had a young team with the
majority of players being sophomores or juniors.
This year, they’re all juniors and seniors and are much more
of a physical threat. Stanley stated the players are committed
in the weight room during the off-season as well.
During practices, Stanley makes the team first watch
football footage before entering the weight room. Then when
they get onto the field they work on the different sides of the
ball, constantly going back and forth between offense and
defense. This up tempo energetic approach to practice helps
the players keep a strong physical foundation and helps the
coach and assistant coaches evaluate which players are best
for which positions.
“ ONE PLAY AT A TIME,
ONE WEEK AT A TIME”
Stanley is proud of all his players, but if he had to think
of one that made a huge impact this season, it’s Quarterback
Ray Catapano, number 10. Billed at 6’2’’ from hudl.com,
Catapano is on a different offensive level this year than last,
Stanley explained adding, having a total of 28 touchdowns
and 0 interceptions.
