SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 2017 · 15 Playoff absence motivates Penn-Trafford Ruane said the Warriors want to “verticallystretch the field” and get the ball to their playmakers. “We have a quarterback who understands the game and a couple of good leaders on the line,” said Ruane,who is 59-19 in eight seasons. The quarterback is senior Cam Laffoon (6-foot-2, 190 pounds), who completed58.5 percent of his passes last season for 1,641 yards and 18 touchdowns against only three interceptions. Theall-conference senior linemen areWillMayr (6-1, 240) andHawkins (6-2, 270), an Akron recruit. A pair of three-year starters, both play offensive tackle and defensive end. Ruane said the Warriors have several capable running backs, led by senior John Gay IV, along with junior Jon Peduzzi, sophomoreCalebLisbon and senior Nico Santimauro. SeniorsCamSumanand Anthony Cervone, junior Dimitri Georgeand Lisbon arereceiving targets forLaffoon. Suman caught 21 passes for 483 yards last year. Ruane said GatewayandMcKeesport are the front-runners inthe Big East but thinks his team is capable of joining the conversation. “That’s the beauty of 5A,”Ruane said. “Parity is real.” In a conference known for big plays, the Warriors thrived on defense, allowing a Big East-low 15.1 points per game. They gave up 151 points, but 42 came against defending conference champ Armstrong. Bill Beckner Jr. is a Tribune-Reviewstaff writer. Reach himat bbeckner@tribweb.com or viaTwitter@BillBeckner.
