23 Leopard Seniors To Be Led Into 2010 Season By New Head Coach John DeMarco Are you Ready For Some Football!  I know Two Things for Sure, our New Head Coach John DeMarco and 23 Hard Working Senior Leopard Football Players are Ready to ROLL! It is definitely an interesting Year for Louisville Football with the opening of the State of the Art Louisville Leopard Stadium and the introduction of a New Head Coach that has patented the prolific Leopard "Spread" Offense for the last Ten Years. It is not like our 2010 Leps won't be prepared for the 2010 Season after 5 Passing Scrimmages and two very impressive Scrimmages versus Canfield and Orrville. Let's Play Some Football----I mean Leopard Football! Our Mighty Leopards will be led by Four Senior Captains who are all coming off of very good 2009 Seasons for The Leps!  #9 Michael Schooley  WR(X)/OLB, #51 Zac Whaley  DL(ST), #44 Mitch Sluss  WR(A)/OLB, and #15 Jeremy White  WR(X)/CB will lead our Leps out of the Tunnel and all four possess All-Ohio potential in the 2010 Leopard Season.  As for excitement, let's meet the 2010 Leopards who will step on the field on Friday, August 27th when our boys travel up north to take on the Walsh Jesuit Warriors!  The Leopard Offense will be lead by Head Coach John DeMarco who serves as our QB Coach and calls all the plays!(Throw The BOMB!!!) Our Leopards are very deep at the QB Position which will be led by Junior #16 Chad Neff and Senior #13 Toby Minster.  Unfortunately, in the Pre-Season Junior #11 Jon Crank suffered an injury that will keep him out a while, but our Leopards will have depth from the Emergence of Fab Frosh #2 Joey Duckworth.  Leopard Legend Brian Beatty will lead the Running Backs in 2010, which is led by Junior #34 Lucas Poyser.  Look to see Seniors #32 Preston Massey, #26 Dylan Wasosky, and #44 Mitch Sluss in the mix at RB.  A new addition to the Leps Coaching Staff is West Liberty Graduate Coach Mike Kane, who is responsible for leading a very talented Wide Receiver Group.  On the outside, look no further than Seniors #15 Jeremy White, #9 Michael Schooley, and #19 Rocco Buccasso.  These three talented Seniors will serve as very key Playmakers in 2010.  On the inside, Junior #24 Dillon Stertzbach and Senior #7 Cody McElroy will play the "Y" as #44 Mitch Sluss(You've Heard This Name At A Couple Positions!) and Senior #33 Matt Dunnerstick will play the  "A".  Seniors #80 Travis Haren and #46 Zach Devitt along with Super Soph #23 Jeremy McQuilkin(McQ!!!!!) will provide depth at Receiver for The Leps! Looking at the Boys Up Front, look no further than Coach Dan Radalia.  Coach Radalia helped Orchestrate this fine Offense and every year Coach Rad reloads up front.  The Leopards are replacing 5 Senior Starters from the 2009, and Coach Rad has definitely found the Boys to do it!  Led by #53 Senior Center Tyler Higgins, Right Tackle will be manned by Senior #60 John Taggart and Left Tackle #54 Jarrod Dawson, with Right Guard Senior #64 Walter Stenroos  and Left  Guard Junior #73 Cole Lautzenheizer will anchor the Five Up Front.  Junior #79 Sam Pickens and Junior #57 Tyler Brahler may see extensive playing time on Friday Nights also.  Providing Depth up Front will be Senior #52 Tony McGonagle, Juniors #75 Trey Province, #59 Blake Vernier, #58 Andy Hodous, #66 Joel Lynch, and #74 Andrew Frederick. Depth, Depth, Depth-Oh Yah!!! Special Teams is led by Coach Mike Norris along with interaction from Head Coach John DeMarco.  This is a Phase that is becoming more and more important in Leopard Football and the large numbers that are Roster has produced, many of our young Players and Loyal Seniors get their shot to shine with these units!  Kicking Coach Dustin Nicholas had worked all off-season with our Record Setting Kicker Senior #87 Jaron Lohmeyer.  #87 Lohmeyer is a huge Weapon for Leopard Football that will be vital in our success.  Senior #13 Toby Minster will handle the holding.  As for Punter, the Leps currently have three guys in the mix, which include Senior #6 Logan Henkel, Junior #16 Chad Neff and Junior #20(My Favorite Number!) Aaron Reynolds.  Look for Seniors #5(FIVE!!!!!) Zach Schillig, #33 Matt Dunnerstick, #7 Cody McElroy, and #26 Dylan Wasosky to play major roles on Special Teams for the Leps!  Also, Trainer Lance Sermon is a key member of our Leopard Football Team as he returns to assist in making sure our Boys Stay and Get Healthy!-Well Done Lance! Defense! Defense!! DEFENSE!!!---our Slobber Knockin' 5-3 Defense is led by Coordinator Nick Lewis.  Many questions are raised when you lose some of the personnel our Leps lost in the Front Eight, but never fear this is Freakin' Leopard Football!-We Reload We Don't Rebuild.  Let's start with the "D" Line and Coach Mike Norris on the Interior and Coach Adam Burris who heads up the Defensive End position.  Senior #51  Zac Whaley will lead the "D" Line at Strong Tackle, which will include Nose Guard Senior #68 Tyler Dreher, and Quick Tackle Senior #32 Preston Massey who moved from Linebacker and will still provide depth at the position.  Look for Senior #76 Jordan Cramer as well as Juniors #79 Sam Pickens and #57 Tyler Brahler to get plenty of Snaps in the Rotation.  At Defensive End, Senior #47 Christian Duckworth will be key along with Two Stud Juniors #81 Jake Sluss and #16 Chad Neff who both excelled in 2009 at the position.  Senior #19 Rocco Buccasso, Junior #8 Connor Ruffier, and Junior #75 Trey Province should provide Depth at all positions.  Assistant Head Coach and Linebacker Coach Troy Davis will lead a Hard Hitting Crew with Two Senior Captains, #9 Michael Schooley and #44 Mitch Sluss will play the Outside Linebacker positions.  These two All-Ohio Players will be very important in our 2010 Success.  Junior #20 Aaron Reynolds, Senior #26 Dylan Wasosky, and #7 Cody McElroy will provide Depth on the Outside.  The Middle Linebacker position is being taken over by Super Stud Junior #34 Lucas Poyser(Names such as Potts, Poyser, Power, Elsass, Etc….).  #32 Preston Massey will provide depth in the middle.  The Defensive Backs are led by "D" Coordinator Nick Lewis.  Our 2010 Leopards were dealt a serious blow when two-way Standout Junior #25 Adam Nees was lost for the Season with a Knee Injury.  #25 Nees is a shut down Cornerback and our Entire Leopard Family wishes Adam a Healthy Recovery, and we will see that All-Ohio Potential in 2011 for The Leps!  The DB's are led by Senior Captain #15 Jeremy White at Cornerback.  #15 White is a Tremendous Performer that is set for a Record Breaking Year for our Leopards.  The other side will be manned by Newcomer Junior #24 Dillon Stertzbaugh, who was the Team MVP for CCC in 2009.(Go Knights!)  Welcome Back #24, We Are Glad To Have You!  Sophomore #23 Jeremy McQuilkin had a Great Camp and is in the mix at CB along with Junior #14 Gavin Lovejoy.  At Safety, the new Number FIVE!!!!!(I'm a little Bias to this number!) Senior #5 Zach Schillig worked his tail off in the off season and is looking to have a Great Season for the Leps.  Senior #33 Matt Dunnerstick has moved from Linebacker and should play a key role at Safety also.
