Kpreps comment: Rupnicki was a Kpreps All-District selection at running back after rushing for more than 1,000 yards his senior season.  Despite being keyed upon in the Cobra offense, Rupnicki was a crucial component in the turnaround of Jackson Heights’ football.  The Cobras went 13-6 over the past two seasons.
