One of Rubrecht’s top targets should be
senior Christian Hostetler, who had 19
catches for 237 yards and a touchdown.
Sophomore Kai Brunot is expected to assume
the running back duties. He replaces
J.C. Wallish, who graduated. He saw valuable
action late in the season. Sophomore
Brady Smith could see time in the backfield,
while sophomore Peyton Chismar is
being groomed as Rubrecht’s backup.
Also back on offense are senior center
Christian McChesney, right tackle Kaleb
Riggs, left tackle Ayden Thompson and slot
back Jeremy Wallish.
Sophomore Azreal Franklin and senior
Isaiah Payne are expected to compete for
the guard spots.
Keefer said four or five players could
see playing time at wide receiver, while
Julian Stevens and Blake Leone will be
the tight ends.
One of the biggest holes Keefer must fill
is at nose tackle after Billy McChesney
graduated and now wrestles at Columbia.
Keefer said McChesney was a disruptive
force up front.
“He’s a big loss, but we still can be a solid
defense,” Keefer said. “We just have to limit
big plays.”
On the defensive side of the ball, back are
Rubrecht at safety, Christian McChesney,
Thompson and Riggs on the line, Wallish
and Bruno in the secondary and Julian
Stevens at linebacker.
The Golden Lions finished 5-5 overall
and 3-4 in the WPIAL Class 4A Greater
Allegheny Conference. They were alive for
a postseason berth until the end when they
were edged by Plum, 30-27.
Greensburg Salem also will face numerous
new opponents after dropping to
the Class 3A Interstate Conference. The
Golden Lions are in a conference with Belle
Vernon, Elizabeth Forward, Mt. Pleasant,
Southmoreland and South Allegheny. The
nonconference schedule includes rival
Hempfield, Derry, Ligonier Valley, Deer
Lakes and East Allegheny.
It will be the first time in school history
that the Golden Lions will face Deer Lakes,
East Allegheny and South Allegheny.
“The new conference should create some
excitement,” Keefer said. “We’ll be playing
some new and some local teams. It should
be a nice addition.” DAVE KEEFER
