    Gault, Kephart among additions to Classic Rosters

    Bradford Highs Rob Gault highlights six more players added to
    the 33rd annual Big 30 Don Raabe Charities Classic rosters.

    Gault was a 5-7, 190-pound guard and linebacker for the
    Owls.

    He is a member of Student Council and was a student of the
    month. He received the coachs award and was a captain of the
    football team.

    It is a great honor to play in the Big 30 Game because it is the
    best players in the area playing in a game, said Gault.

    His biggest thrill was upsetting Warren on senior night because
    they were a playoff team.

    Gault will major in communications at Pitt-Bradford. His hobbies
    are playing sports, fishing and camping. The Jacksonville Jaguars
    is his favorite team and Byron Leftwich his favorite player.

    Also joining Gault is Sam Kephart from Port Allegany High
    School. Kephart was a 5-9, 185-pound guard and linebacker for the
    Gators.

    When asked why he wanted to play in the Big 30 Game, he said, I
    enjoy playing football.

    His biggest thrill is being on the field with his friends.

    Kepharts plans are to enter the work force. His hobbies include
    playing sports, fishing and four-wheeling. The Buffalo Bills is his
    favorite team and Takeo Spikes his favorite player.

    The third Pennsy player added is Casey Rickerson of Youngsville.
    He was a 5-8, 180-pound tailback and linebacker for the Eagles.

    He received the coachs pride award for football and was
    offensive MVP. He was also on the all-star second team and received
    varsity letters for football, track and baseball.

    Rickerson wants to play in the Big 30 Game because it is an
    honor and privilege of getting a second chance on the football
    field.

    His biggest thrills were breaking long runs and helping the
    team.

    He will study safety and security at Pittsburgh Technical
    Institute. His hobbies are hunting, fishing and playing the guitar.
    His favorite team is the Pittsburgh Steelers and his favorite
    player is Jerome Bettis.

    Additions to the New York roster included Derrick Dorvit, Tyler
    Dunne and Trae Rogers.

    Dorvit, from Bolivar-Richburg Central School, was a 6-0,
    180-pound tight end and defensive end for the Wolverines.

    He was an Expressway All-Star, Livingston County All-Star, a
    football captain and was a Steuben All-Star in wrestling.

    When asked why he wanted to play in the Big 30 Game he said, It
    has always been a goal of mine to play with the best players in the
    Big 30. It is an honor.

    He says his biggest thrills are running out on the field on
    Friday night with the stands packed and playing Wolverine
    football.

    He will be a health and physical education major at Edinboro
    University.

    His hobbies are riding horses, golfing, hanging out with friends
    and lifting weights. His favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys while
    Jay Novacek is his favorite player.

    Dunne, of Ellicottville Central School, was a 5-10, 185-pound
    quarterback and safety for the Eagles.

    He is a member of the National Honor Society, a Scholar Athlete
    and ranks in the top five of his class. Football honors include
    third-team all-state and first team Class D East League. In
    basketball he was a first-team Cattaraugus County Division III
    selection.

    I want to play in the Big 30 Game because it will be great to
    play football on the same field where I played midget football and
    to see my football career come full circle, Dunne said.

    His biggest football thrills were reaching Ralph Wilson Stadium
    three years in a row, winning the sectional title once and the
    comeback win at Franklinville his junior year.

    Dunne will major in journalism at St. John Fisher or Syracuse
    University. He enjoys playing fantasy football, sports writing and
    four-wheeling. The Green Bay Packers is his favorite team and their
    quarterback Bret Favre his favorite player.

    Rogers, from Randolph Central School, was a 6-2, 190-pound
    quarterback and free safety for the Cardinals.

    His academic achievements include the National Honor Society,
    Honor Roll and Scholar Athlete. He was Offensive MVP in the New
    York State Semifinal game, a Jamestown (N.Y.) Post Journal Player
    of the Week and first-team quarterback for Class D Section 6.

    Rogers says he wants to play in the Big 30 Game simply for the
    love of the game.

    His biggest thrill was winning the Class D New York State
    Championship.

    He is considering forensics, computer science or sports medicine
    for his education. His hobbies are football, basketball and golf.
    While the Buffalo Bills is his favorite team, Peyton Manning is his
    favorite player.

    This years game will take place at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 5 at Bradford

    Pennsylvania against graduated seniors from New York.

    This weeks additions bring the total number of players accepting

    Sport and Fitness center.
