If a footballer caught around Shippensburg Senior High on their phones Royal Clash game, blame someone other than Cody Gustafson.
Yes, that is responsible for a large part to mobile gaming addicted Greyhounds receiver. And it is not just a casual player. Oh no, Gustafson in to win it.
Gustafson competing with his teammates and even teachers. Quarterback Carter Van Scyoc can boast that it has more titles than the passage of Deft receiver, but it seems to be about.
"I have this thing had always where if I am something the best that will be," said Major last week in practice.
Good for coach Eric Gustafson Foust and companies on the ground, the same unit used where it is 1 destination for the first start of the year Van Scyoc the undisputed number. Foust knew first, it could have something special when he saw Gustafson play in the ninth grade.
"My concern is the best footballer can you can be sure, and worked hard to get here," Foust said.
"Here," he is days away from a smaller station buildings if Gustafson caught 53 passes for 801 yards and five touchdowns. He led the team in most receiving categories; Only died Mills Wade, were affected (11). Throughout his career Gustafson caught 85 balls for 1,270 yards and six touchdowns. He wants to break 1,000 yards in his final year.
Greyhounds departed from its energy performance brand game last season for an open attack, which was designed to Gustafson and Mills on the ball. It worked very well in the first year, with greyhounds nearly 300 yards per game (169.8 in the air), on average, and an equal number of the country concerned and the reception (18).
It was a welcome experience Foust learning coach for a long time.
"I think we learned a lot on our passing game (last year)," he said. "I think the most important thing we learned is that we must be crisp on our roads."
The 6-foot-2 rush Gustafson not big brother Tyler (Grove City) to spend this year, but he and Van Scyoc are close friends off the field. The pair of fast chemical suspected when the team starts the season Friday against Dover Shippensburg Memorial Park.
"He has a great running track and can catch the speed and the ball is also very good," Van Scyoc said. "I feel like I give a chance of 1 to 1, throw the ball where it can catch a ball bounce up or throw and get it."
"Carter made a difficult job," Foust said, adding that Gustafson to leave usually the first player in practice and the last. "It is obvious that Carter go out and shoot him."
This year with the second Adam Houser - which was praised by coaches and teammates all season for his speed and agility - entrenched in the backcourt, Shippensburg will ground game back a little more.
"If the same work ethic remains what will undoubtedly places to go higher," said Gustafson corridor.
But the passing game can not be ignored. With Gustafson, the receiving body of weapons is 6 feet in Clayton Stine and Tyler McSherry. Foust she wants to use, by creating mismatches to every match. Most follow the path mismatches Gustafson, of course, it is aligned in the slot or far from where better.
According to Van Scyoc may be the best route for Gustafson fade, where the quarterback and receiver can take up to Gustafson for critical shipyards. The great veteran presence output should help to remain in pressure situations, Van Scyoc complete rest when the bag collapses.
"To say that I go - running and not running the same route, he is able to come back, because he knows what to do when I'm out of pocket for me to be able to make a good shot to "Van Scyoc then deploy it.
Gustafson, who is the second of five children - his younger brother Nick is a rookie quarterbacks in Shippensburg and has two younger sisters - is very good at school. He said it takes place four classes AP this year, compared with three last year. AP Chemistry "was the first class that really challenged" last year, he said.
I do not know what you want to do, but instead focus on the present moment. His older brother, political science, was the opposite, with its pre-determined future. Gustafson first love is football, but it is one of the pillars of the basketball team. He was in the area of Lehigh University this summer, but do not know where you want to go.
"It's probably my favorite sport football, but I'm not sure what I want to do," Gustafson said.
For now, his focus on Dover and practices that precede the opening of the season.
And anyone who dares to challenge him in Clash Royale.
