A Replogle, again, playing big for Centerville defense
With two Replogle brothers still in the Centerville football program to continue the family tradition of competitive spirit, coach Ron Ullery has to wonder what the family’s house was like when all four boys were youngsters.
“There had to be some serious driveway basketball games,” Ullery said.
Continuing the line started by older brothers Tyler and Adam, Elks junior Mike Replogle had perhaps his best varsity game last Friday, Oct. 16, in Centerville’s 32-0 defeat of Northmont. The linebacker totaled 15 tackles, three tackles for loss, a forced fumble and a pass breakout (a fourth-down hit heard throughout the stadium).
The win helped the Elks (7-1, 3-0) take control of the Greater Western Ohio Conference Central Division heading into the Dayton Daily News Game of the Week against Wayne.
Two other Elks defenders — defensive backs Bryan Kiger (seven tackles, interception, fumble recover) and John Ehrensberger (six tackles, two forced fumbles) — had standout games against Northmont, but Replogle was the leader.
“He has the same business-like approach to football, Ullery said.
The fourth Replogle brother, Jake, is a freshman. He practices several days a week with the varsity but plays in the freshman games.
One wonders why there aren’t holes all over the Replogle family walls with the brothers’ competitive spirit.
“I’m not so sure,” Ullery said, “that there’s not.”
