Woodstown at work

Wolverines see plenty of good things, others that need work, typical of a scrimmage with a young team

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

WOODSTOWN – The quarterback competition in Woodstown’s preseason camp might be “still close” after Tuesday night’s scrimmage with Audubon, but with just nine days before the season opener the young Wolverines may have found their running back.

Sophomore Brayden Hall showed the speed, power and agility required of a lead back against the Green Wave. He rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns and accounted for 114 yards of offense in an exercise the Wolverines won 22-13.

“I think Brayden is a very special athlete,” Woodstown coach Frank Trautz said. “I think him and Cole (Ware), they’re going to be a really, really dangerous duo for us for the next three years. Both are really great kids, great athletes. Those are two of the most I’m excited to see.

“To speak on Brayden’s behalf, he’s a special athlete. He can do some things not a lot of kids can do.”

Trautz has been anticipating having Hall, Ware and the rest in the program since their not-too-long-ago days in youth football. Hall intended to play last year alongside his senior brother, but didn’t last the season. Tuesday night against the Green Wave he didn’t look like a player who hadn’t carried the ball in two years.

It didn’t start sharp. He was stopped for no gain on his first carry and lost four yards on a shovel pass the next time he got it. Trautz called the whole team out to midfield about that time to settle them down and it did the trick.

Hall accounted for 18 yards the next two times he touched the ball. He scored the first touchdown of the scrimmage on a 15-yard run 3:30 before the end of the varsity half and later on a 2-yard walk-in during the overtime drill. His 15-yard TD run came with a stutter step that froze the defenders. He also caught a 23-yard pass on fourth down to keep that OT drill touchdown drive alive.

“I just wanted to really get comfortable back there on the high school level, bigger kids, just get comfortable,” he said.  “It’s a big step from Little League to up here. It’s a lot more competitive, a lot more heavy – heavy hitters, bigger people. There’s more speed. It’s more of a competition that you’ve got to get the job done when you’ve got to get it done.”

Going into the scrimmage Trautz was starting to get an idea who would be his starting quarterback on Opening Night against Pitman. When it ended he had a few more things to think about.

It’s been a tight battle between freshman Frankie Hoerst and sophomore Mason Middlemiss. They bring two different styles and a lot of upside to the game. Both did some good things in the scrimmage, but Middlemiss may have gotten the best of it.

Hoerst, a strong passer who already holds an offer from Syracuse, hit on nine of 10 passes for 91 yards and led a touchdown drive in the OT drill. He was 4-for-4 for 47 yards and had a 9-yard run to get inside the 10 in the two-minute drill at the end of the varsity half, but ran out of time before getting a shot at the end zone. He directed the offense to 150 net yards on 27 snaps.

Middlemiss, the runner who played last season at Absegami, produced 205 yards of offense on 32 snaps and directed a pair of 11-play touchdown drives. He was 3-for-3 for 68 yards passing in the JV third quarter and rushed for 57 yards total. 

“I think it’s still close,” Trautz said of the race. “They both showed signs of doing things really well. They’re two different styles of quarterbacks, so I was happy with things they both did. It’s going to be one of those (situations) where we’re going to go look at the film and we’re going to have to have a discussion as a coaching staff because we’ve got to get ready to play a game next Thursday.”

He expects to have a better idea about the starter once Pitman makes its scrimmage film available and the Wolverines can start game planning for their August 28 opener. Both quarterbacks are expected to play in the game.

“We’re two different type players so it’s hard to decide as a coach and it’s very understandable,” Middlemiss said. “As a mobile quarterback, I can run. Frankie has a big arm. But we’re two good quarterbacks who could mix in the offense and it’d be harder for a defense to figure out what they’re going to do against us.”

Defensively, the Wolverines gave up only two touchdowns, both on plays they were milliseconds from stopping. The first came on a 71-yard fourth-down pass to an open receiver in the middle of the field with Bradley Snitcher bearing down on the quarterback. The second came in the OT drill when the Green Wave slipped past Woodstown sophomore Antonio Merendino’s potential fifth sack of the scrimmage, fourth of the drill and second of the series.

“Our defense over the years has always been a staple here; I see that continuing,” Trautz said. “We want to play an aggressive style of football, physical; that’s what Woodstown football is known for. Now it’s these kids’ turn to embrace that and continue that legacy here.”

Next group up

With only two returning starters, Woodstown faces ‘a different challenge’ heading into Trautz’ second season

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

WOODSTOWN – It used to be real easy to find a seat in the Woodstown quarterback room. Now, not so much.

In the years coming out of COVID, the position was clearly Max Webb’s domain and he sat in the front row. When he graduated, the torch passed to his cousin Jack Holladay, who stepped in seamlessly despite not playing much as a junior and carried it until a shoulder injury derailed him in the sixth game of the season.

This year, though, you’ve got to get in early to find a seat as the Wolverines have no fewer than six players with quarterback experience/designations attached to their name – but only two with (limited) varsity experience at the position and none of whom have thrown a varsity pass in a Woodstown uniform.

“It’s the first time (me) being at Woodstown we’re having a true QB competition heading into camp,” second-year head coach Frank Trautz said. “Competition is good for every position. It’s what drives everybody. It’s a good thing.”

Offseason workouts and experiences have created some separation. When the Wolverines open preseason camp Monday, the depth chart will show sophomore Mason Middlemiss and freshman Frankie Hoerst at the top of the list.

Middlemiss has the most varsity experience. He was with the Wolverines last summer, then moved to Absegami, where he completed 4-of-7 passes for 64 yards – all in a win over Cumberland. He’s more of a dual-threat quarterback, like Webb, and has been getting glowing reviews from his offseason camp/showcase work.

Hoerst is a prototypical pocket passer, like Holladay or second-half starter Garrett Leyman, with a big arm. The 6-4, 195-pounder already has an offer from Syracuse after throwing in a private session for the coaches after five games at a camp in which he twice produced wins on the final play.

Trautz said he’ll have to see more of them with live action in camp to determine who might emerge as the starter and what other roles they may play, but he’s excited with the prospects.

“It’s going to be a tough competition between the two of them,” he said. “It already has been in the summer, so it’s just going to heat up as we get into camp with the pads on and everything.

“I’m excited to see what both of them are able to do. They might be inexperienced in terms of varsity stats, but the talent is there and they’re not inexperienced in terms of their quarterback skills.”

For better or worse, after running through what Trautz called “two really good senior classes” the Wolverines have plenty of open spots in the lineup for those who don’t win the quarterback sweepstakes to find spots on the field.

Senior Lucas Fulmer, who finished the Haddon Heights game after Holladay got hurt and led the offense to a fourth-quarter touchdown with a reduced playbook in his varsity debut, will be a starting receiver.

Sophomore Cole Ware moves into leading rusher Bryce Belinfanti’s spot at running back. He ran for 35 yards in last year’s playoff opener with KIPP and is coming off a big summer in which he played in the national flag football tournament and was a finalist for 14U Player of the Year.

Senior Anthony Costello and junior Noah Chiu also are listed with quarterback experience and will be receivers and defensive backs.

The Wolverines have just come through one of the most successful cycles in the program’s history, but as Trautz admits, “we’re replacing a lot of guys.” With just two returning starters – RB/DB Bryceton Rooney and lineman Aiden Taulane – the cycle begins anew. And it starts with a couple young quarterbacks in a crowded room.

While It may be “the next group up,” the standard remains the same.

“I’m excited about everybody we have, really,” Trautz said. “I know we’ve had two really good senior classes that have just graduated, but we have a lot of good young talent, so it’s not just these two at the quarterback position. We have good young talent across all positions.

“It’s a different challenge for sure this year, but it’s an exciting one because of what I think we’ll be able to build with this young group. It’s the next group up; it’s their turn now. They’re very excited, too, to be the ones on Friday night now. I’m excited to see what they can do. It’s a group we have for the next two, three years and they’re going to do, hopefully, some special things together. This is the beginning of it.”

The last leg

As the relay’s lone senior, Woodstown’s Lucas runs last race with his 4×800 buddies at the New Balance Nationals

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

WOODSTOWN – When Cole Lucas was looking for a sport to play in high school Reggie Teemer encouraged him to try track. It will change your life, the coach told the incoming freshman. It turned out to work both ways.

On the eve of the final race weekend of his high school career Lucas admitted the choice to run track in the spring did change his life. But his impact on the Woodstown track program, especially its decorated 4×800 relay team, has been equally profound.

Since getting put together prior to last year’s South Jersey sectionals specifically to challenge to one team, the quartet of Lucas, Karson Chew, Jacob Marino and Josh Crawford has won state championships and set records many times over with Lucas serving as the reliable setup man to Crawford’s clinching anchor.

But the end of their partnership is near. The last time the Fast Four runs together is Friday night in the New Balance Nationals in Philly’s Franklin Field. Three members of the group will return next year, but Lucas, as the lone senior, will be moving on to the next level.

“I’m going to be very emotional after I finish, but I’m still going to give it my all while I’m running it,” he said. “I don’t think it’s going to hit me until after that it’s going to be my last high school race with them.

“I’m definitely going to miss those three. We’re like brothers now. It’s crazy how close we’ve become in these couple of years. I’m going to miss them so much. It hasn’t hit me too much yet, but it will eventually. The memories I’ve made are going to be unforgettable. Teemer said it would change my life and it did.”

Woodstown’s 4×8 is among 11 Salem County athletes competing in six events at the national high school outdoor championships.

Salem’s Anthony Parker is in the boys long jump and Raniyah Parsons-Smith is in the freshman girls 100. Schalick’s boys 4×100 relay (Michael Eberl, Zaeshawn Mills, Reggie Allen, David Stewart), who’ve run the second fastest time in Group I history, is in the field and Navaeh Robinson is entered in the freshman girls javelin. And in addition to the 4×8, Crawford and Lucas will run in the deep individual 800.

There are 99 teams in the 4×8 that will be scored on time, meaning the Wolverines have one shot to shine. Their hope is to run 7:50 – or better. The meet record is 7:36.26.

One thing about this group, when they want something they go after it. They needed to meet the New Balance qualifying standard in the Meet of Champions – their final NJSIAA meet together – and did it in record time (7:54.84).

“I don’t think I’ll ever find another group of guys on the track team at the next level as close are we are,” said Lucas, who’s heading to Marist next year to run indoor and outdoor track.

The feeling is mutual.

“Everybody has their own job, everybody’s making sure our team is dominating and doing well, but Cole really has one of the most important jobs,” Chew said. “If me and Jacob don’t execute the way we want to, he’s there to (bring it back). He’s basically our Mr. Reliable. He’s the most reliable guy on the team and he makes sure we get back that spot that we need for Josh to finish with.”

Amazingly, the unit has only been together for two years. They were put together right before last year’s sectional championship to give Woodbury a run of its money, but it turned into so much more.

“We just wanted to beat Woodbury, we didn’t necessarily care about beating anybody else,” Lucas said. “When we got together that was our main goal, trying to beat Woodbury, and it turned out we beat the whole state.”

Multiple times.

But now it’s coming to an end. The whole group wants to run well for their legacy, but the underclassmen want to go, go, go to give their senior a memorable send off.

“Our plan is to go in there and dominate as much as we possibly can,” Chew said. “It’s the last race of our season and for us three it’s the last race of our career with Cole. We have to make this worth it. We’re going to run our … hearts out and do everything we can to give him a real big send off for the end of his high school career.”
