Offseason Outlook: Jim Thorpe Olympians

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In today's offseason outlook, we take a look at the Jim Thorpe Olympians who are under the direction of long-time head coach Mark Rosenberger. It was a tough 2022 season for the Olympians going 3-8 overall including 3-6 in conference play. The Olympians despite going 3-8 actually scored more points than they allowed this season, scoring 306 points this season while allowing 302 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite their record, the Olympians were a formidable opponent this season. They had multiple close losses including Blue Mountain, Notre Dame-Green Pond, Northern Lehigh, and Lehighjton. In their wins, however, they were dominant. 48-12 over Salisbury Township, 66-14 over Pine Grove, and 42-6 over Tamaqua. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key Losses</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DE Bryson Heydt</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LB Dominic Beger</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OC Nathaniel Lopez</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dawson Meckes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB Brett Balliet</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OT Paul Rutledge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR David Fiorito</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key Returnees</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB [player_tooltip player_id='557811' first='Salvatore' last='Capria']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DT [player_tooltip player_id='377046' first='Noah' last='Rosahac']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR Justin Yesscavage</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR Joshua Spruill</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB [player_tooltip player_id='1158413' first='Cole' last='Lazorick']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB Vincent Letosky</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB Michael Antignani</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>FB Benjamin Goldberg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR Aaron Curran</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OG Zachary Lopez</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR Noah Pastor</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>JR Chase Whaley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 Season Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The good news for Jim Thorpe heading into this season is that they will return most of their talent from last season headlined by running back [player_tooltip player_id='557811' first='Salvatore' last='Capria'] and defensive tackle [player_tooltip player_id='377046' first='Noah' last='Rosahac'], a Syracuse commitment. WR Justin Yesscavage is one of the more underrated wide receivers in the state as well. For the Olympians, this upcoming season will e about closing the gap against teams like Bangor, North Schuylkill, Palmerton, and Notre Dame-Green Pond among others. There's plenty of talent for the Olympians and Rosenberger is one of the best coaches in the state with a long track record of success. I have no doubts he'll have that program back on the right track in the near future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Other Previews to check out:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/pennsylvania-off-season-program-outlook-wyomissing/">Wyomssing</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/offseason-outlook-pottsville-bangor-slaters/">Bangor</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/pennsylvania-off-season-program-outlook-penn-manor/">Penn Manor</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/pennsylvania-offseason-outlook-northwestern-lehigh-tigers-football/">Northwestern Lehigh</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/offseason-outlook-blue-mountain-eagles/">Blue Mountain</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/offseason-outlook-notre-dame-green-pond-crusaders/">Notre Dame Green Pond Crusaders</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>REGISTER FOR THE PREPREDZONE PROSPECT TOUR IN MANHEIM ON MAY 6</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://events.prepredzone.com/info?website_id=4&amp;event_id=753">Don't forget to register for our PrepRedzone Prospect Tour on May 6 in Manheim</a><strong>.&nbsp;</strong>Spots are limited, so be sure to register as soon as possible to ensure your own spot.
