coach Russ Lawson announced the addition of Derek Ressler to the
2009 roster. This Central Christian High School senior is yet
another solid piece to a very talented incoming class. “Derek has
the speed, touch, and vision needed to compete at this level,”
stated Lawson. “I am looking forward to having him bring a work
rate that will enable him to compete in our midfield and front
line.” Ressler
has gained valuable experience throughout his high school career
leading his team against some of the best soccer programs in the
state of Ohio in the Akron/Canton area which has a rich history with
the game of soccer at all levels. As a senior at Central Christian,
Ressler had a tremendous final season being named First Team
