Vokolos will be superior

Philadelphia (WPVI) – Saint Joseph's Prep is the home of an elite football program. You have just won your third state championship in a row, and every year you have the players of Division I, many of which play in the NFL.

However, there is a senior running back that has played a major role in building the championship culture, and it is the focus of the most unlikely place.

Will Vokolos worked from the newcomer football team to the last touchdown of the title winning season of the preparer this year.

When the stadium lights switch off for the season, Vokolos enter a new spotlight and play in the Productions Cape and Sword Drama Society of the Preps.

“The effort and discipline we put on the shows are similar to my attitude for football,” said Vokolos. “The concentration on the little things separates our football program from others and our theater program from others.”

Vokolos is as Dr. Frankenstein in the spring production of Young Frankenstein through the school.

“It's all to have someone who is a champion on the field and has skills as an actor,” said Tony Braithwaite, the director of Cape and Sword.

“He is a servant and really a man for others,” said the deputy football coach Tom Sudgen. “He lives the school mission and so that he is able to touch every corner of our school to overcome anywhere, it's really cool.”

Where vocolos go, others follow. His teammates not only support him on the side and in the audience, but also recruited them to enter the stage.

“Like the Pied Piper,” said Braithwaite, “he just had to say:” Come on “and they followed him. It is good for the program because the football players suddenly defy stereotypes and act on stage, and it is good for the football program because these boys make their lines memorized and show that they have a lot more skills than you only see in the field.” “

Vokolos has changed the narrative in preparation: they can do everything and break the shape.

“If someone can see and say me: 'I want to do that' or 'I know that I can do it because he does it, it would mean the world,” considered vocolos.

“It is always emotional when the children graduate and continue,” said Braithwaite. “It is particularly difficult if the student who has ended the kind of student that you would build in a laboratory if you could do the ideal student.”

“He has a good heart. He is a good soul. He is really a special person,” said Sudgen. “It will be difficult to replace it in this building, not just in our football program.
