49ers PREP Selects Jake Ripp as Week 4 Player of the Week Apr 17, 2021 at 09:00 AM Copied! David Rogers/David Rogers As the delayed season of high school varsity football continues, this week's 49ers PREP High School Player of the Week presented by U.S. Bank is awarded to junior linebacker and tight end Jake Ripp for his multi-faceted performance against the Wilcox Chargers. Ripp led the Los Gatos defense with 23 tackles in the come-from-behind win on Friday night. Also the starting tight end, he made some huge catches that helped propel the Los Gatos come back. "Jake is never off the field, besides of few special teams plays. He is a great effort player," said LGHS head coach Mark Krail. "Jake was instrumental in slowing down the Wilcox inside run. He was in the middle of some big stops to help get us back in the game."
