The former Harrisburg High standouts are expected to play big roles for the Chippewas in today's game against the Nittany Lions.
Donte Kent and Ronald Kent Jr. grew up in a house with two other brothers, and when you start doing that math — four athletic boys, one house — you expect the rough and tumble stories to follow.
But this isn’t just a football story. It’s a family story and community story, too. It is a story of success — win, lose or draw — come Saturday. “They both have been very supportive and not just great parents but great leaders, too,” he said. “They’re so important to me and Donte because we know they have our backs no matter the circumstance and they guide us in the right direction.”“It takes a village sometimes,” Kent Sr. said. “And I think the people around them, the coaches and the community played a big role … some of their youth coaches are still involved in their lives today.
“Everywhere I go, the barbershop … just everywhere, people say they have been waiting on this game, and they are trying to get there,” Ronald Sr. said. Kent Sr. said the family would spend time trying to juggle between trips to Ronald Jr.’s games or Donte’s games and figuring out how to watch them all in years past. Things are much simpler now.
Ronald Sr. remembered earlier this week the time he took Donte to a Penn State game for a recruiting visit. Going back in that stadium to watch both sons play, he said, is a bit “surreal.”“I know Donte has had this one circled on the calendar a long time,” he said. “I know he wants to win this game.”
