ARCADIA SPORTS PAGE TOO ARCADIA SPORTS PAGE TOO Page 60 August 2012 Titans Continued from page 58 On defense, the Titans will be relying on free safety Collin Palecek to make calls for the secondary and defend the deep ball. As a sophomore last year, Palecek was brought up from JV to varsity and will be the only defensive starter with varsity game experience. Joining him on the fi eld will be Andrew Andrade, who was promoted from freshman to JV last year to prepare him for playing varsity this year. Andrade will play corner and gunner, a pass covering/ pass rushing hybrid who typically lines up between the cornerback and outside linebacker. The rest of the defensive roster, including the three linemen and three linebackers, won’t be determined until the coaches get a chance to see how players perform in pads during training camp. Even then, it might take a couple of games for the Titans to settle on their defensive front. The team will probably use more of a committee approach than in previous years, and, if necessary, could rely on more experienced offensive players such as Allen and Turelli to bolster the d-line rotation. Though there are always challenges when a defense graduates all 11 starters, Turelli has con fi dence that the new players will fi ll in capably. “With how our defense is setup, as long as guys are paying attention, we’ll be able to throw them in and they’ll do just fi ne,” he said. Last year’s senior-laden team set high expectations for this year’s younger, less experienced squad. Ellison admits the team is going into the season with more unknowns. Last season’s success, he said, was the result of players being dedicated to improving themselves as football players by working hard in the weight room and in fi lm study, and that it is up to this year’s players to commit to putting the same effort into how they prepare. Fortunately for the Titans, many of the players seem to be taking the example set by last year’s team to heart, culminating in what Ellison called the best offseason yet during his tenure at the school. Nerves might be a concern early in the season, but once players settle in, he’s con fi dent the players will reap the bene fi ts of their preparation, even if there are early bumps in the road. “It’s like I tell the players . . . I’ve really known people to study hard for a test and then fail it,” he said. Yet another thing to think about on that bus ride to Coronado.
