Titans Will Capitalize on Strong Senior Class

The 2007 season will mark the sixth season at the helm for head coach Doug Pearson. The previous five seasons culminated in a record of 40-17 with four playoff appearances. The Titans this season will continue to use the spread option offense while the defense will feature a 4-4 attack.

 

“We have always tried to reach a consistent balance on both sides of the ball between the talent that we have and the schemes we want to use. This year’s team has worked hard to prepare themselves for one of the toughest schedules in school history,” claimed Coach Pearson. With out of league contests against Findlay, Columbus DeSales, and Strongsville, the Titans will face strong opponents even before they enter play in the formidable City League.

Rick Rattay ‘08 and Walt Anderson ‘09 at quarterback will lead the offense. Handling the ball at running back will be the trio - DaJon Booth ‘08, Ian Gaston ’09, and Allen Crews ‘09.

Catching passes on the perimeter will be any of the following wide receivers: Pat O’Hearn ‘08, Chris Macino ‘08, Mike Weiher ‘08, Mike White ‘09, and Matt Sulewski ‘08. Luke Chalfant ‘08, Tim Mahoney ‘08, and Ryan Ball ’08 will handle tight end chores. The offensive line will be comprised of Andrew Schaetzke ‘08, Austin Steinhauser ‘08, Dane Peters ‘08, Justin Leahey ‘08, Michael McClellan ‘08, Jarrett Klingbeil ’08, Jack Mewhort ’09, and Tyler Webster ‘09.

Defensively the Titans will use a large collection of personnel to control the opposing offenses. The defensive line will feature the group of Schaetzke, Leahey, Mewhort, Darrick Colbert ‘09, Mahoney, and Tim Kynard ‘09. The inside linebackers will be seniors Ball and Max Jacoby ‘08 while the outside linebackers will be Chalfant and Hunter Lent ‘09. In the defensive secondary expect to see Rattay at free safety and Ian Gaston ‘09 and Kevin Buno ‘09 at cornerback.
