Roby put up head-turning numbers
and was phenomenal in the backfield,
in the flat and on defense. He rushed
for 1,449 yards — 908 in his last three
games, including 408 against Plum
— and caught 52 passes. He scored
25 touchdowns.
“Roby,” Bowen said. “They come
along once in a while. He will be awfully
hard to replace. He had a great
senior season and a great three-year
career.”
Senior Mario Perkins, whose junior
season was stunted by injuries,
will step into Roby’s offensive role.
Senior Demetrius Murphy also will
get carries.
“He will do a lot of what Roby did,”
Bowen said of Perkins. “Losing him
last year changed our team dynamic.”
Said Perkins, “I know I have a bigger
role this year, and the coaches
and I are preparing for this season.”
At quarterback, the quest to replace
drop-back passer Blake Remaley
(1,625 yards, 17 TDs) comes down
to two candidates: Senior Christian
Zilli, a talented baseball player, is
out for football again, and sophomore
Jake Phillips is a rising talent.
Zilli played as a freshman but focused
on baseball and basketball the
last two years.
Senor Sean Knight is the lone returning
starter on the line.
He has played center, guard and
tackle but likely will be the center
this season.
Senior Roman Pellis returns as a
go-to receiver. He had 32 catches for
456 yards last season.
Junior Daniel Sierk (6-4, 220) is the
tight end. On defense, Knight anchors
the line, with Perkins and Murphy at
linebacker. Murphy moves over from
cornerback.
Senior Taylor Dunn, junior Jayden
Talbert and senior Josh Winkowski
are others competing for spots in the
secondary.
A good-looking group of sophomores
will look to contribute. It includes
Ian Tuffs, Andy Vallano, Ethan
Manley, Gino Caesar and others.
