Quakertown seniors name collegesDavid Campbell
Six seniors. Four schools. Twosports.
Quakertown hosted a signingceremony on Monday afternoonin the high school library. Of thesix signees, four are track andfield standouts. The other twoplay football.
Football standouts Micah Ruchand Matt Stoneback will remainteammates at East Stroudsburg.They also plan to room together.
“It’s always been a dream ofmine to play in college,” Ruchsaid. “After my junior year, Istarted to get contacted byschools that were interested inrecruiting me, so that’s when itreally hit me that I’d probably beplaying at the next level.”
Undecided on a major, Ruchalso considered Bucknell,Kutztown and Shippensburg. Heexpects to line up at either full-back or linebacker for EastStroudsburg.
Ruch may be joined in theWarriors’ backfield byStoneback, another running back.Stoneback picked EastStroudsburg over DelawareValley and King’s.
“They’re a Division II schooland that’s where I wanted toplay,” Stoneback said. “I like thecampus and the football team isgood.”
Intent on majoring in athletictraining, Stoneback started to getthe itch to play college footballearly in the school year.
“I earned the starting spot and
I had a good season, so I figuredI could probably play in col-lege,” he said.
Much like Ruch andStoneback, classmates CasieCronk and Beth Ann Davies willtake their athletic shoes to thesame institution, MoravianCollege.
“I really like the location,”Cronk said. “It made sense finan-cially, and I just fell in love withit. As soon as I visited, I think itwas meant to be.”
Cronk will go out for the highjump. She may also compete inthe 4x400.
“At the beginning of my senioryear, I caught a glimpse it (hertrack and field career) was end-ing and I got really sad, so Ithink I just needed to continue incollege,” said Cronk, who alsolooked at DeSales and Eastern.
Both Cronk and Davies willmajor in nursing.
“I was accepted intoMoravian’s nursing programright away, and you have to workyour way into some programsand I was kind of afraid of that,”said Davies, who selectedMoravian over Gwynedd Mercy.
Davies hopes to pole vault andsprint for the Greyhounds.
“My junior year I kind ofknew I wanted to do it in col-lege,” she said.
Ishmael Wright is eyeing thedecathlon at the University ofRhode Island.
“When I visited, the kids reallymade me feel at home,” he said.“They made me feel like I was
wanted there and it just feltright.”
A standout in, among otherthings, the 300-meter hurdles forQuakertown, Wright will try the400 hurdles in college, too.
Moravian and Shippensburgwere also in his final three. Hewants to explore a major in kine-siology with a focus in physicaltherapy.
“Seventh grade,” Wright said,when asked when it dawned onhim that his athletic days werefar from over. “I loved it. I waslike, ‘I need to go [compete incollege]. I need to try harder. Ineed to do something with it.’ ”
Teammate Andrew Varichionewill head west to Valparaiso inIndiana.
“I was looking out of state,” hesaid. “I just wanted to go some-where new, somewhere exciting.My family is actually fromValparaiso. It’s right down thestreet from my aunt’s house.”
Expected to major in civilengineering, Varichione wentwith Valparaiso over Colorado(Boulder). A standout thrower, heenvisions launching the discus,hammer and shot put, and maybethe javelin, for the Crusaders.
“When I went to states my jun-ior year, I started getting lettersand I was like, ‘Hey, I can actu-ally pursue this in college,’ ”Varichione said on the progres-sion that led him to Valparaiso. “ ‘If I’m actually getting lettersthen I can keep doing this andit’s fun, so I’m okay with it.’ ”[email protected]

Tigers rally to tie JaysDan Beck
It was looking bleak for theDoylestown Tigers heading intothe bottom of the fifth Mondaynight, in a contest against theQuakertownBlue Jays.
Down 6-2, the Tigers seemed headed fortheir sixth loss in six games inBuxMont American Legion play.
A constant drizzle made forwet conditions outside WarMemorial Field on the campus ofCentral Bucks West, and theTigers remained hitless as dark-ness began to creep over theland. But after a pair of walks tolead off the bottom of the fifth,something appeared to change inthe demeanor of the home team.
“We didn’t know if the fifthinning was going to be the last,but we’ve been here before,”Doylestown manager SteveRuane said.
A throwing error put runnerson second and third, with oneout. A passed ball scored a run tomake it 6-3. Ryan Ernst workeda walk, and then catcher JonMullin came up with runners onthe corners. He smacked a triplewell over the leftfielder’s head,bringing the Tigers to within one.Jake Warren was safe on a bunt,plating Mullin and tying thegame at six.
They came up just short,though, as an Aidan Greer linerto right was caught by a slidingCameron Delisle. The umpscalled the game then because ofdarkness, ending it in a 6-6 tie.
The Tigers are winless in theBuxMont league, but 5-8-1 over-all, after Tuesday’s action. Ruanewas still pleased with his squad’sfight late in the contest.
“We’ve had a lot of one-runlosses, but today, we got a muchbetter effort from the guys,” hesaid. “We’re very young andvery inexperienced and we’restill learning, but today was goodfor us.”
Sam Andris pitched well and
kept the Tigers in it. He strandedtwo runners in the first inning,and got a key strikeout in thesecond inning to get out of abases-loaded jam, not allowingthe Blue Jays to break it open.
“I felt all right. It was wet outthere, so I had trouble keepingthe ball down,” Andris, a juniorat Central Bucks East, said.“We’ve been losing a lot of closegames, but we kept our heart init today.”
Mullin’s triple in the fifth wasnot only a decisive moment inthe game, but also the team’sonly hit up to that point. TheTigers’ earlier runs were manu-factured off of a few walks andfielding errors by Quakertown(6-4-1 overall, 2-2-1 BuxMont).
“We knew we were down, butwe just needed to string togethera couple of hits,” Mullin said.
Mullin also scored a run in thebottom of the fourth inning afterreaching on a fielder’s choice.
The Blue Jays got a good out-ing from pitcher SageFuhrmeister, who went three anda third innings of no-hit ball,striking out two. He was relievedby Zack Metz, and then MarkRepsher. Repsher came in withthe bases loaded and forced aninning-ending, rally-killing dou-ble play.
Repsher added an RBI singlein the first and was robbed ofextra bases in the third after aspectacular catch by rightfielderMichael Broderick. CatcherTyler Guidos started a fourth-inning rally with a double todeep left-center. Shortstop JakeReed and Jake Perrine both fol-lowed with RBI doubles.
In the fifth, Quakertownappeared to put the game awayon an RBI double by AaronBesch and an RBI single byGuidos. Travis Woolfendenknocked in Besch with a sacri-fice fly to center to give the BlueJays a four-run lead.
Doylestown wasn’t through,though, tying it up in the finalinning of the abbreviated game.
