Offseason Outlook: Catasaqua Rough Riders

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was a season of ups and downs for the rough riders in 2022. They started their season in a very tough manner, losing three straight to Northern Lehigh, Palmerton, and Marian Catholic including two in blowout fashion. After that, they would win five straight and seven of their next eight games. Their season would come to an end unfortunately with back-to-back losses to Executive Education Academy Charter School and Northampton. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key Losses</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR [player_tooltip player_id='358113' first='Wyatt' last='Younes']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB [player_tooltip player_id='92083' first='Anthonie' last='Hunsicker']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>C Dylan Kalynych</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DE Javier Sobrado</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB Ezra Garcia</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB Christian Fye<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/pennsylvania-prepredzone-2026-player-breakdowns-no-1-no-5/">MUST READ: </a><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/05/2026-player-breakdowns-no-21-no-30/">2026 Player Breakdowns: No.11- No.20 </a></strong>| <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/05/franklin-regional-panther-preview/">FRANKLIN REGIONAL PANTHER PREVIEW</a> | <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/05/hawks-2025-hot-western-pa-prospects/">HAWK'S 2025 HOT WESTERN PA PROSPECTS</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key Returnees</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024 WR Ian Juica</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024 LB Christian Beller Jr</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024 RB Jyzaiah Bonilla</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 QB [player_tooltip player_id='1077301' first='Aiden' last='Hess']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024 OG [player_tooltip player_id='91566' first='Miles' last='Melendez']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 OT [player_tooltip player_id='919522' first='Matthew' last='Fotta']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2024 WR Dylan Pacheco</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 FS Jordan Bradshaw</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2025 OT Jacob Ramos</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 DE [player_tooltip player_id='1352815' first='Chris' last='Wellington']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 WR Josiah Lanfond</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 WR Manny Andrews</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 Season Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Catasaqua does lose a few key players but they return so much talent from last year's teams. I'm especially excited to see what Jyzaiah Bonilla could do after a nice 600-yard campaign last fall. At wide receiver, Ian Juica is also very intriguing 451 yards and seven touchdowns. 2024 linebacker Christian Beller Jr is a legitimate college talent on the defensive side of the ball, he had a team-high 180 tackles last year including 18.0. If their defense can perform to the level they did last season, allowing under 18 points per game, this offense should have a chance to put up big numbers as long as they figure out their quarterback spot. </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/">Wyomissing</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><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/offseason-outlook-jim-thorpe-olympians/">Jim Thorpe Olympians</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/offseason-outlooklehighton-indians/">Lehighton</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/offseason-outlook-saucon-valley/">Saucon Valley</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/offseason-outlook-wilson-area-warriors/">Wilson Area</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.
