Roncalli and Chatard are GCL type teams. They don't have a ton of speed like you see in the GMC, but they have a lot of good football players. Roncalli line was huge and their RB is setting rushing records. It was a great road win for Elder. I would have liked to see Elder win that game easier, but on the road going to Indy against a good team is not easy. Chatard had a very good QB, and the defense played really well. Elder got the lead and just seemed very conservative on offense. If Elder ever would open their passing game up this year, you would have seen some higher scoring games, because Elder QB has a good arm and is very accurate. It's just been ball control, get yards on the ground, and pick spots to pass this year. It's hard to argue against what they are doing, because it's worked so well so far.
Elder LBs are very good led by the senior Voelkerding and junior Dugan. Hoerenschmeyer is a returning starter and Paff has turned in a surprisingly good season after being a backup early on. The sophomore Arnold is getting D1 looks, but he has been playing through a shoulder injury and just has a ways to go to improve as a LB on the Varsity level. His potential is very high. Elder's fullback is a bruiser and has been very important to Elder's run game success this year.
