwestern and

Illinois. Due to limited space behind the left field

end zone, the game will be played in a similar

fashion as the contest that was played at Wrigley

Field, in that the offensive team will switch

directions on the field once they reach the 30 yard

line while heading toward the bleachers.

“We have been looking into playing a football

game at Classic Park for several years and after

reviewing several field configurations, it was

determined that the proposed layout will

maximize the fan experience for this historic

rivalry,” Captains general manager Brad Seymour

said.

Tickets go on sale August 24 at the Classic Park

box office, online at CaptainsBaseball.com and by

phone at 440-954-WINS (9467). Reserved seats are

$8 in advance and $10 on the day of the game.

“We are excited for the opportunity to christen

Classic Park to football with one of the best rivalry

games in Northeast Ohio,” North coach George

Burich said.

Both schools will be offering VIP party packages

that include preferred seating and a pre-game

buffet for only $40. A limited number of party suites

are also available for $560, which includes 16

game tickets and seating in the climate

controlled Party Suite level of Classic Park.

NORTH RANGERS

Nick Carter Stadium

George Finnie Stadium, located on the campus of

Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, is a premier

stadium on the non-Division I college level used

for a multitude of sports, but primarily for football

and track and field. The Baldwin-Wallace Yellow

Jacket men’s and women’s soccer teams also

play at Finnie and the stadium has hosted

women’s softball games.

In addition, Finnie Stadium is the home field for

both Berea High School and Midpark High School

(Middleburgh Heights). Finnie Stadium has hosted

three NCAA Division III national championship

track meets, several Ohio High School Athletic

Association football playoff games as well as

being a regional and state championship site for

Tressell Field at

George Finnie Stadium


NICK CARTER STADIUM

Nick Carter Stadium, located on

the Northeast part of the Eastlake

North High School campus, was

built in 1959. Originally, the

stadium was home to both North

and the other member of the

Willoughby-Eastlake School

District - the South Rebels - until

1963 when South built its own

facility. The Rebels play their

home games at Harry E. Winters

Stadium in Willoughby.

Nick Carter Stadium is home to

the North Rangers football team,

the North boys and girls soccer

squads and boys and girls tract

teams at the school. The stadium

seats 5,500 and the surface is

natural grass.

The annual Ranger Relays are run

at Nick Carter Stadium each

spring, one of the marquee track

and field events in Northeast

Ohio.

The stadium is named after Nick

Carter, who was a head football

coach and served as North’s

athletic director from 1959-1977

and it was formally dedicated to

Carter prior to the start of the

1978 season.

Carter was one of the original

North High Athletic Hall of Fame

inductees in 2007.

Others in the HOF Class of 2007

include Rangers icons like John

Matteucci, Vic McIntyre, Spark

Sankal, Tom Crowe and Russ

Nightengale.

Carter is also in the Perry High

School Athletic Hall of Fame.

From 1930 to 1932, Carter earned

nine varsity letters in football,

basketball and track at Perry for

the Pirates. During the 1932

football season, he carried the

ball 32 times in a row against

Mentor.

While attending Kent State

University, he lettered in

wrestling, football and track.

Carter reached the final trials for

the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Team,

narrowly missing the squad. His

opponent went on to take a

silver medal in Berlin in 1936.

Nick coached high school

football, basketball, baseball and

track in Painesville from 1952 to

1957.

Renovations are planned for Nick

Carter Stadium, including an

upgrade of the restrooms and

bleachers, and the addition of on-

site locker rooms. The current

locker rooms are located inside

the high school, not in the

stadium.

George Finnie Stadium was built in 1971 and was

dedicated in honor of the late B-W trustee for

whom it is named

At that time, SPIRE consisted of one 215,000 sq. ft. building housing a

synthetic turf field used as a full-size soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball,

softball, field hockey or rugby field and a multipurpose court surface for

volleyball courts, basketball courts, tennis, gymnastics and mat sports. In

the fall of 2010, a 7,000-seat synthetic turf football and soccer stadium with

a 400-meter track opened. Enhancements are still ongoing.


VISITING STADIUMS

Korb Field, located on the northeast

portion of the Brush High School campus

on Glenlyn Road in Lyndhurst, is a

multipurpose athletic facility used for

football, soccer and track.

Lakeside Stadium SPIRE Institute

Korb Field went through a state-of-the-art renovation that began in 1999

and was completed in 2000, which included installation of a new press

box, updating existing bleachers and going from natural grass to field turf.

Lakeside Stadium is the home to the Lakeside

Dragon. Built for the start of the 2006 season

with funds generated from a property tax levy,

the Dragons are 11-22 since the facility opened

six seasons ago.

Lakeside Stadium was the first stadium in Ashtabula County to have an

artificial playing surface – Sportex Field Turf in this case.

The field is ringed by an 8-lane track and the facility also features the

larges pressbox in Ashtabula County

The new Stadium features chairback reserve seating and handicap

accessible front row seats.

Lakeside Stadium replaces the aging former home of the Dragons.

George Albert ‘Chic’ Guarnieri Field (also known as Bula Field), located at

West Junior High had been used since World Warr II

Chardon Memorial Stadium was opened

in 2000. The stadium, located on the high

school campus adjacent to Chardon

Middle School, is home to the Chardon

Hilltoppers football team, and the boys

and girls soccer and track events.

The completed Memorial Stadium was built parallel to the previous home

of the Hilltoppers football team, but the construction of the new stadium 12

years ago eliminated the on-campus baseball stadium.

Korb Field Memorial Stadium

The stadium has an 8-lane, 400-meter polyurethane international track,

broadcast standard sound system, lighting and cabling, and an AstroTurf

3D infield that accommodates a FIFA sized soccer field, football and a

men’s/women’s lacrosse. The outdoor field at SPIRE has a spectator

capacity of 10,000, including 5,000 bleacher seats and 1,200 captain’s

chairs.

There are indoor concession areas servicing both sides of the stadium. In

addition, the players and coaches are treated to Pro-style home and

away locker rooms. The outdoor field is part of a world-class facility in

western Ashtabula County that was founded as part of the non-profit

Geneva Area Recreation, Education and Athletic Trust (GaREAT), SPIRE

Institute first opened its doors in 2009 as the GaREAT Sports Complex.

In 2005, the Arcs under Coach Jason Hall were undefeated (4-0) on the

Korb Field turf on the way to the school’s first football playoff berth. The

field is regarded as one of the best in Northeast Ohio and has been used

at a neutral site host for Ohio High School Athletic Association postseason

tournament games in football and boys and girls soccer.

Korb Field is also the home to Notre Dame College football, women’s

lacrosse, and men’s and women’s Soccer. Korb Field was the site of Notre

Dame College’s first game as a Division II program in August of 2010 - a

contest the Falcons lost to Mercyhurst, 23-0.

Covering nine acres at the state-of-the-

art SPIRE Institute in Geneva, the Eagles'

home stadium is a synthetic, multi-sport,

lighted field.

The original Astroplay surface at Memorial Stadium was replaced and

updated in the summer of 2009. The stadium has served as the host of

many Ohio High School Athletic Association playoff football games over

the years, and its state-of-the-art scoreboard and newly installed field turf

are generally recognized as among the best of their kind in the area.

Chardon defeated Maple Heights in a first-round playoff game at

Chardon Memorial Stadium in 2003, which was the first step in a march

toward the Division II state semifinals that postseason

Over the years, only a few changes have been

made to the original system. The OHSAA originally

began the playoffs in 1972 with just 3 divisions and

only 1 qualifying team from each of the four

regions within a division. A total of 12 teams made

the post-season in 1972.

Now, the field has been expanded to it's current

standard of 6 divisions with 8 teams qualifying from

each of the four regions in the division. A Total of

192 school participate in the OHSAA football post-

season.

Also, the third-level points, awarded the first two

years the Rating System was in place, was

eliminated prior to the 1974 season.

A former newspaper staffer and cash register

repair man from Willowick, Jack Harbin, is

essentially responsible for the playoff format used

by the OHSAA to decide its football

championships for the previous 40 years.

Harbin developed a mathmatical formula in the

1960's that is quite simple - a high school football

team earns points for every victory (or tie); then

also receives secondary points for every game a

defeated opponent wins (or ties). No points are

awarded for a loss on either level.

The OHSAA used the Harbin Rating System on a

trial basis in 1971 and in 1972 with the approval of

the Ohio High School Football Coach Association

and the OHSAA, the Board at the OHSAA officially

implemented Jack Harbin''s Rating System as the

offical determination of playoff-bound teams. No

longer would sports writers or polls determine the

state football champion.

2012 PLAYER PROFILES

NORTH RANGERS

A.J. Strnad, WR/DB

Burich comments on Strnad: “He is

a starting wide receiver and starting

cornerback for us. He is a guy who

gets after the football and can be

dangerous on both sides of the ball.

He is scrappy and he is going to

fight for the ball every play.

Strnad says: “I feel like if everybody puts in their 1/11th, we will all

be fine. Everybody has to fight for a position, and that is a good

thing for competition.”

There are plenty of new faces on both sides of the ball at North this

fall, but a quartet of returning starters will be key to the success of

the Rangers.

Seniors Ron Bolden, Austin Gomez, Ben Josipovic and A.J. Strnad

are the only holdovers in the starting lineup from last year's team

that went 7-3. With the graduation of 27 seniors off the 2011 squad,

Coach George Burich and his staff will look to Bolden, Gomez,

Josipovic and Strnad not only for production on the field, but for

leadership as well.

"I think the fact that they have some experience on the varsity level

is going to help them motivate their teammates," Burich said.

"Whether it as an extension of us as coaches or getting the team to

do things the right way, it is nice to have four guys like that who

care about the team and care about winning so much."

Ron Bolden, DB

Burich comments on Bolden: "Ron

isn't the biggest kid, but he is a wrestler,

he is a kid who gives 100 percent on

every play and really gets after the ball.

He is a good kid to have around the team,

too. He is kind of our team chaplain. He

does a lot with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. At the same

time, he is the guy who will get after his opponent and his

teammates when necessary."

Bolden says: "As returning starters, we need to set the mentality for

the rest of the team. We have a lot of new names and unproven

players and it is our responsibility to help them develop and

believe in their talent. I feel the four returning starters grew a lot

together, and even some of the other players on the team just

gained so much from the experience of last year. Now we have to

go out this season and get it done on the field."

Burich said the four returning starters have the attitude and mindset

to not take any nonsense from anyone and to play with a chip on

their shoulders. That personality has been taken on by the entire

Rangers team, which led Burich to call the 2012 team “the

toughest team I have coached”. The toughness starts with Bolden,

Gomez, Josipovic and Strnad.

“It’s how they are, it’s how their friends are and the team has

adopted a little of that toughness and will never back down from

anyone or any challenge,” Burich said.

Austin Gomez, OL/LB

Burich comments on Gomez: “Austin is

quiet around other people, but on the

team he is the guy who gets things going.

He is an extremely physical football player.

He played defensive end mostly last year,

but this year we moved him to outside linebacker

to get some drops and make people worry about coming

anywhere near his area on the field.”

Gomez says: “I think we all need to step up because we want to

win and we feel like we can win even if people are overlooking us.

As the four returning starters, we feel like leaders, but we also feel

like we mesh well together with the underclassmen. We are all

going to need to contribute this year.”

Ben Josipovic, QB/DB

Burich comments on Jospiovic: “Ben has

been a tremendous football player for us

for three years. He has proven to be a

fantastic offensive player and now he is

going to play defense for us as well.

When a guy who has Division I talent is

so unselfish that he is will to change positions and do what is best

for the team, that is a special kid to have around.”

Josipovic says: “We feel a certain responsibility because we

started and we were out there last year under the lights on Friday

nights, but this isn’t just our team. We feel like it is the whole senior

class’ team. The important thing is to lead by example. Just yelling

at someone doesn’t mean that much. We feel like we have talent,

and I know this team has a ton of heart.”

“My dad was really strict and he was hard on me, but he raised me right

and pushed me for the right reasons. He was very influential to me in my

personal and professional life and I think about him all the time.”

The goals on the field for Burich and the Rangers continue to be to strive

for the team’s first PAC championship and to try to qualify for a

postseason berth in the brutal Division I, Region 1 field that includes

defending state champion St Ignatius, St Edward, Solon, Mentor,

Glenville and rival South among annual contenders.

In 2011, Burich helped North jump out to a 5-0 start to the

season, threatening to make the Division I playoffs for the

first time in program history. The Rangers finished 7-3 and

missed the D-I, Region 1 field by a few spots, but it was the

most wins by a North football team since the early 1990s.

Burich coaches in the same manner he played - with a lot

of focus and passion. And being at the helm of his alma

mater’s football team is a responsibility he doesn’t take

lightly.

“The chance to coach at your alma mater is a dream

come true for me. It’s where I’ve always wanted to be. It’s

not exactly how I envisioned it happening, but I feel like

this is the right job for me.

Burich’s father passed away from a sudden heart attack on April 13,

2002. George Burich Jr was a marine and a Vietnam veteran and

someone who Burich had the utmost respect for as a father and as a

coach when he played in the youth leagues.

Burich spent one year at Maple Heights before coming

back home to Stevens Boulevard and joining North’s staff

in 1999. Using his defensive expertise, he quickly worked his

way up from defensive line coach to defensive

coordinator, and now - ironically - Burich is at the helm of

his team’s wide-open spread offense. Burich took over as

the offensive architect of the spread after former offensive

coordinator Kahari Hicks left before the 2011 season.

The love for the orange and black was planted at a young

age, which makes the opportunity to take over the

program and try to turn it in the right direction even that

much more special.

Burich has always loved football. While he thought about

teaching and coaching, Burich started off at Mercyhurst

studying sports medicine, but quickly realized that path

wasn’t for him. He became involved with special

education students and eventually earned a degree in the

field and has gone on to be a special education teacher

at the high school.

The George Burich File

I am where I belong. Life is strange sometimes and how I got the job

was a little weird, but it has been an enjoyable ride the last five years.

Coaching at your alma mater is just extra motivation to make sure

everything is done right.”

Burich - whose father, George, served in Vietnam and whose brother

Mike currently serves in the military - has been a proponent of the

Wounded Warrior project, which the Rangers will participate in for the

third year this fall. Burich has spearheaded several fundraising initiatives

for the program, including Night at the Races, which has been a major

success.

Defensively, North posted shutouts over Lakeside in Week 7 and against

Geneva in Week 9. Seniors Brennan Torok, Jeremy Lemieux and Mike Frank

and Kyle Holzheimer were among the standouts on the defensive side of

the ball for the Rangers. The Class of 2012 set the bar high for future players

at North on offense and defense, but Burich is confident in the youth

system and in the student-athletes currently in the program. While there will

be a lot of new faces this year after being hit hard by graduation, the

goals on Stevens Boulevard do not change. Challenging for the PAC

championship and that elusive Division I playoff berth is what all players

and coaches wearing orange and black this season will be striving for.

The campaign for the 2011 North Rangers started off with a record-

breaking night on the ground in the August heat and ended with a record-

breaking night on the ground in the mud in late October. The opening-

night rushing theatrics - provided by Rangers senior running back Jordan

Morris’ 304 yards and 3 TDs - got the season off to rousing start with a win

over highly touted Brush and sparked North to a 5-0 beginning for the fifth

time in school history and the third time in the last 38 years.

However, the Rangers hit a few bumps on the Premier Athletic Conference

road during the second half of the season, and the run into the record

books in the final game of the year was not accomplished by Morris, but

rather by All-Ohioan Kareem Hunt of rival South. Hunt’s 485-yard, 6-

touchdown game lifter the Rebels to a 45-26 victory and dropped the

Rangers to 7-3 on the season. The win locked South in to the playoffs as the

The loss ended North’s bid for a first-ever spot in Week 11, and closed the

career of record-setting quarterback George Gresko, Morris and a strong

senior class. The Rangers finished 12th in Division I, Region 1 - four places

behind the eighth and final seed Cleveland JFK for a spot in the playoffs.

The 2011 Rangers will forever be remembered as an exciting team to

watch, both offensively and defensively. With good athletes and high-

energy playmakers on both sides of the ball, North won 7 games in a

season for the first time since the early 1990s. The Rangers raced to a 5-0

start, scoring 193 points in those opening five victories - including PAC wins

over Chardon and Riverside.

A tough 27-20 loss on the road at Madison in Week 6 stopped the winning

streak. Gresko played through a shoulder injury that would require off-

season surgery and padded the passing records he had already owned at

the school due in large part to an eye-popping junior season. The hurry-up,

wide-open passing attack North utilizes not only allowed Gresko to pile up

big numbers and Morris - when healthy - to keep defenses off balance, but

it provided the ideal situation for a breakout year for an underclassmen

Burich and company will count heavily in 2012.

Wide receiver Ben Josipovic earned numerous postseason honors by

catching 69 passes for 1,020 yards. Josipovic is expected to move to

quarterback and take over the high-octane attack this fall.

It could also be described as an incredibly frustrating one considering how

close Coach George Burich’s talented North squad was to qualifying for

the Ohio High School Athletic Association postseason for the first time in

the program’s history.
