ZachTheZip Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 So D'Orazio is not only the QB, but also the kicker, punter, and a DB for CHHS. That's impressive. I love to see players that are actual "football players", who are athletic enough to do anything the coach might ask.Also, Ritossa looks like he will become a gigantic TE who can catch the ball. He will be a player that we'll need to find a way to get him the ball on offense. Time to change the "invisible TE" offense we run now.

Blue & Gold Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 The announcers gave Akron a TON of good pub tonight.D'Orazio looked pretty good! Very good athlete, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Watcher Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Isn't Cuyahoga Heights like division X or something? I think they only have 30 guys in the school .. so he probably does the laundry too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipmeister Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Isn't Cuyahoga Heights like division X or something? I think they only have 30 guys in the school .. so he probably does the laundry too.And does so quite well thank you. He also lines the field before the games and plays trumpet in the marching band before the game and at half time. Has been relieved of singing the national anthem and no longer vends frankfurters in the stands when the the defense is on the field. There was some concern that he was not a team player when he dumped the hot dog gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Isn't Cuyahoga Heights like division X or something? I think they only have 30 guys in the school .. so he probably does the laundry too.I believe both schools are Division 5.BTW - LB Brian Wagner, arguably the Zips best defender, hails from a Division 6 school. As does The Great Captain Kangaroo (did GP1 patent "The Great"?).D'Orazio looked very impressive. I don't know if he'll end up as a QB @ UA, but he's an amazing athlete. Exciting to watch!

g-mann17 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 What I saw from D'Orazio was impressive. Not so sure about the pick in the endzone over Ritossa but...The kid seems to be quite the athlete. But someone get him a couple Galley Boys or something (probably burned like 15,000 calories during that game) playing every side of the ball, (kicker, punter, DB, QB) heck I think he was running the camera for part of the postgame talk and I saw him leading a few cheers on the sidelines too.

Z.I.P. Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 BTW - LB Brian Wagner, arguably the Zips best defender, hails from a Division 6 school. As does The Great Captain Kangaroo (did GP1 patent "The Great"?).I think Captain has already described his salad days at old McDonald High.

johnnyzip84 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 D'Orazio is being recruited as a Safety.http://www.the-daily-record.com/news/article/4705145That's good information. We could use a ball-hawking safety, ala the one we'll see in the "other blue and gold" tomorrow.Did you recognize the name of Zach's opposing coach? He should be familiar to Zip fans.

zipsfan111 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Does this mean we are bringing in 1 quarterback in this class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Does this mean we are bringing in 1 quarterback in this class?I would assume so, yes.I thought it was interesting when we had two QBs verbal after JD said that he would never do that again.

Hilltopper Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I'm watching a reply of the game right now on TWC 23. D'Orazio has 150yds rushing and 3 TDs in the first half. Cuyahoga Hgts is leading 28-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 That's better than watching the Zips on The U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eguins Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 D'Orazio looked great in the 1st half against Ursuline, as they led 28-14.... BUT Ursuline absolutely shut him down in the 2nd half as my alma mater rolled in the 2nd half to defeat Cuyahoga Heights 47-28!He is a player.
