When he goes to the line with a football, others probably think it is a little strange that someone around six feet tall and under 200 pounds as a lineman. But Tripp has a special talent that others are taking note of – especially when he has the football in his hand.

Head Coach Nick Rulewicz is entering his fourth year at the helm for the Panthers. “He is dedicated to the team and the sport. A big family man. His family is part of the Panther Football Family. He helps kids achieve their dreams (recruiting, camps, jobs)” the players said of Rulewicz. Key returning players include all-region QB Reed Myers who threw for nearly 1,500 yards on a 62% completion rate last year. Senior Kicker Noah Berdiner also returns for Western as the team’s fastest player. Berdiner was voted…
