Univest’s SuburbanOneSports.com Featured Female Athlete (Week of Nov. 14, 2012)
Rachel Stone was a vocal presence in the net for her soccer team. The senior keeper was a captain and undisputed leader of a Wissahickon soccer team that captured the SOL American Conference crown. “She’s always trying to rally the girls,” coach Shannon Franke said. “She’s able to capture excitement and move our team forward.” A first team all-league selection, Stone posted eight shutouts and had 99 saves in 17 games, helping lead the Trojans to a conference crown and a district berth. “I’ve been coaching 14 years, and I really believe she has great natural ability as a keeper,” Franke said. “It’s amazing to watch her form and some of the dives she makes.” The senior captain has been an integral part of the growth of the Wissahickon girls’ soccer program.
Stone also is a captain and point guard for the Trojans’ basketball team. She is co-editor-in-chief of the school newspaper and is sports editor of the yearbook. Stone is a member of the National Honor Society and a member of the French National Honor Society. She is heavily involved in her church’s youth group and goes on mission trips every summer. She is looking forward to a trip to Puerto Rico after graduation.
Stone is uncertain if she’ll play soccer at the collegiate level, although she would like to. Her main focus is academics. Among the schools she’s interested in are Washington and Lee University and Amherst. She is considering majoring in English.

Univest’s SuburbanOneSports.com Featured Male Athlete (Week of Nov. 14, 2012)
Adam Remick might not do it all, but the Central Bucks South senior sure comes mighty close. A three-year starter and co-captain for the SOL Continental Conference champion Titans’ soccer team, Remick also excels in the classroom. The owner of a 4.23 GPA, he is enrolled in three AP classes and is a member of the National Honor Society. Remick is serving as treasurer of CB South’s student council for the fourth consecutive year, and he also happens to be gifted musically. A member of both the school’s select chamber choir and men’s ensemble, Remick sang the National Anthem at several South home football games. For good measure, he is the leader of Titan Terror, a CB South fan group, and he singlehandedly led the pep rally prior to the school’s annual homecoming game.
When it came time for the student council to promote the Bucks County Seat Belt Initiative, Remick and three of his friends created a rap video called ‘Belt City,’ a spinoff of Tyga’s ‘Rack City.’ So popular was the video that it not only is approaching four thousand views on YouTube, it also earned Remick and his three fellow members of the Safety Allstarz an award from the Transportation Management Association during a recent banquet at Parx Casino.
On the soccer field, Remick played an integral role in the Titans’ success this fall. “The only time he came off the field was because of an injury, and that didn’t keep him down for long,” coach Don Brady said. “He’s a really strong kid, and he defends well. He has emerged as a formidable outside left back. He could tackle, and he knew how to get forward.” In addition, Remick was a respected leader. “He has this quality – it’s kind of hard to describe,” Brady said. “He’s not very outspoken, but kids really look up to him.”
Remick, who plans to major in engineering, has already been accepted at Penn State, and he is completing his application for PSU’s Schreyer Honors College. He is uncertain whether he will play collegiate soccer.
