Parkland grad Laub named football captain at Richmond

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER The University of Richmond football team, under first-year head coach Danny Rocco, has named Parkland grad and redshirt senior John Laub as one of its captains for the 2012 season. Laub, a quarterback who led the Trojans to a 15-1 season and a PIAA 4A runner-up finish in 2007, played in eight games last season. He completed 8 of 17 passes for 116 yards for the Spiders, who struggled through a 3-8 season, including eight straight losses to close the year. In the spring game in mid-April, Laub completed 8 of 19 passes for 58 yards, but was intercepted twice. Laub red-shirted as a freshman in 2008. John's brother, Matt, was a standout defensively at Parkland last season after missing his junior season with an injury. He had 94 tackles (68 solo), 31 quarterback pressures, six pass breakups, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. He was a Lehigh Valley Conference first-team selection at linebacker and tight end. Matt Laub is an incoming freshman at Lehigh.
