Lebo, Owens, Woodall, Hodge … Burk-holder.

That Burkholder name is about as synon-ymous with Carlisle sports as every other name on that list.

Rich Burkholder, 81, has been an edu-cator and athletic trainer at Carlisle High School since 1960, entering his 60th year in service in total this week and 59th with Carlisle Area School District.

And his son, Rick, who has served as head athletic trainer with the Philadelphia Ea-gles and now the Kansas City Chiefs, has worked more 20 years in the NFL building a strong reputation along the way. He at-tended the NFL Hall of Fame gold jacket dinner for Hall of Fame inductee and for-

mer Philadelphia Eagle Brian Dawkins this month. Hall of Fame inductee and former star receiver Terrell Owens thanked him during his unique acceptance speech the next day.

Even though Rick Burkholder wears red and gold for a living now in Kansas City, he and his father are about as green as white as any Thundering Herd alumni can get.

The Burkholders are a rarity in a profes-sion that has evolved dramatically since Rich joined the profession decades ago — they are a family athletic training dynasty.

“I put my heart and soul in the job, and Rick does, too,” said Rich, who often goes by the nickname “Burkie,” while work-ing from one of his workspaces under the

Carlisle High School football sta-dium bleachers during a recent fall preseason practice.

Tireless worker Rich’s story has been told a few

times over his decades of service at Carlisle High School. When you’re around this long — and had a front-row seat to the legendary 1980s teams and athletes — that’s bound to happen.

It also doesn’t hurt that he’s been a pioneer in athletic train-ing in Pennsylvania, one of the founding members of the Penn-sylvania Athletic Trainers Society.

Born during World War II, Rich graduated from Carlisle High School in 1955, then East Stroudsburg State College (now East Stroudsburg University) in 1959. His father did flooring and other home work for nearly 50 years then worked another seven years at his eldest son’s print shop. Rich’s brother served as a medical corpsman in Europe during World War II but did not serve in battle. He is nearly 14 years older than Rich, and a sister is 17 years older.

Rich says he was “a pretty damn good gymnast” growing up and competed in gymnastics at East Stroudsburg, where he excelled in his major of adaptive physical education and chemistry (ath-letic training was not yet a major at most schools).

He said he picked up a strong work ethic from his perfectionist dad and his sister, and even today as a retired teacher he still works more than 30 hours a week with Herd athletes and with the train-ers society trying to improve ath-letic training standards and access at schools throughout the state.

Burkie said he had offers to leave

Carlisle a couple times, but none were tempting enough to make the move. He enjoys the high school environment and considers him-self a homebody.

“Where else could I go and be with youth, be with young com-petitors, seeing they’re having fun competing and being competitive, and I get paid for it?” he asked.

His tenure at Carlisle has in-cluded several training room ren-ovations — upgrades from a room no bigger than a walk-in closet to the latest one that will be com-pleted in the coming weeks with more space and the best upgrades he has ever seen. The number of sports has also increased at the school. He now has two assistants, and the techniques and technol-ogy continue to evolve, but he has been a mainstay.

“We only had seven sports when I came here,” said Rich, who taught during the day for decades and then served as the football trainer and junior high boys bas-ketball coach, sometimes putting in up to 70 hours a week in his

early days. “So they were sending every kid that was injured to my training room.”

Like father, like family Burkie was the first person to

go into a medical profession out of his immediate family, but it wound up setting a standard for the next generation of Burkhold-ers.

His wife, Nancy, was a nurse, and his daughter, Beth, was a paramedic before she died of ad-vanced pneumonia at 46 years old in 2008.

But Rick took the family “busi-ness” and ran with it. A 1982 Carl-isle grad, Rick played soccer at the University of Pittsburgh where he initially studied communications. He switched midway through his tenure there to athletic training, having spent much of his child-hood around his dad picking up many of the skills at a young age that would be needed in college and beyond.

“He literally taught me to tape an ankle when I was 11 just be-

cause I was over there,” Rick said from Chiefs training camp.

“When his mother found out that we were trying to get him into school, oh, she gave us a fit,” Burkie said, adding that his wife didn’t want Rick’s future wife to have to deal with her husband’s long hours away from home. “She’s an RN. I said, ‘Nancy, if he wants to do it, let him do it.’”

Dad didn’t call Kip Smith, who was in charge of Pitt’s ath-letic training program, like Rick wanted, hoping to get some help to get in. Burkie instead wanted Rick to earn his way in by talking with Smith himself. While his dad was available as a reference for positions later in life, Rick started climbing the ladder with his own work ethic after graduating from Pitt in ‘87.

The future Chiefs athletic trainer landed an internship with the New England Patriots, earned his master’s degree at the Univer-sity of Arizona and then landed an assistant AT job back at Pitt.

He earned a job with the Pitts-burgh Steelers a few years later, but continued searching for a head AT position. He was a finalist for several positions, including the Chicago Bulls in 1998, right after the Bulls’ second three-peat and before Michael Jordan’s second retirement.

Rick’s big break came from newly hired Andy Reid with the Philadelphia Eagles for what has since evolved into a 19-year part-nership with two teams.

He now says Reid reminds him of his dad and he would take a bul-let for either man if asked. He said Reid can be as excited for Rick’s daughter’s tennis trophy as if she was his own daughter.

“He fostered me like a father,” said Rick, a father himself to two high school girls.

He oversaw rehabs for two of

the most memorable Super Bowl returns. He ran sprints with Pitts-burgh’s Rob Woodson, who played in Super Bowl XXX against the Dallas Cowboys after tearing his ACL less than five months before; and he helped Owens recover from a broken ankle in 2004 before Owens caught nine passes for 122 yards in a loss to the Patriots that year.

But the one that stands out the most in his career is former Steel-ers linebacker Jerry Olsavsky, a member of Rick’s wedding party who tore the ACL, PCL, MCL and the cartilage in his knee in 1993. He was not expected to play again, yet he returned to the field 11 months later.

Rick said in his younger days he would work out with the rehab-bing players, running hills and Indian runs to make the mundane feel less lonely.

“When you grow up in a locker room and athlete training room […] you get a competitive spirit about you,” Rick said. “Most things, and my dad taught me this, if you’re gonna do something, go all out, do A-level work.”

Perks and giving back The Burkholders are among the

most decorated trainers at their respective levels.

Rick completed a three-year term as president of the Profes-sional Football Athletic Trainers Society in 2017 and was given the National Athletic Trainers’ As-sociation’s Most Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award (2016) and President’s Award (2017).

Father and son were inducted into the Pennsylvania Athletic Training Hall of Fame together in 2016, and Rick earned the Penn-sylvania Athletic Trainers Soci-ety Distinguished Merit Award in 2013. Both were named dis-tinguished alumni of Carlisle in

2003 as well.Rick said being in the Hall of

Fame with his dad is special, but “those things are not what makes me.”

The two men also share some-thing else in common — they have done quite a bit to improve the profession.

Rich was the founding treasurer of the PATS in 1976 and remem-bers long meetings at Mechan-icsburg’s Creekside Inn. He has lobbied state politicians on issues regarding trainers at high schools for decades and wants to see ev-ery high school in the state have a trainer, regardless of size and money.

“We’re spoiled there in Carl-isle,” his son said, then expanding beyond the state. “But there’s kids out here in Kansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi that still don’t have access to athletic training ser-vices.”

Both have also made pushes to increase the number of women in the profession at all levels, something Rick has gained noto-riety for in the past few months. He now has two women on his

staff with the Chiefs, something he said is a rarity in professional sports and especially the NFL. He has made radio appearances and worked with the league to improve opportunities. He also speaks at local schools every year.

“When I’d go to a convention in the ‘60s and ‘70s, we would be lucky to [see] maybe one or two females,” his dad said.

“If we wanna have really good athletic training staffs […] we’ve gotta go get the best people.”

An ESPN report in 2014 said NATA membership in 2011 was 50.9 percent, up 3 percent from 2005, with student membership at 60 percent. A Journal of Ath-letic Training Study in 2011 said women held 48 percent of training positions in the country, but less than one-third of NCAA programs had women in top positions and that women drop out at a higher rate beginning in their late 20s.

Rick, who said college students in athletic training are about 75 percent female, is a public face of his profession. He believes strongly that for trainers to push for further improvements, in-

cluding gender balance, it will take them stepping into the spot-light more than they’re used to.

“You can’t do that without PR. And I think that’s the missing piece in athletic training,” he said. “We need to convince the govern-ment […] that no athlete [in any state] should ever be put on the field without the availability of athletic training services.”

It’s his way of giving back, the “gift” his dad urged him to use when he became a head AT in the NFL, with a bigger platform.

His parents listened to his re-cent radio interview that took place nearly three decades after he first decided to follow in his dad’s footsteps.

“[My wife] said, ‘I’m so proud of that boy,’” said Rich, who is “tickled” by Rick’s accomplish-ments. “He just amazes me some-times.”

‘The fourth quarter’ It has taken a lot of sacrifice,

though. Rick travels the country and works long hours. Occasion-ally the toiling pays off for his family — having followed long-

time friend Reid for 19 years and getting the chance to mingle with legendary figures.

“This is a great example of my wife,” Rick said, setting the scene of an open bar at a hotel during Super Bowl XLIX. “We go to the bar and there’s six people in the bar [Nomar Garciaparra, Mia Hamm, Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter, Ray Lewis and Peyton Man-ning]. MJ’s talking to me like I’m one of his guys. […] And my wife fit right in.”

Recently promoted to vice president of sports medicine and performance with the Chiefs, and with a voice in NFL Commis-sioner Roger Goodell’s ear, he is not ready to retire yet, but says, “I’m in the fourth quarter of my career in the NFL right now, God willing.”

It’s becoming a running joke: who will retire first? At 54, Rick still has 27 years of catching up to do against his dad. And the NFL is a much harsher business with bigger demands; the odds of him working to 81, at least at this level, are much lower.

There’s also the simple fact that

Burkie simply has no desire to call it quits.

“I don’t think there’s any doubt my dad’s gonna do it for the rest of his life,” Rick said. “He might as well just stop life.”

Rich, who said the job has turned from art form to science — for the better — said he’ll con-tinue as long as Carlisle will keep him and he can retain his certi-fications.

“I don’t wanna retire. I’ve seen good friends retire and then a year later [die],” said Rich, whose pas-times at home are summer vaca-tions to the beach and to see his son, and gardening. “If I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die doing what I wanna do.”

In 2009 he told The Senti-nel when he was honored by the school district for 50 years of service: “As long as my health is OK, I’d love to continue if I make it to 100.”

He’s nearly 60 years in — what’s another 19?

Editor’s Note: Local box scores moving to web only readers will notice a few changes through-

out the school year as it pertains to local sports coverage at the sentinel.

Chief among them will be the placement of our high school box scores that include the stats, players’ names, and scoring details from each game.

starting this season, local box scores for all sports from all of roughly 15 local schools will run exclusively online during the regular season. scores, standings and daily schedules will continue to run in our paper every night. Box scores will return during each sport’s postseason.

We are making this change as we continue to explore new digital opportunities while using the print edition, with its deadline and space limitations, in a way we feel will better

serve its purpose for readers.Our staff — which includes myself, reporter Mallory Merda,

a part-time clerk and several freelance reporters — contin-ues to push for local features and profiles as many days as possible in the paper, whether it be on a new coaching hire, a sophomore battling an awful illness while still contributing on the field, or a team chasing a program record.

We hope to expand our digital options with more videos and perhaps a podcast online at cumberlink.com this year. they will highlight stories that are best told visually or in audio format.

shifting box scores online will allow us to do some of those things, while also allowing us to better display local photos in the print edition as well.

Box scores will not disappear — where they run is just changing. We value the numbers and names that run every

night, but feel that they are now better served online where we don’t have a tight deadline to worry about or a limitation on length. anyone who already has a print subscription can sign into their digital subscription and go to cumberlink.com/sports to view that night’s, or any night’s box scores. and if you don’t have one, we certainly encourage you consider purchasing a digital or print/digital subscription.

if you have any questions or feedback about the change in content, please send me a note at [email protected] or call me at 717-218-0027. i am always happy to discuss our coverage of local high school and college sports.

Brett Ickes likes a little fight in his players, a little nasty.

With so much roster turn-over at Carlisle, especially at the skill positions and with the depar-ture of multidimensional weapon Gavyn Barnes, Ickes was not sure where that mean streak would come from when practices kicked off Aug. 6.

But he knew almost exactly what he was getting from two new transfers before camp even opened: brothers Grady and Bryce Chapman, who recently arrived from California by way of the U.S. Army War College, are big, physi-cal and tough.

And as a lineman (Grady) and tight end/linebacker (Bryce), two immediate starters on both sides of the ball, that’s exactly what Ickes needed in the trenches.

“[Grady’s] gonna be the kid that’s gonna step up and say, ‘We need to get after it. We need to get this done,’” said the coach in the second year of his second stint with the Thundering Herd said during heat acclimation.

“Grady’s the more serious kid. He’s the big brother that definitely is serious. Bryce on the other hand, he’s kind of the laid-back little brother.”

That’s largely because Grady (6-foot-3, 255 pounds) is a senior and is courting interest from a few military academies and was recently at a camp at Villanova, which is also interested. Bryce (6-2, 190), a sophomore, hasn’t reached the urgency yet that se-niors usually do, but he has im-pressed early with his skills and toughness.

This will be the third high school for Grady and the second for Bryce, the sons of Renee and

Jeremy Chapman — Jeremy played at West Point in college and was accepted into the War College this spring after the family has moved to more than a half dozen states the past 17 years. They are yet an-other set of military brats to come through Carlisle, no stranger to War College students, with Grady born in Fort Hood, Texas and Bryce at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

The two played for a state championship but lost last sea-son at Silver Valley High School, located in San Bernardino County, California, between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. They blocked for stud running back E.J. Arne, now at Division I Washington State.

When the family was set to move once again, Grady poured over Google Maps for the local teams near the War College and decided Carlisle was the school, having finished near .500 while playing in a tough division.

Avid fishers and hunters, the

brothers are happy to be out of the desert and have already gone fishing a few times since arriving before Independence Day. They like that destinations are closer to their home again. And both will play other sports after football: Grady in wrestling or basketball, Bryce in basketball, and both in track and field.

“I like moving because every-where you go you can start a new reputation,” Bryce said.

Their penchant for dishing out punishment is apparent when talking to both of them, which is why Ickes has enjoyed having them on the team so much. Grady will take over at right tackle alongside senior Dillon White, with Jaden Motter at center, sophomore Jer-emiah Carothers at left guard and senior Robert Angell at left tackle.

“There’s some nice people on the offensive line, sometimes too nice,” Grady said. “You gotta get mean sometimes.”

“He’s pretty good,” said Angell,

the anchor of the line and a possi-ble Division III recruit. “He’s a lot more aggressive than our last few players, he’s definitely gonna help out the team this year.”

Bryce fills a huge void at tight end and should bring a physi-cal presence at inside linebacker, where he simply enjoys “smashing people.”

“I didn’t know if we would have a tight end this year, I’ll be honest with you,” Ickes said.

“The biggest thing is, those two when they got here never missed a lifting session, never missed a workout of any kind.”

Their presence further solid-ifies the Herd’s only true known strength prior to the season: in the trenches. Sure, Bryce will likely be catching passes, but he will also help open holes for a running back contingent that’ll be led by bruis-ing junior Trystin Sulich.

Carlisle still has a ways to go before it can challenge, physically, the heavy hitters in the Mid-Penn

Commonwealth, but the Chap-mans help close the gap for at least this year.

And neither of them, having played with and against bigger and stronger Samoan lineman in California while chasing a small-school state title, are afraid of the Cumberland Valleys and Central Dauphins.

“I feel like this Carlisle team here has some really good potential,” said Grady, who would love to fol-low in his dad’s footsteps at Army and become an engineer or doctor. “A lot of people around here think too much about who we’re gonna play, they’re intimidated by that. We haven’t beat CV in a while. And I don’t know these teams person-ally, but I think that’s a good thing because it doesn’t matter who I’m gonna play against, I’m gonna treat them like any other team.”

OUTLOOKthe past few seasons, the Bull-

dogs’ offense ran through electrify-ing back ryan adams. But injuries cut short his 2017 campaign and Big spring fell shy of expectations, missing the playoffs in a year many thought the team would make it.

With adams, QB Ethan Lee, Wrs Peyton Bechtold, Joey yaukey and Nick Black, and linemen steven Lynn, tyler Wiley, Kyle Brobst and Billy Paulus gone, Cory Hoffman’s crew will look vastly different.

the roster is still in the 40s, but this is a small senior class — Big spring will be led largely by an

emerging group of juniors, high-lighted by lanky gavin Pritchard.

and playcalling will change as well. Hoffman said he’s recommit-ting to downhill, between-the-tack-les running. adams allowed the team to bounce runs outside, but Bulldogs backs this year are bigger and should do well on one-cut, in-side-zone runs.

“We have a renewed emphasis on being mean and nasty up front,” Hoffman said during heat acclima-tion. “We refocused on: we are an inside zone team. We pulled a lot last year, we did a lot of things that were outside of the box that we had done in previous years. this entire week we’re doing nothing but inside zone.”

the Bulldogs hope to use that emphasis to exert their will on the opposition. despite all the roster turnover, the team is talking play-offs. that is not easy in the Colonial, where shippensburg has beat up Big spring for several years and where it takes 6-4, 7-3 seasons to make the playoffs many times. (although with district 3 re-expanding the playoff field, teams will have a slightly eas-ier time qualifying in some classi-fications.)

Big spring has a favorable open-ing schedule, trading away and home games with Biglerville, James Buchanan, Boiling springs and Ken-nard-dale. None of those teams had more than five wins last season. get-ting off to a 4-0 start is important, because Big spring went just 1-5 in division play last year.

3 DOWNSThree talking points

about the Bulldogs

this season

1 Tim Siwy takes over ... and just wants to win.

The new signal caller in Newville has worked hard this offseason to prepare for his moment.

He was zipping spirals during 7-on-7s when The Sentinel visited for heat acclimation, with improved mechanics and better leadership skills. The senior already has varsity playing time under his belt, but he is the unquestioned starter entering 2018.

“There’s no other quarterback I’d want back there tossing the football,” likely top target Gavin Pritchard said.

“He’s worked really hard on his throwing motion and increasing his release, so trying to get the ball out of his hand right away,” coach Cory Hoffman said.

Siwy, who speaks quickly, to the point and doesn’t appear brag-gadocious, is not out for the personal glory of being a varsity QB. Sure, he’s excited to step in, but the objectives are simple: complete passes and win football games.

“No interceptions, of course,” Siwy said of his Week 1 goals. “That’s never the way to start off the season. I’m more worried about the team, personal goals are second for me.”

2 What’s the next step in Pritchard’s evolution?

With RB Ryan Adams gone, probably the most athletic and recognizable name on offense will be junior Gavin Pritchard. At 6-foot-5 and a well-

built 220 pounds, he’s been a Mid-Penn Colonial men-ace at defensive end with a wingspan that easily keeps would-be blockers off of him.

But receiver is his natural home, he feels.And after a few seasons as a tight end/slot receiver in

Big Spring’s spread offense, he now finds himself out wide. Hoffman has made his demands clear of Pritchard: be the guy every defense must send two guys at.

“I think if he can embrace that role and be successful in that role it can open some things up in our offense,” the skipper said.

Pritchard runs solid routes and has good hands. Plus his size makes him nearly unguardable by smaller defensive backs. If he can put everything together, he’s in line for a breakout campaign and can flirt with 10 touchdowns.

3 Coaches recommitted to “mean” foot-ball, deliberate practices.

Hoffman was asked at practice what new things the coaching staff brought to the table

this offseason and he mentioned two things: stylisti-cally the team wants to play “mean” in the trenches and run inside again, and he has renewed his efforts to uphold expectations of players, coaches and the team.

“I think generally just, what I’ve told the coaching staff, is that the expectations that we have, we have to hold the kids to consistently,” Hoffman said. “Coach [Al] Ream at West Perry used to tell me all the time, ‘You’re either coaching it or letting it happen.’”

That means not allowing players to coast through drills. Hoffman isn’t running around screaming and tossing spittle at players a la former Pittsburgh Steel-ers coach Bill Cowher, but the Bulldogs appear to be more focused during each rep and doing everything the right way.

Outlookthree coaches in three years is never

a good sign.But if heat acclimation taught us

one thing, it’s that these Bubblers seem more excited than in past years.

it all stems from the hire of longtime Cumberland Valley assistant coach Brad Zell, who brought with him longtime friend greg Williams to be Boiling springs’ defensive coordinator and legendary CV head man tim rimpfel out of retirement to coach the lines.

Hearing CV immediately got the

players’ attention this summer, and according to coach and players, it has been a positive transition. Zell brings the Wing-t and all it’s 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust glory. But it will be a slow climb — Zell said he won’t implement the whole playbook this year to allow the offense to master a few things at a time and build.

the roster will see plenty of transi-tion: Zack Vonstein is expected to be the starting QB, with andrew uhler among those leading the way in carries. damon James slips back to guard after a year at fullback. and then there’s Penn state baseball-bound tayven Kelley, who is hoping to build on a dominant season at Wr.

in the past two years there have been two losing streaks of 20-plus games snapped: West Perry in 2016 and Mechanicsburg in 2017. so there is local precedent for the Bubblers to fixate on.

the Capital isn’t exactly loaded from top to bottom, and a non-conference schedule of Littlestown, Bermudian springs and Big spring isn’t the most daunting in the Mid-Penn. there are so many unknowns about Bubbletown football to know when exactly the win will come, but one can make a fairly confident guess this streak doesn’t en-ter another season.

and as we’ve seen the past two years, that win will be one heck of an emotional release.

THE ROSTER


about the Bubblers

this season

1 The elephant in the room — can Bubbletown snap this losing streak?

The coaches and players emphatically say yes. That should be no surprise. It will come down to a

commitment to 48 minutes of football every game, in-tensity and catching an opposing team napping wouldn’t hurt either.

It’s tough to judge these Bubblers from the outside before the games count, with a plethora of new starters and a new coaching staff scrambling over the past three months to install schemes and culture, but it’s hard to imagine a losing streak dating back to 2016 lasts past

this season. Boiling Springs doesn’t have a cakewalk schedule, but

there are some games on the schedule that appear win-nable if they can put the pieces together.

“It’s definitely in the back of our minds,” senior re-ceiver/cornerback Tayven Kelley said. “I mean, we don’t wanna end up like that again.”

“Just other teams not having any respect for us really, that’s what fires me up,” junior lineman Landon Billman said.

Billman, expected to start at guard or tackle, thinks a 5-5 season is very attainable.

2 Impact of veteran coach Rimpfel immediate with linemen.

Back to Billman, who lavished praise on longtime Trin-ity and Cumberland Valley skipper Tim Rimpfel, who was

talked out of retirement as a volunteer assistant under new Bub-blers head coach Brad Zell: “I love seeing him out there with us because I know he has so much experience with offensive linemen, just football in general, so it’s a huge deal to have him on staff.”

Zell, a CV disciple himself, has brought the Eagles’ patented Wing-T and many of its philosophies west on I-81. While the terminology and the athleticism required is a change for the line-man, Billman said the group is excited.

Adding Rimpfel to the staff immediately piqued the interest of the big uglies, as did the other new line coaches Zell has on staff. The players respect the coaches and it appears to have manifested into better work ethics and drive.

For Rimpfel, who cracked that he was getting bored at home, it’s a chance to impart some more wisdom on a small-school program that he believes has potential.

“The kids have been great. And they have a heavy burden on them,” he said. “It’s easy when you’re winning and all that. But now we need everybody to contribute. I’m really pleased seeing this, standing back a lot of times.”

3Conditioning a key for linemen, who already notice a difference.

And sticking up front, Billman said the big guys have worked more

on endurance than at any point last year.With all the pulling the guards in the

Wing-T have to do, that’s huge. That means a guy like Billman can build up a head of steam and lay a crushing block on a ‘backer trying to fill a gap — a scenario that brings a smile to any lineman.

There’s more to blocking than running, though.

“I think a lot of the agilities we did, footwork-wise, even the players were commenting, ‘I’ve gotten so much better at this,’” Zell said.

This is not a unit that will have all the answers in Year 1 of a new system and with some untested new starters coming, but they should still perform better than last year’s front five that averaged less than 3 yards per rush.

OUTLOOKthe last of the 2014-15 playoff era

graduated in the spring, leaving much of Carlisle’s roster devoid of postseason experience.

dynamic receiver/back/quarter-back/defensive back/returner gavyn Barnes is the biggest void to fill for Brett ickes. He was forced to do almost everything a year ago as several new weapons and QBs had to find their foot-ing. the Herd will especially miss his competitive streak, a 5-foot-10 (gener-ous) ball of determination and muscle.

Carlisle has to find answers at QB

(Cole Wolaver or Owen Hacker), re-ceiver (Kurtis ravenel plus... tBd), linebacker (sam angie was a tackle machine, and Joe Mastrangelo) and defensive back.

But the positive for this squad is in the trenches. the thundering Herd are rarely as beefy as their fellow Mid-Penn Commonwealth foes, but this year they return three starters: three-year starter robert angell (Lt), three-year starter dillon White (rg) and two-year starter Jaden Water (C). Joining them are sophomore left guard Jeremiah Carothers, a player ickes sees as a pil-lar of the team for the next three years, and war college transfer grady Chap-man, a senior right tackle with interest from military academies and Villanova, among others.

add a sixth to that mix: Chapman’s sophomore brother Bryce, a tight end who immediately steps in as a run-blocking and pass-catching starter and who could himself get college in-terest in the coming years.

this is not a mauling group, as they will give up some size to opposing lines (many of these players will start on de-fense as well), but silly mistakes will be rare. Levi gelsinger is probably the top backup blocker.

“i think they’re gonna be the heart of our offense, they’re gonna be the strong point to our team,” ickes said, adding later: “those five kids, they’ve been pretty diligent about the weight room and being there and doing the right things and getting stronger.”

THE ROSTER

3 DOWNS Three talking points

surrounding the

Thundering Herd

1 QB is Wolaver’s position to lose.

Carlisle was among the most fortunate Mid-Penn teams for a four year stretch with QBs like Billy Burger and Tyler Harris running a potent

spread passing offense. That run ended last year when the Herd were forced to use three different quarterbacks, each of whom didn’t crack 600 yards through the air.

To mixed results, senior Cole Wolaver was one of the passers who saw extended time when Brett Ickes re-turned as head coach. But now with Christian Watts and Gavyn Barnes graduated, Wolaver has been essentially given first crack at the job with Owen Hacker biting at his heels. (These previews were written the weekend before Week 1, so some position battles weren’t final-ized yet.)

Ickes equated Wolaver to a relief pitcher last year — the then-junior seemed to be good coming on in relief of Watts or Barnes, but struggled at times if inserted to start a game.

That will no longer fly, with Wolaver expected to run the show from start to finish.

“I think he matured,” Ickes said. “The part that he has to gain is the confidence — that, ‘It doesn’t matter, I’m the man, I’ve gotta take over the job, I’ve gotta do the right things and make the decisions to move our offense.’”

Wolaver can certainly toss the pigskin, he just needs to do it consistently.

2 Sulich anchors budding running game.

However, Wolaver (or Hacker) will not be tasked with shouldering the burden. Ickes intends for the ground game to fuel the offense this year, with

whoever lines up in shotgun only needing to limit turn-overs and get the ball to playmakers on the edges.

He has good reason to hand the ball off. Rising junior Trystin Sulich surprised many in a breakout campaign last year when he led the team with 136 carries, 667 yards and nine TDs. The big back with some nimble feet is expected to work as RB1 this year, but he’ll have help once again.

Seniors Ben Nicks and Cameron Greene (younger brother of former HB Tyler Greene), and sophomore Brady Keller are expected to see time filling roles as bruises and scat-back types. The Herd could play matchup offense in the backfield or ride the hot hand.

“That’s one thing I’ll think will make us more effective this year,” said Ickes, also in regards to no longer having a weapon like Barnes who had to get the ball constantly for the Herd to score last year.

3 But can the Herd get back to the playoffs?

That’ll be tough. Carlisle went 5-5 last year and will need to go at least

6-4 to make the District 3 Class 6A field — Central Dauphin and CD East qualified with that mark last year, but Central York and Warwick did not.

Ickes is targeting 5-5 as the goal, especially with roster turnover at the skill positions and linebackers. (The lines, however, boast the most returning experience of any group.)

The odds are long for this group. While openers with a rising Mechanicsburg, plus Northeastern and South Western making up the non-conference slate, the Herd immedi-ately dive into Commonwealth play at State College, then home vs. CD. It is tough to see where three will come from in league play this year, but it’s possible.

OUTLOOKLet’s talk quarterback.yes, at CV that’s a bit unheard

of. But the Eagles find themselves with a rare opportunity, to run an offense with a third-year starter at quarterback who has played in two district 3 Class 6a championship games (and was the backup in the Class aaaa victory as a freshman).

Jared Plessinger is among the most experienced Eagles back this season. and while he’ll never be

asked to chuck the rock 30 times in a game, the veteran still has the ability to impact a contest with audi-bles at the line and making accurate passes when called upon.

“i’ve been running this offense for as long as i’ve been playing foot-ball,” he said. “so i mean, it’s very comfortable. it’s just kind of nice to get back into things bigger, stronger and faster than last year.

“i feel like i improved most in the weight room, getting stronger, get-ting bigger.”

Plessinger also plays lacrosse, giving him oodles of playoff experi-ence entering his final high school season.

His goals are simple: cut down on his six interceptions and complete every pass.

“i just feel like every time we air the ball out it should be complete and we should get positive yards ev-ery time we throw the ball,” he said.

While he didn’t come right out and say it, getting a ‘chip is prob-ably the top priority on his list. Plessinger has not won a d3 title as a starter, and with one last crack at it, he’ll do whatever it takes to win.

the Eagles have a brutal first half of the season: home vs. Bishop Mc-devitt, then away for Central york, Coatesville and Central dauphin before returning to Harry Chapman Field for a game with Harrisburg. a 3-2 record would be welcomed, not to mention 4-1 or 5-0.

regardless of the opening slate, the Eagles once again look like a Commonwealth and Class 6a threat.

about the Eagles

this season

1 CV has a brand new defensive backfield.

We’ll just get this part out of the way: All three downs here will mention the loss of Charlie Katshir.

It’s unavoidable — the freshman Penn State defender impacted all three phases of the game for the Eagles for the past few seasons in a way they haven’t seen in some time.

That starts in the defensive backfield, where Katshir played safety but also roamed as an outside linebacker and cornerback when needed. Few teams had a centerfielder like him, and CV knows it can’t replace his versatility with one player.

But the Eagles also lost all three of the other DBs to gradua-tion, including Cole McCoy, Zack Snow and Jake Palmer. While coach Michael Whitehead Jr. is never one to give away secrets, how the DBs shake out is probably the most pressing question heading into Week 1. But the group — he didn’t name expected starters when The Sentinel visited during heat acclimation — got plenty of run on JV and is well-versed in CV’s system.

“The great thing about our JVs is they actually practice sep-arate,” Whitehead said. “They aren’t holding bags.”

2 Kicking game a strength with Kissinger aboard.

Katshir also served as the kickoff specialist and place kicker most of the

past three seasons. But in steps CV rugby’s Tim Kissinger in a full-time role for the first time.

Kissinger took over as the PK a few games into 2017, landing 35 PATs and a 30-yard field goal. He will assume kickoff duties and all re-ports are he has a strong leg that will pin the opposition. At a practice The Sentinel visited, he booted a couple 40-yard kicks with room to spare as Whitehead challenged him in front of the team, to plenty of cheers of “State cham-pion,” referencing the rugby team’s Pa. title.

“He has a pretty strong leg, he plays rugby — tough kid,” Whitehead said.

Senior Jared Plessinger will assume punting duties in all likelihood.

3 Who steps in as Plessinger’s new weapons?

And now the offense...Katshir ran for 338 yards, caught 31

of the 53 completed passes CV threw for 546 yards, and accounted for 13 offensive touch-downs, the most on the team.

He, Galen Witmer, McCoy and Palmer are now gone, taking with them nearly all of the rushing and receiving yards from 2017. Plessinger, however, seems unconcerned.

“I think it’s just every drive, make it method-ical, get down the field and score,” the third-year QB said.

A backup last year, Jake Hart is expected to see a large chunk of the carries. Stone Huffman, a talented defensive end and tight end, is back and could see more passes his way. Anthony Fy has impressed Plessinger at TE as well.

Whitehead said seniors Connor Madison and Matt Barrick were getting a crack at the Wing-T’s valuable fullback spot, and Madison might have the edge after a 21-carry, 116-yard season as a backup last year. There’s also Lukas Wandling, another possible receiving threat.

The Eagles will be more balanced in the passing game by all accounts with Katshir gone, but how the ball gets distributed waits to be seen.

OUTLOOKgetting three wins has clearly been

a boon for the Wildcats, even with a coaching change for the second straight offseason.

Now under assistant-turned-head-coach anthony rose, Mechanicsburg has seen its numbers nearly double, and with that: expectations. Players that had given up football to pursue other sports are back and eager to help

the team put further distance between the 0-10 years of 2015 and 2016.

rose wants to win every game (that’s mighty tough in the Keystone), and said missing the playoffs in Class 5a would be “disappointing.”

“i’d love .500, 6-4,” said three-year starting linebacker Connor Wallace. “i think our schedule is really good for us this year.”

the Wildcats opened the 2017 season with a loss before ripping off back-to-back emotional road wins. But they tailed off come division play, only winning the season finale against red Land, the ‘Cats lone home victory in three years.

Finishing games and finishing the season with the same intensity is now a focus after many of these players tasted varsity victory for the first time in their careers. that starts with con-fidence.

“you have to continue to work at the little things to make sure that you’re not taking a step back,” rose said. “i think the big thing is just going out there and getting confidence, but not getting too confident, and just continu-ing to build on the things we see.”

Lightning-fast receiver/returner Jo-seph Bruno will put butts in the seats most nights as fans wait for him to break off a long score. But rose said he is not the only one drawing college interest this year.

still, this is a program that has some work to do to once again be considered one of the Keystone threats again. it will take more time, but 2018 should mark another step in the right direction.

THE ROSTER


about the Wildcats

this season

1 100 years of Wildcat football.

It has been a century since Mechanicsburg’s football pro-gram was born. The school is

planning a big celebration to honor the anniversary, scheduled for the non-league rivalry game against Northern on Sept. 7.

Alumni as far back as the 1940s, according to coach Anthony Rose, are being invited back for a ceremony at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Park. There will also be a banquet. Details are still coming together, but one of the current player’s dads is putting together a scrapbook.

There are not many teams in central Pennsylvania that have been around for 100 years, leaving Mechanicsburg as one of the oldest programs, probably in the state as well.

Any alumni seeking more informa-tion can contact athletic director Seth Pehanich at [email protected].

2 Three-win season has spirits, and numbers, high.

After two straight winless seasons, the Wildcats fi nished 3-7 in 2017, including consecutive wins on the road to start the year 2-1.

The wins, coupled with the likeable demeanor of Rose, a teacher in the school who replaced Billy Furman after his one-year stint, has seen the roster’s ranks swell from around 40 two years ago to more than 80 this season.

And Rose believes many of the newfound players aren’t just roster fi ller, but will fi ght to contribute at the varsity and JV levels (Me-chanicsburg also re-instituted the ninth-grade team in 2017, which has helped).

“A lot of the guys that are coming back out played in the past,” Rose said, citing specifi cally Michael Vigliano, a former receiver who ran cross country the past two years and is now the starting QB with sophomore Micah Brubaker nursing an arm injury for at least the start of the season. “You’re seeing a lot of those type players coming back out.”

“It’s been great. I knew a lot of the guys previously because I played with them before,” Vigliano said. “I think we have a good mindset this year. I think we can win some games.”

Mechanicsburg has fi ve returning starters on off ense and six on defense, the coach said, meaning some of those new faces could get plenty of run if they earn it during practices.

3 Where is Bruno’s ceiling?

Boy, that’s a tough question to answer (and we know we asked it).

One of the most exciting breakout athletes of 2017 in Cumberland County, junior Joseph Bruno has re-portedly stepped things up several notches.

Easily one of the fastest players in the Mid-Penn, Bruno (6-foot, 185 pounds entering camp) added 10 pounds of muscle during track and fi eld season, when he won District 3 and PIAA medals in the 200. He’s since added another 10 pounds and has gone to Penn State and elsewhere for camps.

Rose said Bruno has interest from Temple and Delaware already. He is exceptionally versatile as a wide receiver who can also run the ball and is a developing defensive back. But he single-handedly alters special teams play, having busted four kicks for scores a year ago before teams kicked away from him altogether.

He is a near lock for 1,000 total yards, even if his return chances are limited.

“Joe gives you the chance for the explosive play, and I think we all know that our opposition knows that as well,” Rose said.

OUTLOOKZack Kuntz is about to play his first

snaps at Penn state, Quinn Buffing-ton has a few months until he’s lacing up baseball cleats at East tennessee state and the Lions are left to pick up the pieces.

Coach tim Bigelow got his first full offseason in as the head man after Frank gay abruptly resigned the night before the team’s game a year ago. so Bigelow, who had several assistant coaching changes as well, now gets to run his own system.

He’ll have the benefit of a se-nior-laden offensive line that should

hopefully make life easier for the new quarterback and skill guys about to step up. Buffington was forced to scramble a lot last year, racking up the most rushing yards for Camp Hill in the process. Hopefully with a year of seasoning the line can hold the pocket longer.

greg Labine will slide from re-ceiver/backup QB to signal caller it appears, leaving just four pass catch-ers returning with a combined 10 re-ceptions a year ago. “Next man up” is rarely so true.

Frank shartle got 11 carries as a sophomore last year and is expected to see an increase in work behind that veteran line of david Brennan, aJ Brantley, William Massie and tommy Zerbe.

defense was not spared either. Jonathan shuster and Nate teeter each had 100 tackles last year, with Nick Perry racking up 88. those three, plus Luca Colestock, Kuntz and Nate Becker leave the defensive half bereft of veteran playmakers, al-though Bayesa averaged double-digit tackles in seven games.

Connor trumpy will make his de-but on the gridiron. One of the Lions’ better basketball players, the junior is likely to get some reps at receiver and d-end, providing an infusion of talent for the 30-plus-man roster.

Bigelow is also high on the soph-omores, highlighting the quarter of Peter Chelap (rB/dB), Patrick Becker (Wr/dB), Max delaye (rB/LB) and Jude gourdier (OL/dL) as some of the young names to potentially step into meaningful roles this season.

OUTLOOKFor all the questions about how the

offense would fare with a split-QB sit-uation last year, the Colts still scored more than 30 points a game and went 4-2 in the Mid-Penn Keystone.

Now questions linger for different reasons — namely, who’s going to get the ball out wide or at running back. Bobby Whalen, even while splitting time under center, is the only re-turning pass catcher with at least 10 receptions and 100 yards. and Mike dubas’ replacement at rB needed to be sorted out in camp.

the line returns some vets, which is always a good thing.

Potentially the most helpful thing for the Colts this year is something they had no control over. district 3’s expansion of the football playoffs bumps Class 5a to 14 teams in the field, meaning Cedar Cliff’s 7-3 record a year ago is now more than enough to make it. it was impressively tough to make the playoffs in 5a the past two years (where you side on the de-bate about number of playoff teams notwithstanding), and now if Colin gillen’s squad can simply repeat its record the playoffs are a lock.

Bishop Mcdevitt is always looming on the schedule, but the Colts have a monster of an opening slate, capped by a saturday matinee at Harrisburg on sept. 8. if they get through the first five games, ending with Mcd, at 3-2, that will be a minor miracle. the schedule opens up tremendously af-ter that, with Lower dauphin in Week 6 likely the toughest challenge of the bunch.

OUTLOOKPerhaps no team has been hit

harder by the graduation bug than East Penn this year, at least locally.

two division i talents in Payton Morris (Penn, pole vault) and Onasis Neely (temple, running back) were the two headliners from a class of seniors that ran almost 30 deep. With their departures goes a ton of experience and many positions up for grabs.

the Panthers must now restock and recalibrate their expectations

after making the district 3 semifinals a year ago.

that includes the following changes: Nik Karoly slides from receiver to dual-threat QB, Jacob shermeyer will be the starting rB as a sophomore (a la Neely circa 2015), junior Jaxson irwin joins Marquise Horton and Michael Chismur among the Wr/tE group, a whole new ju-nior class takes over on the lines, and youth steps in at linebacker and defensive back.

East Penn, offensively, will depend a lot on the legs of Karoly and sher-meyer.

“it’s a whole new line, it’s a whole new running game, so a lot of weight is gonna fall on [Karoly’s] shoulders,” coach todd stuter said, adding later: “[shermeyer’s] a very talented young man, but he’s a 10th grader, so it’s go-ing to be a growing process for him.”

shermeyer (5-foot-11, 190 pounds) had around 300 yards last year and is a powerful runner, but he’ll need the o-line to come together quickly to open up lanes. ryan Manderbach is slotted as the primary backup. it’ll be a different offense from the one used to Neely busting long scores regardless of if it was a broken play or perfectly executed.

the strength of this team, stuter feels, is on the back end of the de-fense, where he has speed and athlet-icism at linebacker to offset size and a three dBs he saw varsity time last year.

“We hope to be at least in the mid-dle of the [Capital] mix,” stuter said. “Just improvements, week by week. Just getting better as football players, as athletes.”

OUTLOOKthere were 22 that donned caps

and gowns in the spring from North-ern’s roster, leaving a sizable hole for coach Bill Miller to fill. the roster is hovering around 40 right now and there are just nine seniors on the squad, further emphasizing how dif-ferent 2018 will be.

the lines are likely where the departures will be felt most. O-line

lost three starters from a group that paved big holes for Kyle swartz the past two years. Joe samsel and spen-cer Breski, a dL starter in 2017, will provided some veteran leadership there, but it will be up to several new faces to fill the gaps.

the good thing for the offense is the presence of swartz and senior Chris Barrett. the QB got his first taste of varsity last year and could improve on his four touchdowns, es-pecially if he can build some chem-istry with a new-look receiving core. Of course, a QB’s best friend is a good ground game — and swartz, a junior, would be an asset on just about every team in the Mid-Penn as a downhill runner with a good combination of size and quickness.

the coaching staff is high on this group, but expectations are likely understandably tempered from the outside until more is known about the new starters. the Mid-Penn Colonial has a few teams in similar boats this year, but it will not be an easy path for Miller’s squad by any means.

Northern and shippensburg are the only two schools to move up a classification during this next two-year cycle, slotting the P-Bears in 5a for the first time. that could mean a better opportunity to make the postseason, or it could mean playing against some of the smaller Colonial schools proves a different obstacle this time around.

Key returners: Mike daylor, sr., rB/LB; Cam Metzel, jr., OL/dL; John greene, sr., FB/LB; Justin Hertzog, jr., OL/dL.

OUTLOOKBack for a second stint is Frank

gay, who shockingly resigned from Camp Hill the night before the 2017 opener. a district 3 championship coach, gay returns to the school he got his first head coaching gig hop-

ing to revive a program that struggled mightily a year ago after heavy losses to graduation.

gay will have a lot of work to do with a young roster that has 17 se-niors but just six juniors. Nearly all of the skill positions appear to be getting some new blood, but the trenches will be manned by veterans Cam Metzel and Justin Hertzog, a pair of juniors.

adam Cramer is a 6-foot junior who is gay circled as a new face to watch, taking over at quarterback with very young depth behind him. Mike daylor and John greene, two se-niors, will get heavy use in the back-field and at linebacker it appears.

gay returns with a reputation as an intense winner. it’s tough to see this team going from 2-8 to, say, 8-2 in one year, but there should be some sort of turnaround in what still is a challenging Mid-Penn Keystone. the Patriots will have a battle in front of them in the division, opening at home against Bishop Mcdevitt and Lower dauphin. and they aren’t the only team trying to build momentum, with local foe Mechanicsburg striving to improve on last year’s 3-7 finish, with a budding roster to do it.

How far this crew is able to bounce back, and with so much youth that will need to contribute, will be one of the more interesting plots of the sason.

OUTLOOKa district 3 Class 4a championship

berth in 2016 was followed by an up-and-down 2017 campaign that saw the greyhounds somewhat surpris-ingly finish just 3-3 in the Mid-Penn Colonial.

Now it’s time for some changes. Chief among them is a new quarter-back, plus a conversion back to the Wing-t.

With Carter Van scyoc now at college, Zack Manning might just be the new guy in charge, having taken reps during the greyhounds’ tri-scrimmage with Carlisle and Milton Hershey on saturday. the sophomore will have some receiv-

ers at his disposal that got their first extended taste of varsity action last year in Ethan stouffer, Kyler Brown and Noah Chavez, who combined for just 20 receptions. the other QB on the roster is junior Nick gustafson, younger brother of former standout receiver Cody.

But the linchpin will be adam Houser, who dealt with an ankle in-jury early last year but still caught and ran for more than 1,100 yards last year. the greyhounds have been hoping for big things from him for a little while, and now he’s got one last chance to put up lopsided numbers as he hunts a college offer.

Even with turnover at some cru-cial positions, shippensburg always seems to be a favorite in the Colonial. Big spring, Northern and West Perry, just to focus on sentinel-area division rivals, are all going through exten-sive turnovers as well. While Mifflin County made some strides last year in its second season in the division, it’s not clear from this vantage point if the Huskies will become a legit threat in the division.

the greyhounds close the season with an interesting four-game slate: at West Perry, home vs. Northern, at red Land and at Big spring to again defend the Little Brown Jug. that’s as important a division-defining stretch as you’ll ever see.

also of note, ship now competes in Class 5a, meaning a battle for 14 play-off spots is coming. the P-Bears were the only other local team to bump up a class this Piaa cycle.

OUTLOOKthe shamrocks are the third local

team with a first-year head coach, welcoming todd ryan to the position in the spring after troy Jensen left for an assistant position at alvernia.

His job will not be easy: replace 14 seniors at a small school while still trying to build on last year’s three wins.

a lot of those seniors started for multiple years, so the depth left be-hind will be tested. there are some vets on this squad, though, that should help lead the charge. inside ‘backer Mark Centurione is a four-year starter nearing 200 career

tackles. He was an all-sentinel pick last year at the position and is going to be expected to shut down anything that gets to the middle of the field.

He’s going to get some help from Cumberland Valley transfer dom Kelly, who ryan expects to slot in at linebacker right away.

Nearly the entire offense needs to be rebuilt, though, starting at QB to replace tommy Kirchhoff. the sham-rocks had a pair of passers duking it out in camp these past few weeks. the returning target with the most run last year is d’amonte Porter, third last year in yards and first in recep-tions.

Connor McCarthy, who was deep on the rB depth chart, had a good shot in camp to take over the lead role, while trey Mcauliffe (Wr/dB) is another up-and-comer the coaches have their eyes on.

ryan said the coaching staff has simplified the offense from the spread offense of the past. How that manifests will be something to watch in the opening weeks.

and while it’ll be overlooked be-cause it’s not a glamour position, Hunter Becker is now at division i saint Francis after years as a blocker and long snapper.

trinity is going to have to fight to improve on its 3-7 mark last year, especially with all the losses. it’ll all depend on how so many new faces step up. it’s a young group, too, which usually spells some ups and downs early in the season.

OUTLOOKin two years the Mustangs have

gone from 0-10 (twice) to 4-6 and now are setting their sights on their first winning season in six tries.

How they will get there will be sig-nificantly different from recent sea-sons, though. Whereas Bob Boden’s crew was strong at the skill positions a year ago in camp, this year’s El-

liottsburg program has a distinctly veteran tilt in the trenches. if you like building from the inside out, this is the team for you.

there are five returning offensive lineman that are seniors and ex-pected to contribute heavily, giving the Mustangs a better chance than in recent years to push some teams off the ball.

that should bode well for return-ing lead back Kenyon Johnson, who is trying to rush for 1,000 yards for the first time after posting 848 a year ago. He’s a big-play threat.

the big loss is QB dom salinetro, who developed over several tough years into a 2,000-yard passer who completed 17 tds a year ago. Boden had an open competition for the new starter stretching into the final week of practice; Eli Puchalsky was the only backup to toss a pass last year, going 2-for-3 for 21 yards. Johnson threw a few wildcat passes in 2017.

With what seems like a more wide-open Mid-Penn Colonial than recent years, if Boden can get the skill guys to produce early, this is a squad that could do better than 3-3 in division play. they have some interesting non-division games against Camp Hill and Mechanicsburg in Weeks 3 and 5, respectively, but then dive into the meat of the Colonial slate. the up-side here is a playoff team for the first time in years, but a lot of things will have to go right first.

JAKE ADAMS

The Sentinel

Brandan Knepper got food poisoning eating chicken in Guatamala this summer while on vacation with his family.

It set him back on his training.It will not matter.Knepper is a worker on the Mechanicsburg cross coun-

try team. And after several years toiling away behind tal-ented older runners like Alex Tomasko, Andrew Sulon and Morgan Cupp, he is ready to put all that hard work to good use as the clear top Wildcats runner, and the latest in a line of state medal contenders.

“I think the biggest thing during training, during long runs [in past years with the older runners] I never wanted to be left behind,” Knepper said in July.

“I think Brandan’s ready to be in the spotlight,” said his coach, Mary Hey.

Knepper is not a demonstrative person. Runners tend not to be, but even by their mild-mannered standards, he tends to loom in the shadows.

He was expecting to run with Michael Vigliano, his friend and teammate from the past two years and a fellow senior, but Vigliano had an itch to return to football that needed scratched.

“It was mostly just because I’ve played football pretty much my entire life,” Vigliano told The Sentinel during heat acclimation week. “The only two years I ran cross country were my sophomore and junior year. But I was missing [football], to be honest.”

So that leaves Knepper the unquestioned leader of a pe-rennial District 3 threat that now finds itself much younger than expected. Knepper doesn’t plan to change his style, though. He’ll work hard as the lead runner in practice and try and push his teammates more by showing than telling.

“He’s not an in-your-face leader,” Hey said. “He’s social but doesn’t have to be the center of attention.”

Knepper, who hopes to run in college but hasn’t com-mitted to a school yet and envisions a possible future on Wall Street or in finance, took up running around fourth or fifth grade. The fourth of five boys raised by Roger and Mardell Knepper, running became “alone time from fam-ily” after he did the school mile and enjoyed it.

(The Knepper’s adopted two brothers from Russia when Brandan was 3 years old, one that was a year older than Brandan and one a year younger. He enjoyed the extra company — his three oldest brothers, Logan, Dimitri and Jordan, are a few years into college — but admitted it can be “quite rowdy” at home.)

Knepper ran with a couple of his older brothers that dabbled in the sport before him — the youngest, Alex, is on the cross country team — but his love for running blos-somed under middle school coach Bill Richie.

“He took a lot of time to talk to us about the deeper side of running almost,” Knepper said of those days. “It was about getting to know the team, playing games with the team. […] He did a lot more of letting the team have fun.”

As expected under Richie’s tutelage, runners at Me-chanicsburg grow close. While Knepper’s freshman year was admittedly grueling as the training ramped up com-

pared to anything he experienced prior, he bonded with many of the aforementioned older runners.

“Brandan and Andrew Sulon, I think they’ve learned that humor has to be involved in run-ning, too,” said Hey, who witnessed the team playing Super Smash Bros. on overnight trips over the years. “[And with Cupp] I think that personal accountability has been huge between the two of them. Morgan wasn’t afraid to chal-lenge Brandan, and Brandan wasn’t afraid to ask questions.

“They were pretty close.”But now the team is almost entirely new and

younger than Knepper, a group that is largely un-proven but has their leader optimistic. The challenge changes from chasing to leading, and he said he feels ready for that.

“I’ve been doing a lot of processing about how training’s gonna go [this summer],” said Knepper, who said he has cut out “trash miles” and runs his distance runs with pace now, getting the most out of each run.

The team again has its sights set on another PIAA Class 3A berth, which will mean a top finish at the District 3 championship. The Wildcats again want to gun for the Mid-Penn Keystone crown as well.

And Hey said she wants to see if Knepper can close in on the home course record of 15:57 and the school record of 15:26, both of which were set by Cupp.

Knepper, though, hasn’t set strict goals for the postseason. A medal is definitely in reach, but a specific time or place is not on his mind at the moment.

He loves the mental aspect of the sport — he tracks his times from previous years to set goals for each race of the upcoming season and moni-tors other runners he might compete against, like Carlisle’s senior leader Jack Wisner, whose 16:20 for fourth place at districts and 16:44 (42nd place) at states trailed Knepper’s times by three and seven seconds, respectively.

The two ran the Carlisle Summerfair 5k against each other, with Wisner winning. Wisner is also a postseason medal favorite.

“I think we’re both looking just to push each other,” Knepper said when talking about what should be the top local rivalry this season. “I love always having that — I don’t wanna say fear, the pressure of having someone out there.”

Breakdown: Kirkwood is the clear top dog returning, having finished 13th at the district 3 Class 2a cham-pionship and was in the top 100 at the Piaa championship a week later, posting times in the 17s. the trick for the Bulldogs, especially during the regular season, will be the depth behind him. the ageless Jumper has multiple seniors for which to call upon, so perhaps a few will shave some significant time off last year’s runs to push the team forward.

CROSS COUNTRY


MALLORY MERDA

The Sentine

Camp Hill sophomore Julia Raich won’t show off her bling or regale you with her triumphs. She’ll keep it straightforward and just tell you the simple things.

She’s someone who’s well-rounded and tries to do her best in school and athletics, and she really values school because her parents put a lot of emphasis on it. She’ll tell you she has two sis-ters: Emma, the older sister who she credits with getting her into sports, and Grace, the younger sister with down syndrome who helps keep her humble.

One thing Raich won’t tell you is that she had a very decorated freshman year with the Lions.

She plays four sports: soccer and cross country in the fall, bas-ketball in the winter and track in the spring. Raich accumulated quite a collection of hardware in just her first year of high school.

A total of 12 medals to be exact.That’s a rare feat. Yet Raich won’t gloat about that

number.“It’s really crazy, but doing four

[sports], you just really value all of the opportunities you get in all of them, especially going to districts and states,” Raich said. “It makes me feel really good just to know that my hard work has paid off, especially since a lot of people don’t get the opportunity to even get close to that many. It’s really humbling.”

Raich hadn’t planned on doing four sports in high school.

When Emma, who is headed to Penn State, signed up for cross country, she decided to sign up as well. After that, she decided to sign up for basketball after play-ing in middle school, signed up for track because Emma ran for the team and signed up for soccer because she really liked running.

In her own words, participating

in four sports “just kind of hap-pened.”

Out of the four, soccer is her favorite. With her 15 goals and 55 points, she helped the Lions make it all the way to the PIAA Class 1A championship before falling to Shady Side 4-0 to end the sea-son. To her, admittedly, this was the toughest medal to achieve.

“In soccer, we thought we could go farther in previous years, but not that far, so we had to put in a lot of work and we had to win so many games,” Raich said.

Runner-up in her rankings would be the fifth-place finish in the 4x800 in the state track cham-pionships, a week after claiming silver at District 3.

Splitting her time between games, practices and hanging out with friends and family is tough, but Raich makes it work. Espe-cially in the summer when she volunteers with Special Olympic soccer with her sister Grace.

“Kids with special needs come out and we organize practices and then eventually games,” Raich said. “We just help them get into the sport and it’s really more about having fun, especially since that’s all they wanna do. They just always want to have fun with it.”

Raich got into coaching and helping out with the Special Olympics in fourth grade when she heard about the opportunities through Grace.

She’s kept up with it throughout the years, dabbling between soc-cer and basketball — both with her younger sister — and track. There was that one time with gymnas-tics, but it was short-lived.

“I used to help out with gym-nastics, but I never did gymnas-tics, so that one was kind of hard to help out with,” Raich said with a laugh.

Every Monday during the sum-mer, Raich meets up with other volunteers to help coach kids with special needs. For an hour-and-a-half the players warm up and then split into different teams before going through a scrimmage. They also run through simple drills like passing and shooting.

“You have a lot of time to spend with the people doing it,” Raich said. “You get to know all the athletes and eventually they re-member you every year when you see them.”

Raich now shifts her focus back to soccer and cross country, trying to add to her medal count.

A state gold medal, obviously, is the main target for the soccer team this year. Raich has set up some personal goals, though, as well.

“I’d really like to become more of a leader on the team,” Raich said. “I know last year I kind of found my place as I went on, but this year I kind of know where I’m at with the team and I know more things that I can do to help out. Maybe play more offensively sometimes, too.

“It’d be nice to get even more medals this year, but I don’t know if that will happen. It’d be nice.”

Top newcomers: sydney Hutchinson, sr., F; ava Wilson, fr., M; aleya Eisenburg, d/M; Makenna Mersch, M.

Opener: sept. 1 hosting Big spring Backyard Brawl, 10 a.m.

Preview: the Bulldogs are just look-ing for a successful season this year, and with a young batch of players, Kump might just get that. if the communication is there and the defense stays on their toes, Big spring can make the jump to-ward becoming a winning program. From Kump: “i truly believe in our team [and] if we can play together as a unit, get our players match fit and learn to possess the ball better we can easily have the program’s most successful season. But it will take 100-percent team effort.”

Preview: Whittenberger and decker may be on to bigger things, but the Bub-blers will charge on with a loaded roster once again. Hughes (209 points) will lead the team as a senior this season on of-fense, with Hemler to secure the defense. With Becker (allowed only 27 goals in 23 games last season) back in net after step-ping in for an injured Whittenberger last season, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Bubblers make another deep run in

MALLORY MERDA

The Sentinel

Cumberland Valley boys soccer coach Matt Billman doesn’t just want to be known as a great coach. Or as just a great teacher.

Billman wants to be known as a great person, one who tries his hardest to give back and help oth-ers who may not have the same opportunities as he and his wife, Jennifer, who is a professor at HACC, may have.

So the two hatched a plan.“We always looked at, ‘OK,

we’re nine-month employees, what can we do with our sum-mers?’” Billman said during a preseason practice last week. “We have a heart for children, we have a heart for youth, we have a heart for Africa. There’s just something in both of our hearts that’s just this calling.”

They traveled with their fam-ily to Burkina Faso in Africa and partnered up with expat interna-tional workers in the area to help run a soccer camp. A year later they went to Guinea West Africa, where they visited for the next three summers before the Ebola outbreak halted their travels.

After that, they were invited to Sri Lanka to run programs before ultimately ending up in Ghana, where their most recent trip took place this summer.

The program, called Soccer Outreach Services, is a nonprofit 501(c)3 (since 2011) that runs a youth development program in underprivileged countries. The services include soccer camps, nutrition, vocation, education and health.

It was formed by the Billmans. The board — which includes the couple plus Rod Peterheim, Greg Davis and Craig Flemons — part-nered up with the Hershey Com-pany and have done nine trips so far.

“[We try to] help and work

with and partner with individ-uals rather than just going over and just doing our thing,” said Billman, a Mechanicsburg and Messiah graduate who is leading the Eagles for the 19th season af-ter going 16-8-1 and making the PIAA Class 4A quarterfinals last year. “We’re working with indi-viduals who live in the country. We’re trying to see what they need and how we can assist them.”

During the soccer camps, Bill-man helps teach the kids lessons about sportsmanship, being a good student and member of the community, all while playing some games and incorporating healthy eating habits. His wife has helped work with the health service work-ers, lending a hand in diabetes, vision, height, weight and HIV

screenings, plus more services.On their most recent trip, Bill-

man teamed up with a familiar face from the CV family. Grace Corey, a current freshman who played soccer and ran track at CV school district, is currently living with her family in Accra, the cap-ital of Ghana, and kept in contact with Billman.

“They left for the country and we had a conversation of, ‘I’d love to come help with your camp,’” Billman said. “We connected and kept in contact.”

Corey, along with her mother and brother, helped Billman with the soccer camp and made an impact especially with the girls. The program is “really passion-ate” about opportunities for girls and boys, Billman said, and over

40 girls attended. For some coun-tries, where opportunities for girls are nearly nonexistent, it was ex-citing for Billman and his camp to see.

More than 450 kids showed up to participate in the camps and more 300 adults got health screenings. This turnout, to Bill-man, is what it’s all about.

“We really feel like this is not about us,” he said. “We’re working and partnering with individuals who have a heart for children and a heart for education. We’re blessed here in the states with resources that we can take and support and enhance. I always leave and just think to myself, ‘I’d love to stay longer, I’d love to help out more.’

“The cool thing is the world’s a small place. Technology lets us

communicate and continue to find needs and help.”

Billman and his wife plan to take another trip with their camp next summer — same place, same ac-tivities.

“My wife and I have just been really thankful and blessed that we’re able to do this, and we’re excited for the opportunities to continue doing that and continue to work in these countries and just work with some great individuals around the world,” Billman said.

MALLORY MERDA

The Sentinel

There once was a group of nine seniors dubbed the Notorious 9 that included Kennedy Eyer, Madi Georgiana, Rachel Strockbine, Hannah Heiges, Michaela Bailey, Sidney Lacey, Alexis Miller, Alida Steemkamer and Taylor Nesmith.

Now that Cumberland Valley has a group of nine seniors again, it was time for a new name for a new group.

Thus, the Nuclear 9 was born.Well, sort of.Three years after their prede-

cessors, this group of nine seniors — Chloe Georgiana, Mia Kat-terman, Mia Rothman, Hannah Huffman, Hannah Moore, Jesse Zampelli, Sam Krebs, Riley Hilton and Demi Murcavage — wanted to pay tribute a senior class they looked up to since freshman year.

“Our class is a weird class,” Hilton said with a shrug and a laugh. “There’s really no reason behind it. It just kind of came up and we were just like, ‘Cool.’ The Notorious 9 was when we were the freshman class and they were the senior class. They were good role models to us, so we kind of wanted to do something like that.”

“They told me one day that’s what they wanted to be called and I was like, ‘You can’t come up with something better?’” head coach Ashley Taylor said. “And they were like, ‘No we like it!’”

With a name like the Nuclear 9, the group is sure to turn heads this season. Despite losing a eight seniors from the 2017 squad, in-cluding a starting goalie, the team is confident in the leadership of the nine.

Hilton, Krebs and Katterman will serve as captains and make it a point for the entire team to know that they will be there for them.

To a point, they’re taking a cue

from the Notorious 9.“Coming in as freshmen, they

were constantly doing their best and we all looked up to them,” Krebs said. “They were the class that we’ve been the closest to since we got to the high school and they really set a good exam-ple for us. Now we’re trying to be like them now that we’re seniors for the underclassmen.”

“I think we’re ready to prac-

tice and be as talented as they were and leave the same legacy,” Rothman said.

This new group has already had some time to practice with one another and Taylor sees some positives from the team already. Taylor is glad the new group has been talking a lot, both on and off the field.

“I think one of the many things we’re working on has been

talking, so I think that will be a huge difference from last year when we just starting to develop that skill,” Taylor said. “And it’s not a weakness, per se, but some-times they’ll be too unselfish with the ball and they pass it instead of taking the shot. I guess in the circle it turns into a weakness because I would rather them take the shot, but I like that they’re unselfish and would rather have their teammates have the glory than themselves.”

The goals this season will be simple: make it to districts and go the one step further to states. That and get another Mid-Penn Commonwealth championship.

The team’s motto will be ‘Leave a legacy’ for the season to honor former teammate Amanda Strous. According to Taylor, the seniors chose the theme “because they want to leave the program better than it was when they came and be good role models for the under-classmen.”

With the group now, Taylor and

her captains are more than certain this group can attain these goals.

Oh, and there’s one more fac-tor that will help push the team to meet those goals.

The seniors and coaches have implemented a new reward sys-tem. Get a shutout? You don’t have to run laps the next day. Score in the first couple minutes? You get candy.

“We look forward to those,” Hilton said with a big smile. “If we get five or more goals against them then we get cake, and if we score in the first couple minutes we get candy. It honestly does push us to make that goal because it’s nice to have a reward when we’re out here every single day.”

“Our one reward is cake and they’re very excited to shoot for the cake, of course,” Taylor said, shaking her head. “Gotta be the treats.”

JAKE ADAMS

The Sentinel

There’s a budding dynasty being groomed in Newville.

At least, that’s the hope of sixth-year girls volleyball coach Cara Rhone.

A 1997 Big Spring graduate her-self — she played volleyball, bas-ketball and threw the javelin before playing basketball at Waynesburg College — Rhone is overseeing what could be the beginning of a major transformation in Bulldogs volleyball. Hardly a powerhouse in the Mid-Penn Conference for years, the Bulldogs have now been to three straight District 3 tour-naments and have good odds of extending that streak.

But that’s not all. Her youth pro-gram, Digs 4 Kids, is beginning to bear fruit at the high school level, with this year’s freshmen class of 10 (at tryouts) the first group to come out of the program run for girls in grades 3-6.

“When I took over the program, we really didn’t have — we had numbers, but we really didn’t have talent,” Rhone told The Sentinel last week.

Digs 4 Kids runs six weeks during the summer, and Big Spring’s mid-dle school and high school teams lend a hand coaching the younger kids. Attendance has jumped from the low 30s at its start in 2013 to nearly 70 this summer.

The dividends are already pay-ing off in middle school and will continue as more products of D4K reach the varsity team in the coming years; five of this year’s freshman worked as varsity team managers in recent years.

“The overall teaching of the pro-gram, we don’t have to waste so much time on in the middle school because they’re already hearing it in the summer program,” Rhone said.

“We definitely knew that they were strong, but the three months

over the summer, we didn’t see how much they improved,” senior Carolina Horst said about the in-coming Bulldogs and their early impact pushing the upperclass-men.

But that’s all the future.Sure, the next wave of Bulldogs

made Rhone’s life difficult when cuts came about and is already pushing some veteran mainstays on the roster that have notable playoff experience, but Big Spring still belongs to a strong senior class that includes returning starters Bentli Burke (libero/defensive spe-cialist), Kirsten Sebers (middle hit-ter) and Horst (middle hitter), plus others expected to see increased minutes in Carleebeth Sheaffer (outside hitter) and Regan Donato (setter).

This group isn’t worried about two years from now — they’re wor-ried about two months from now.

While Big Spring has made districts three years running, the Bulldogs have not escaped the first

round. They want to change that in 2018.

“All of us, we all worked so hard and we all work really well to-gether,” Horst said.

“We have to go in with the mind-set that we can [win],” Bentli said. “We have to make it into the Top 16 seeds, so that’s obviously the first goal.”

The Bulldogs under Rhone take particular pride in their defense and passing, plus a strong serve (Bentli said the team had around a 94-percent serve percentage last year). Mistakes are rare, according to Rhone, which makes the ‘Dogs a stingy bunch to play against.

This year the defensive respon-sibilities fall on Bentli, the libero. She replaces Bailey Auchey, who graduated along with Aly Roberts, Megan Emlet and Ashlan Houser.

“I always say Ben is my silent girl,” Rhone said. “She’s phenom-enal. When I would look at her percentages last year […] I would always be like, ‘Are you telling me

she only missed one pass to tar-get?’”

Roberts’ is the biggest hole to fill, however, having worked as the team’s setter for the past three years. Rhone called her a natural at the position, leaving junior Regan Donato with lofty shoes to fill.

But the senior class has enough experience to take over where the 2017 class left off. Plus with several juniors and those aforementioned freshmen providing in-house competition, there’s plenty for Rhone to be excited about.

“I think we’ve kind of just been anticipating [this chance for years],” said Horst, who played three years with Prevail Club Team out of Palmyra and is considering competing in college. “We were there since the beginning […] and it’s just really exciting to see every-thing coming together.”

Rhone said she’s particularly proud of how well the players carry themselves in gains, always respectful of the opposition and

officials. And they’re a positive bunch.

“I don’t wanna jinx myself, but I’m gonna say [we’ll make the play-offs again],” the coach said.

She said her rebuilding work came in her first two seasons. Since then, partly thanks to her two as-sistant coaches, she has been able to take her foot off the gas just a tad and focus on improving the team rather than recruiting and devel-oping enough players.

Eventually the target could shift from “win a playoff game” to “win District 3.” That’s probably a few years down the line, and a lot can change, but it’s a goal for the Bull-dogs to strive for.

“I think the girls are just gonna have to be passionate about it,” Rhone said. “And I think they are, but they’re gonna have to see it [es-pecially the freshmen].”

For all three of Grady Clarke’s years on varsity, he has never known a regular sea-son golf match he hasn’t won.

The senior is part of a class at Cumber-land Valley that has not dropped a single match to a team in at least one high school generation. For Clarke, Junior Robison and Connor Kirkwood, all Mid-Penn Confer-ence Championship qualifiers last year, keeping the streak alive is one part of the process for 2018.

Granted, golf doesn’t operate around team wins and losses like many varsity sports. For one, the postseason — both collectively and individually — is where the true test lies, with very little of the regular season having an impact on that. For another, the disparity between teams can be the size of the Mariana Trench, with CV having a sizable advantage in the Mid-Penn Commonwealth because of the pool of students available and, therefore, the depth of the lineup.

“We’re fortunate to have 12, 14 guys that can be competitive,” Eagles coach Erik No-vak said Aug. 15. “I hope the chances are good.”

“I’d say the regular season we should win, but you can never be too confident,” Clarke said.

The Eagles should once again boast a deep lineup that includes the three afore-mentioned seniors, plus juniors Reese Wat-son and Braden Rozell, who are expected to get their first lengthy taste of varsity golf.

They replace the quartet of Max Seeber, Zach Wagner, Trent Golden and Liam Mc-Carver that all graduated, taking with them Mid-Penn, District 3 and PIAA regional experience.

(There’s also Lindsay Seeley, a District 3 Class 3A qualifier last year on the girls side, who is poised to make a deeper run as a sophomore.)

In all, the Eagles have four seniors, five juniors and a handful of freshman, Novak said.

“I like the team aspect of it, but it’s kind of secondary as far as individual stuff is concerned,” he said. “Just having a good

group of guys on the team each year that are competitive with each other […] I think that competition is great and helps im-proves the guys’ games a lot.”

CV will also have the added benefit of long time club pro Bob Nickey as an as-sistant under Novak this year, something the Eagles’ skipper is particularly excited about.

Clarke might be the team’s headliner en-tering the season. He said he focused on his ball-striking during the offseason and has found himself in more favorable situations getting to the greens. As a result, he expects his scores to be closer to 70 than any of his prior seasons.

“I’m a lot more consistent now,” he said. “I can shoot higher scores, but my bad scores have dropped.”

He’s also seen improvements from his teammates, albeit after speaking to The Sentinel just a few practices into the sea-son. The two juniors, Watson and Rozell, have impressed the most in Clarke’s eyes.

Clarke and Kirkwood qualified for the District 3 Class 3A individual tournament last year, but didn’t make the cut for Day 2. If Clarke’s driving the ball better like he said, he should easily cut into the 81 he shot in the first round, as should Kirkwood (85 last year), the only other returning districts qualifier on the boys side.

Seeley is already battle-tested after just one season. She made the second day of districts before struggling in her second round and finishing 19 strokes off the cut for the PIAA East Regional tournament.

“She wants to move on to regionals and potentially move on to have a chance to play at states,” Novak said. “She’s defi-nitely dedicated to the game and working to improve.”

As for the team, the goal is to repeat as Mid-Penn champions and claim another District 3 crown.

“We all have to go out there and have the round of our life,” Clarke said. “It’s not un-reachable.”

The Eagles’ season began Aug. 16 at an invitational at State College, with the first Commonwealth tilt held Monday. They host their only match at Armitage Golf Course on Sept. 6.

The Sentinel

For a girl who has played Sin-gles 1 her first two years of high school, been to multiple Dis-trict 3 tournaments and been an All-Sentinel First Team pick both years, Meg Ulrich is awfully shy.

The Carlisle junior girls tennis leader is quiet and possibly the least demonstrative player in the conference. In fact, she almost detests the very thought of be-ing openly emotional, especially angry, during a match.

“I don’t know,” she said the week before matches started when asked where her calm de-meanor came from. “I don’t ever wanna look like [angry, throwing my racquet].”

For her coach, Seng Pham, it’s one of his favorite things about his No. 1 Singles player.

“She’s very calm,” he said prior to the team’s first practices in August. “Even when she’s down, you can’t tell she’s rattled.”

Ulrich battles with teammate Olivia Gorak-Lacquement, a se-nior who should also make some noise as the Thundering Herd’s No. 2 once again, during practices and the pair get along quite well. They made the District 3 Class 3A doubles tournament last year as well.

The two never clash, even when Pham holds challenges matches to determine who will hold what position for the next regular sea-son match.

“After the match, the sports-manship between the two of them was just a pleasure to see,” Pham said.

“Me and Olivia were on a dif-ferent tennis team [during the offseason], too, so we’re friends anyway,” she said. “As you play tennis for so long, at tournaments you sometimes have to play your friends, so you get used to it.”

Much of her life outside of school revolves around tennis. She played basketball and soc-cer, plus ran track until early in her high school career, but now the 16-year-old assists as a coach on Junior Team Tennis, the club team she plays with as well, in Carlisle with the 12U program.

Ulrich, who Pham said is among the Top 3 best girls he has coached in 20 years, took up the sport in elementary school as she followed her older siblings — sis-ter, Erin, and brother, Ben — to camps and matches. The family’s matriarch, MaryBeth, played a year at the Air Force Academy and taught her kids the sport.

Ulrich remembers flying to the Air Force Academy while her

siblings played at camps and her mom pulling her aside to teach her and hit balls. To this day, mom is always there to make her practice, even when Ulrich doesn’t want to.

“She would always just push me, I guess,” she said.

Phem was first introduced to her during a Carlisle feeder pro-gram event with Rally Ball, where MaryBeth approached him and said, “You’ll be her coach.”

Ulrich reached high school years later, stepped in right away and eventually earned the top spot on the roster as a freshman, and Phem has remained im-pressed by her poise through the years. At nearly 5-foot-9, he said, she’s got the size to go along with

her mindset to do well at No. 1. Ulrich would like to play in col-lege but she has not entered the recruiting phase of her career yet.

“I think her ceiling can be very high as long as she doesn’t get complacent with where she’s at,” Phem said. “If she becomes more aggressive, her game can grow.”

Ulrich said that’s been her fo-cus this offseason as she sets her sights on a deeper postseason run and improving Carlisle’s regular season from last year’s 12-4 (4-2 Commonwealth) mark. Ulrich, in singles and doubles, did not make it out of the first round in District 3 last year.

“Being more confident in my shots, I guess,” she said of her offseason work. “More thinking

through points.”Carlisle is relatively young and

could challenge for a Mid-Penn Commonwealth title thanks to some key graduations on other programs, Phem said. He has his top three singles players back and replaced a doubles pair, and some of the incoming freshman are ex-pected to push for playing time.

Ulrich said the team hopes to make districts again after fall-ing in the first round to Conrad Weiser last year in the Class 3A tournament.

“I’m motivated to help the team the best I can,” she said.
