Senior Ryan Stutler, slot receiver of the
Viking 2013-14 football team, is sad and nervous for his final season. He wants to go out on a high note, which
could understandably put on some pressure.
Even though he’s been playing since he was six, his favorite memory was
when our team won against South Charleston last year. If you were to ask him what his favorite high
school memory is, Stutler would pause and think. “I couldn’t even tell you.” One of his favorites, though, was when he and
coach Steve Sayre had to trade shoes.
Stutler forgot his cleats so he used Sayre’s, which led to Sayre having
to wear Stutler’s high-top Adidas.
The new coach is a change from the past
three years at Ripley, but Stutler likes him and he thinks the new coach knows
what he is doing. Stutler has actually
been coached by him before.
“The summer training went great as
well. We wished more players came out,
but the ones that were there worked hard and got stronger,” Stutler said.
Stutler is still undecided on where he wants
to go to college, but he is thinking about the University of Charleston to
study sports management. Of course, he’d
like to play football there, too.
Stutler wants the fans to know that he will
continue to work hard, stay dedicated, and help the team have a successful
season this year.
When he is not playing football, he is
preparing to run track. His events are
the 100 and 200 meter dash, and the 4x100 and 4x200 meter relays.
Despite the nerves, the fans are sure that
Stutler’s dedication will help the senior players have an amazing final season
filled with triumphant memories.
