re you not entertained?

Had Russell Crowes
character in Gladiator asked that question in Lancaster-Lebanon League football
arenas last fall, the answer would
have been a resounding yes.
And why not?
Each of the three sections went
down to the regular seasons final
weekend, with eventual champions Wilson, Lampeter-Strasburg
and Northern Lebanon each
claiming their titles by a mere
game.
Longtime head man Doug
Dahms and his Bulldogs continued their dominance of Section
One, but not without a challenge
from Manheim Township. Wilson went 7-0 in section play, and
in effect won its seventh straight
title on Oct. 17 in West Lawn by
dealing the Blue Streaks their
lone L-L loss, 28-14.
What can we say about Section
Two except that it was historically
good, arguably the most competitive race in league history dating
back to the L-Ls 1972 inception.
Five of the sections eight teams
were still in the hunt heading into
the final games. In the end, John
MARTY HEISEY | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
Under coach Mark Evans, Manheim

Township, along with Solanco and
Northern Lebanon, have established
themselves as legitimate title contenders.
Manion guided Lampeter-Strasburg (6-1) to its third title in five

years, the Pioneers finishing one
game ahead of Garden Spot and
Manheim Central.
In Section Three, fifth-year
boss Roy Wall took Northern
Lebanon to its first title since
1991, edging Lebanon County
neighbor Annville-Cleona by one
game and defending champion
Donegal by two games.
Wilson won the District Three
Class AAAA title and advanced

to the state semifinals; Cocalico
reached the District Three Class
AAA championship game.
And when the dust finally settled
at the end of the long campaign,
two of the leagues two longesttenured head coaches Manheim Centrals Mike Williams and
Annville-Cleonas Terry Lehman
stepped down after a combined
62 years on the job.
So what to expect in 2015?
More of the same and, it says
here, perhaps an even better season.
For starters theres the dramatic
return of L-S QB Collin Bear
Shank from a brain tumor. His
courage, his faith, his determination have inspired his teammates,
his coaches and his opponents.
Its a testament to his desire,
Garden Spot coach Matt Zamperini said. I have a lot of respect
for his love of the game. Not a lot
of kids could have come back like
he has.
Comebacks could be at a premium in the league this season.
L-L coaches in each of the three
sections have likened their league
schedules to a gauntlet.

Solanco
and
Northern Lebanon have established themselves as legit-

OLD faces, NEW roles

A quintet of new head coaches is quite familiar with the L-Ls brand of football
ED GRUVER
EGRUVER@LNPNEWS.COM
heyre different yet similar.

And like Frankie said, theyre
gonna do it their way.
What John Brubaker of Penn
Manor, Dave Hahn of Manheim
Central, Elizabethtowns Bill McDonald, Columbias Anthony Sottasante and AnnvilleCleonas Matt Gingrich have in common is
that theyre the newest head football coaches
in the L-L.
Each has been a player and then an assistant, learning what it takes to be a head coach
in part from the man in charge.
The main difference is a little more time,
said Hahn. As assistants were used to the
grind. As a head coach, its a little bit more
(time consuming).
Some of the many things he learned from
Hall of Fame coach Mike Williams, Hahn
said, are organization, dedication, learning
your craft; how to deal with kids, with adults;
things to do, things not to do
Mike, he stated, was a big influence.
Gingrich, too, has benefited from positive
influences.
Ive been lucky, said Gingrich, who played
and coached for longtime A-C boss Terry
Lehman, played for Millersville University
legend Gene Carpenter and coached alongside his brother, Dave Gingrich, at Cocalico.
Gingrich has learned from each, and also
credited former Cedar Crest coach Gene
Spike Fuhrman for part of his philosophy.
Spike always said, Get your best athletes
in space, and thats what were doing.
Each new head coach comes in with different strategies, different coaching philosophies. Brubaker, defensive coordinator
of Manheim Centrals title teams and state
champions in 2003, favors 4-4 and 4-3 fronts.
McDonald, Lancaster Catholics offensive
coordinator for the Crusaders state titles in
2009 and 2011, when they featured two of
Pennsylvanias best players in QB Kyle Smith
and RB Roman Clay, employs a multiple attack that stresses a run-pass balance.
What each coach has in common is that
theyve spent the months since their hiring
putting together coaching staffs.
Hahn has the most unique situation; the
venerable Williams is staying on to assist in

School.

coaching the quarterbacks, defensive backs

and special teams. Hahn said two veteran assistants from Centrals high-gloss staff former Hempfield head man Tom Getz and exLancaster Catholic coach Joe Mack have
stepped down. Both, he added, may still contribute in other ways.
Hahn has added another former head coach
in Tom Waranavage from Cedar Crest. Brubaker, too, has landed a respected former
head man in Mike Burke Sr., who guided Columbia.
McDonald may have had the most turnover on his staff; former L-L All-Star QB and
wide receivers/defensive backs coach Andy
Breault is the lone returnee from Mike Cottles coaches.
McDonald has brought in several assistants who share his Lancaster Catholic background. TJ Rudy, former defensive coordinator for the Crusaders, now occupies the same

Williams are) organization, dedication,

Dave Hahn, Manheim Central head coach
Coaches
Continued from 4
post for E-town. Mike McDonald and Luke

McDonald, former linemen at Catholic, have
also been assisting and Mike Kyne, the last
head coach at Lebanon Catholic before its program was disbanded, is on staff as well.
Its a mix of experience and youth, Bill McDonald said of his coaching staff.
One other thing the new coaches have in
common is that their roots run deep in the
L-L. Sottasante played at Donegal for ground
game guru Gayne Deshler. Not surprising,
then, that Sottasante, who has remained familiar with Section Three play, said his coaching philosophy is to run the ball and stop the
run.
McDonald played for Tony DiPaolo at Catholic; Brubaker starred at running back for Manheim Central, was named to the Big 33 team
and, like Matt Gingrich, played for Carpenter
at Millersville.
One more shared similarity is that each man
will try to stay on top of the ever-evolving
schemes that trickle down to high school football from the college game and the NFL. Its not
uncommon to see a Bear defense one week, a
no-huddle offense the next.
Its a neat group of coaches, Brubaker said
of his L-L brethren. Everyone works to stay on
top of the trends. There are a lot of varied looks,
without a doubt.
The old 5-2 (defense) from the 1980s, he
stated, isnt going to cut it.

McCaskeys Kobe Gantz gets pushed out of bounds by Readings Dontae Owens in a game last season. Gantz,
who finished with 29 catches and 515 yards in 2014, will be a receiver for the Red Tornado this year.
Monzon hopes lesson on closing games strong sticks with McCaskey

KEVIN FREEMAN
KFREEMAN@LNPNEWS.COM
Out of the district playoff

picture and playing in the regular-season finale, McCaskey
found itself down by 20 points
with under eight minutes to
play against Conestoga Valley
last season.
It would have been easy for
both teams to figure the game

over at that point.
The Red Tornado, prodded
by the coaching staff to finish
the game, took that directive to
heart. The defense dug in and
the offense scored three TDs
the last one on LaDetrius Sibleys 4-yard pass to Randolph
Speller to tie the game. With

20 seconds to play, Max Chalfont kicked the game-winning
PAT for the 42-41 victory.
That ability to come back,
to finish the game, has stayed
with the Red Tornado through
the offseason.
McCASKEY, page 7
LANCASTER, PA | LNP
McCaskey
Continued from 6
Early last season, wed have spurts

of playing well and then wed check out
mentally, said McCaskey coach Rob
Monzon. (Opponents) would jump all
over us. Then wed start playing again.
So, for that last game, for them to pull
it together and finish strong and overcome the dismal first half (of that game)
we had, it gives us motivation.
About the offense: Sibley, engineer
of that comeback against CV, was the
Tornados leading rusher from the
quarterback position. Hell be replaced by
senior John Burnside.
Nick Perez is the fullback in McCaskeys
triple-option attack. Carlos Lugo, who
anchored McCaskeys 400 relay team, will
test the edge on defense with his speed
and power at tailback.
Speller (21 catches, 260 yards) moves
from running back to slot receiver.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2015

Also at receiver will be Kobe Gantz (29
catches, 515 yards), who, with basketball
scholarships on the table, could have
opted out of football.
He wants to play out his senior year with
the guys he came up with, Monzon said.
Spellers brother, Isiah, will also be in the
receiver rotation.
I think our offense will give defenses a lot
to think about, Randolph Speller said.
On the offensive line, Skylar Davis returns
at center along with Jose Acosta at right
guard. Ohwop Wilson is at right tackle
with Alex Rivera the leading candidate at
left guard.
Nate Luvice, who moved to Coatesville
after his freshman year at McCaskey,
has returned to the Tornado. He was the
starting center for Coatesville, which was
13-1 last season.
The good feeling produced by the win
over CV was tempered when last season
was viewed by McCaskeys linemen. In too
many instances, they were pushed around.
That led to an off-season weight room
commitment.
We vowed that its not going to happen
this year, Acosta said.

About the defense: Jordae Grove,

Deandre Bacon, Wilson, Acosta and
Luvice will be in the defensive line
rotation.
The linebackers will be Greg Nunez,
Will Brown, Julian Sitts, Perez (95 total
tackles) and Davis.
The Red Tornado will have Luis Abreu, a
transfer from Hempfield, in the secondary,
as well as RJ Godwin and Isiah Speller.
Intangibles: The Red Tornado need to the
see the fruits of their weight room labors.
Mixing increased toughness with speed
could turn that 4-6 record into a winning
season.

playing again. So, for that
last game, for them to pull

but they can be like rolling the dice.

Final word: Sibley (798 rushing yards,

A double-overtime loss to Cumberland Valley ended Hempfields

2013 football campaign in the District Three Class AAAA quarterfinals. A triple-overtime loss to Central Dauphin East knocked out the
Knights in the same round in 2014.
How do the players and coaches
plan on changing the ending in
2015?
Our slogan for the year, said
fifth-year head coach Ron Zeiber,
is just one word. Its just finish.
And weve been stressing that at
every practice, every conditioning
drill and everything else. Weve got
to finish. And, certainly, its in our
guys heads, and they know what
were talking about.
The Black Knights quest to advance past the district quarterfinals
begins when they host defending
Section Two champion LampeterStrasburg at 7 p.m. Sept. 4.
About the offense: After averaging
337.8 yards and 26.4 points per game
in 2014, the Black Knights spread
offense returns with familiar faces,
including those of senior quarterback
Sam Kramer (85-160, 1,212 yards,
Hempfields Sam Kramer eyes the end zone against Lampeter-Strasburg. Having gone
85-160 for 1,212 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2014, Kramer returns for his senior season at
quarterback.
10 touchdowns, seven INTs) and senior

all-purpose yards leader Will Blair (83
rushes, 33 receptions, 1,416 yards, 10
touchdowns).
Wills just everything, Zeiber said.
Everywhere. Hes been that way for a
couple years for us.
Without the graduated Devin Washington

backfield leans on Kramer (1,005 rushing

yards in 2014) and Blair (543) with a

handful of other returning rushers.
About the defense: Among Hempfields
leaders stands 6-3, 211-pound senior
lineman Nate Trimble, the owner of what
Zeiber calls a nasty attitude on the field.
Everybodys got to play with that
attitude, Zeiber said. We call it that
nasty switch. When they get on the field,

The whole concept
of our defense is to
get guys with speed
in the most positions
that we can.
Ron Zeiber, Hempfield head coach
Knights want to finish, Zeiber

said, they need to play with a
competitive edge throughout the
season.
When we get to that level, he
said, when we get to the playoffs,
well be ready for that. Well have
been competitors all year long.
Final word: Its everything, Blair
said of the way his season has
ended for two consecutive years.
Its a lot of motivation. I know its
burning in the back of all of our
heads, and were thinking of that
when were preparing. Its a lot
of motivation for improving upon
what weve done.
GOOD LUCK

youve got to flip that switch and

play that way. Then you can turn it
off when you leave the field and be
the nicest guy in the world.
Blair, a linebacker, recorded 55
tackles and forced four fumbles to
complement 76 tackles by thenjunior Wyatt Miller. The Knights
secondary includes seniors Darnell
Lathon (two interceptions in 2014).
The whole concept of our
defense, Zeiber said, is to get
guys with speed in the most
positions that we can. We dont
always get the bruisers that every
coach would like, but if we can get
guys out there with some speed
and some speed off the edge and
some outside linebackers who can
just run, then we think, in that type
of defense, that its a pretty big
advantage.

generation of successful field bosses.
This season sees five more new head

has taken over at Penn Manor, which
was built into a Section One contender by Todd Mealy. Brubaker has added

Theres no I in team or
in Cedar Crest and thats
how the Falcons are approaching their second season under
head coach Rob Wildasin.
We have a great group of
guys, Wildasin said. I think
were pretty solid across the
board and thats the way were
going to have to play and win,
too as kind of a collective
team effort and I think we
can have an improved season.
Theres room to improve after last years 3-7 campaign
in which Cedar Crest won just
two of its last nine games and
arguably the Falcons biggest
name, returning first-team
wide receiver and defensive
back Evan Horn, knows the
only way up is as a team.
Everyone sees me, but really
its 10 other guys I wouldnt
be able to do it without, said
Horn.

About the offense: Horn finished

second in the Lancaster-Lebanon
League at wide receiver last
season with 40 receptions for 523
yards and five touchdowns, but
now it will be senior Stevie Roda
throwing him the ball.
Roda saw some game action last
year in place of the injured Josh
Bucher (1,144 yards and 11 TDs)
and threw for 286 yards and a
touchdown, playing time Wildasin
believes will prove invaluable.
He was able to experience it and
I think that will definitely help
him this year, said Wildasin. Its
not like hes completely green
hes not taking his first snap as a
starting quarterback in our first
ANDY BLACKBURN | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
Cedar Crests Stevie Roda, who saw some game action last year in place
of injured QB Josh Bucher, runs around Warwicks Mason Eshleman.
This year, Rodas experience should prove valuable as he steps into the
starters role.
game, hes done it before and I

think hell do a great job.
The Falcons overall offense
finished second-to-last in the
section last year, but Roda should
benefit from playing behind a
veteran offensive line.
Our offensive line is a lot more
experienced this year with
everybody having played some

kind of varsity time last year, said
two-way lineman Alex Flocken.
Four out of the five started 10
out of 10 games at one spot or
another.
Its a totally different feel up
front, Wildasin agreed.

With only five returning lettermen and two

returning starters, some see potential problems
for Penn Manors football team in highly competitive L-L Section One.
New boss John Brubaker and his coaching
staff, however, see something else.
Critics would say this (lack of experience) is
not a recipe for success, Brubaker said. But our
coaching staff believes we have an uncommon
group of players and believes this team will be
successful.
Brubaker has known nothing but success in
his many years as defensive coordinator at Manheim Central. Long regarded as one of the top
defensive minds not only in District Three but
in the state, Brubaker brings his can-do attitude
to a Comets program that knew its fair share of
success under previous coach Todd Mealy.
We need varsity playing experience and game
situations to grow as a team, Brubaker said.
But make no mistake, we will approach each
game as one we will win.
About the offense: Brubaker said junior Grant Gale is
moving from receiver to quarterback to replace the
graduated Tanner Erisman. Brubaker believes Gale
has shown the skill and leadership necessary to be
effective in his new role as leader of the offense.
Gale will be under the direct supervision of offensive
coordinator Mike Burke, formerly the head coach at
Columbia.
Seniors Carter Kinser and Jamal McCaskell return
to the backfield. Senior Andrew Brown is the
lone returning offensive lineman owning varsity
experience.
Though subject to change, at time of writing
potential starters on offense include center Dan
Mahoney, Brown and Justice Eshleman at guard and
Tyler Kiebler and either Mark Yoder or Kyle Groff at
tackle.
Blane Richardson and Cavan Zechman are projected
starters at wideout, with Daniel Wolf and Dante
Williams getting playing time as well.
About the defense: Brubaker will maintain his DC
duties and he likes what he sees in Kinser, whom he
said has the instincts to be a great linebacker.
KELSIE NETZER | JOHN CURLEY CENTER
Junior Grant Gale, shown scoring a touchdown in

Ireland against Cedar Cliff last season, is moving from
receiver to quarterback in 2015 to replace the graduated Tanner Erisman.
Joe Santiago and Dante Jones have shown promise

in the 4-4 and 4-3 defensive fronts Brubaker favors.
Potential starters on defense are Jones and Colton
Noel at end, with Santiago and Brown at tackle.
Groff and Kinser are inside linebackers, while
McCaskell and RJ Swisher man the flanks. Ben
Wright and Jonah Barley are also seeing time at
outside backer.
Richardson and Zechman are on the corners; Gale
and Wolf are the safeties.
Special teams starters look to be Liam Hart (kicker);
Alex Schievert (punter); Richardson, Kinser and
McCaskell (kick returners); and Richardson and Gale
(punt returners).

Section Two he was a starting

running back at Central and was
named to the Pennsylvania Big 33
team but he is familiar with Section
One as well. Through the years the
Barons have played Section One
squads, lining up against Wilson,
Warwick, Hempfield and Cedar Crest,
and scrimmaging Penn Manor in the
preseason.
From his experience, Brubaker believes
the biggest difference between Section
One and Two may be the size of the
schools.
Section One teams, he said, may
have more depth because theyre bigger
schools.
We need varsity playing

experience and game situations to grow as a team. But
make no mistake, we will
approach each game as one
we will win.
John Brubaker, Penn Manor head coach
Key to the season: How quickly the

younger Comets acclimate themselves
to varsity play will be vital to the teams
success.

Hes a really great coach. Were glad to

Change is evident on the Manheim Township

roster heading into the 2015 campaign.
On offense, Township lost three starting linemen, its top two rushers, its bruising fullback
and two of last years top three ball-hawking
wideouts to graduation. On defense, the Blue
Streaks must replace two linemen, two linebackers and just about their entire defensive
secondary.
About the offense: Fortunately for Manheim

NEW LOCATION
Township, third-year signal-caller Erik Benjamin

returns after leading the Streaks to a second-place
finish in L-L Section One, an appearance in the
district quarterfinals and an 8-4 overall mark last
season. The 6-foot, 215-pound Benjamin passed for
2,108 yards a year ago, completing 148 of 232 (63.8
percent) for 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Unfortunately for Benjamin, some of the senior QBs
top targets, Fisayo Ouleye and Isaac Vasquez, are
gone. Plus, the teams top returning wideout, senior
John Stutz (29 catches, 534 receiving yards, seven
TDs last season), might miss some time at the start
of the season as he continues to recover from a
dislocated right elbow suffered at an offseason

camp.
So its up to newcomers Riley MacDonald,
Mike Sharpe, Alex Wade, Rece Bender,
Dillon OConnor and Alex Kepler, among
others, to battle it out at wideout in the
Streaks spread/pro set offense.
Also keep an eye on 6-foot-4, 250-pound
sophomore tight end/offensive guard
Drake Puffenbarger being a bit of a
nuisance for opposing defenders.
Theres definitely some things we need
to work on, senior lineman Tanner Evans
said. We need to get everyone on the
same page working on all cylinders and
stuff. Were still filling roles, finding out
who is gonna play where.
Evans (6-5, 245) will anchor the o-line
alongside returning starters A.J. McCloud
(6-3, 265) and Tim OHara (6-0, 225).
It remains to be seen who will lead
the ground game for the Blue Streaks,
but in the final weeks of preseason
camp, fourth-year head coach Mark
Evans said he likes senior Kade
Kubicki at tailback and senior Nate
Seprinski at fullback. Also keep tabs
on senior Matt Van Gorden seeing
some carries.
About the defense: Tanner Evans (76
tackles, two sacks last season) will also
anchor the Streaks d-line alongside

That leaves seven remaining spots up for
grabs on the Manheim Township defense.
Despite all the holes needed to be filled,
Coach Evans has confidence in this bunch.
But it might take some time for the Blue
Streaks to get rolling. Of course, Evans
would like to see that happen sooner
rather later.

Hopes were high in Lititz at

the dawn of the 2014 football
season as Warwick looked to
improve on the previous years
3-7 record.
But, with a defense that finished in the bottom third of
the league statistically, and an
offense that finished 21st overall out of 23 teams those
hopes were dashed as the Warriors came home 2-8, 1-6 in the
L-Ls Section One.
A year older, a year wiser, the
cogs of that offense are in place
once more.
Quarterback Colin Gibble (69
for 151 for 1,054 yards, 6 TDs/13
INTs), went down late in the
season with an injury, but returns none the worse for wear,
along with his backups Tyler
Trimarchi (19-32, 173, 1 TD)
and Taylor Lentz (22-52, 159).
Gibble also ran 76 times for
286 yards and three scores and
is joined by returning backs
Ryan Deibler (74-298, 4 TDs)
and Isaac Rissinger (17-72).
After missing all of 13 with an
injury, tight end Justin Smith
caught four balls for 35 yards,
while wideout Keegan Flahive,
the Warriors top returning receiver, finished with 14 catches
for 188 yards.
About the offense: The Warriors
will run a one-back spread,
Most of it will be (shot)gun,
three wideouts, a tight end and a
running back, says Locker.
Our two leading rushers return.
Our quarterback is back for a
second full year. We return three
offensive linemen who started
every game last year, plus a
couple other linemen, and our
Ryan Deibler, who had 298 yards on 74 carries and four touchdowns last
season, returns at running back for Warwick.
starting tight end.

If were a better football team
this year its because of some
changes weve made in the last
two years that have started to pay

dividends.

About the defense: The Falcons defense,

which finished in the middle of the section
last year, will see a lot of new faces in new
spots this season.
Gone are players like honorable mention
defensive back Dominic Garloff and
second-team Section One linebacker
Damon Edwards, whose role may now fall
to Horn.
Evan will be bouncing around between
strong safety and linebacker, said
Wildasin. Hell fill those shoes or at least
that position literally sometimes, and
at times hell bounce back to the safety
spots.
Intangibles: Practice makes perfect,
and the Falcons are already noticing
a difference in their second year in
Wildasins system.

Last year we had a new coaching

staff and everything was kind of new
to us and this year they know what
to expect from us and we know what
to expect from them so it kind of just
clicks everything, said Horn. Thats
something that looks real positive for
us this year.
Key to the season: Our offensive
line, Wildasin said without hesitation
Good Luck WARRIORS!

Proudly Employing Warwick Alumni
Warwick
when asked for the teams biggest

strength. (The key is to) stay healthy
and follow the lead of the offensive
line I think that theyre the bus
drivers.
Final word: I think motivated, Horn
said of the teams mentality heading
into the season. I think were all
really sick of losing and we want to
win.
way too many points (293, 16th in the league)

and yards (350 per game, 17th overall) last year,
Locker says.
That said, the Warriors base 4-3 returns with
a 4-6 goal line look and, in certain situations/
against certain opponents, Warwick will play
some stack.
Smith (98 tackles, 2 sacks) and Deibler (39
tackles) return at linebacker with Flahive (30
tackles, 1 INT) in the defensive backfield.
Intangibles: The Warriors pre-season roster is
61 strong. Thats more depth than weve had in
years, says Locker.
We have some sophomores who are making
serious progress. We have competition, he
continues.
You talk about things that are better this time
around, we have people legitimately fighting for
jobs right now. And, when you are being pushed,
it makes you better.
Key to the season: If were successful this
season, forecasts Locker, it will be because we
run, and we throw when we want to, not when we
have to.
Final word: Two and eights not acceptable,
Locker says. Its not a motto were allowed to use,
but Shut Up and Hit Someone is kind of where
were at right now. We just want to get (practice)
started. We just want to get to it and figure out
where we are.

DIANA PUGLIESE
For Conestoga Valley, the

2014 season showed a lot of
promise, even if it may not
have translated to a lot of wins.
In the Buckskins first season
in Section One, as well as their
first year playing in the Wing-T
offense and the 3-3-5 defense,
they finished third overall in
both statistical categories.
Given that extra year of experience, head coach Mark Pieters is excited for what 2015
could hold for his squad.
We went to an air raid offense and usually the second
year in that you can get to a
whole new level, and Im seeing it already, said Pieters.
Our execution, our knowledge
of the scheme I think were
just leaps and bounds ahead of
where we were last year at this
point.
About the offense: As a
sophomore, Grant Stoltzfus threw
for 1,996 yards the best in
Section One and both Pieters
and the signal caller think he
can be even better in his junior
campaign.
I think I got better at reading
the coverages and knowing my
progressions a lot better than last
year, so I think thatll help, said
Stoltzfus.
Hes just smooth in running the
show, added Pieters. We let him

call some plays on his own now.

He knows the system, he feels
comfortable in the system and
I think he is going to have a big
year for us.
With Joel Lopez and his 780
yards and 11 touchdowns gone
to graduation, the Buckskins will
turn to junior Connor Brinton at
running back.
Pieters notes the speedster
makes great cuts on the inside
zone, and hes not the only one
taking notice.
Hell definitely be able to do
what Joel did, two-way lineman
Kole Martin said of Brinton.
Hes more of a speed back as
compared to, Joel is more of a
power back. Connor will definitely
be able to carry the load for us.
About the defense: Martin a

second team all-star last year
will be back to lead the line, but
the highlight for the defense so
far has been speed.
Only one starting linebacker
returns, but Pieters is confident
that track sprinter Andy Miller
will make a difference and could
really run some players down.
Brinton will also slot in a strong
safety, while Tyler Humphreville
will start at corner.
Daulton Martin also returns from
two years ago, when he was
named first team All-Section at
free safety in Section Two.
Intangibles: Our wide receivers,
I think thatll be our biggest
surprise, said Stoltzfus.

MIKE GROSS
SPORTS COLUMNIST
Lets start with raw

numbers. Wilson began
preseason camp with a roster
of more than 80 players. McCaskey and Cedar Crest had
75. Warwick, Manheim Town-
ship and Lampeter-Strasburg

all had 60 or more.
Which is to say, high school
football remains popular
round these parts, not only
with fans but, evidently, with
teenage boys and (crucially)
their parents.
Still, in an age of concussion awareness, when
the essential safety of football
is questioned more than ever,
CV
some L-L coaches say they

must sell their sport as never
before.
Its tough to convince
Mom, said L-S coach John
Manion, who acknowledged
that the problem is mostly
at the youth level for now.
A lot of parents have a lot of
concerns.
If youre looking for a violent
sport, look at boys lacrosse,
said Warwick coach Bob
Key to the season: I think our defense

was pretty good last year, but I think our
offense is going to be what carries us
through this year, said Martin.
Continued from 18
Javon Marrero raked in 554 yards and

three touchdowns to lead the section as
a junior and Stoltzfus thinks the wideouts
could prove even more troubling this year.
I think were more athletic than last year,
he said. The wide receivers are a lot taller
and I think theyll be pretty good once
they get the ball in their hands.
Final word: I think having gone through

a campaign in Section One, were going to
be a lot more comfortable with the teams
that we have to play, said Pieters. They
put their pants on just like everybody in
Section Two and I think just the comfort
level of the schedule and the expectations
will enable us to play at a higher level.
Go Buckskins!
Good Luck Buckskins!

Locker. Football gets (a bad

rep) because of exposure; look
at the amount of football on TV
compared to any other sport.
The PIAA is considering going to a
six-class structure for the

of coaches in favor of six

classes, which would put
the schools-per-championship ratio closer to that
of most other states.
The six-class setup would
also shorten the season if, as
expected, it includes starting the season a week earlier,
perhaps by eliminating one
scrimmage. Everybody seems
to favor that.

Barons seem to be taking big changes in stride

ED GRUVER
EGRUVER@LNPNEWS.COM
For the past two decades

Manheims Centrals football
program stood astride District
Three Class AAA like a colossus.
The Barons won 16 district
championships, including an
astonishing 10 straight.
Over the past half-decade,
though, a new behemoth has
bestrode Triple-A. Bishop
McDevitt has won five straight

titles and is halfway to tying a
mark once thought unassailable Centrals 10 consecutive crowns. The past two years
have seen the Crusaders beat
the Barons in the postseason.
Now, for the first time in 35
years, the task of taking Central
to the top falls to a new man.
Longtime offensive line coach
Dave Hahn has succeeded Hall
of Fame head coach Mike Wil-
liams, the latter remaining on

staff as an assistant.
To handle the defense Hahn
has hired former Cedar Crest
head coach Tom Waranavage.
In other moves regarding the
coaching staff, assistants Joe
Mack and Tom Getz, former
head coaches at Lancaster
Catholic and Hempfield, respectively, have stepped down.
Change, then, is in the air at

Central, and how this all

shakes out will begin to be realized Sept. 4, when the Hahn
Era kicks off against Warwick. Week Four is when the
vaunted Section Two schedule
starts.
Section Two is a gauntlet, said Hahn. There are no
weeks off. You have to be prepared for a long seven-week
stretch.
About the offense: At time of
writing there were several starting
positions up for grabs, but heres
an early glance at what Centrals
attack could look like:
Doug Heller or Garret Fittery will
start at right tackle, and Fittery
or Wes Geib at right guard. Adam
Kline looks to be the linchpin at
the center position, with Elliot
Martin at left guard and DaShaun
Neville at left tackle. As a group
they average in the 220-pound
range, apart from Neville, who is
6-3, 270.
Craig McKee, Brock Fittery or
Tyler Lutz are in the mix at
halfback, while game-breaker

Damon Camacho and Dylan
Nelson both small, speedy
types see time at tailback.
Junior Kody Kegarise looks to
take over at quarterback and has
a deep stable of wide receivers
to throw to Austin Geib, Gavin
Guyer, Gunnar Royer, Mitchell
Ruth and Justin Lundgren. Sam
Martin looks to start at tight end.
About the defense: Again,
position battles were still
underway at time of writing,
but Hahn listed Sam Martin as a
starter at one end slot with Royer
or Vanden Grube at the other
end position.
Martin or Colin Erb will get the
nod at one tackle spot, while
Grube or Wes Geib III handle the
starting duties at the other slot.
The linebacker corps consists
of Nick Brown replacing the
graduated Justin Moreno as
the man in the middle, flanked
by McKee and outside backers
Kevin Starner and Harrison Myer.
Drew Eshleman and Lowen
Hanselman handle the corners
while Guyer patrols the
secondary from his safety
GO BARONS!
position.
Western Michigan recruit Derek
Adams returns as the kicker/
punter and one of the best in
the state. Nelson, Camacho and
Lundgren are return specialists.
Intangibles: Coaching changes
at the top usually signal some
kind of upheaval, as the two
occurrences go hand-in-hand.
But the changes at Central seem
to be as seamless as possible.
As coaching colleagues we
can make it work, Hahn said of
Williams continued presence.
Theres no power struggle at all.
Key to the season: As with every
team in ultra-competitive Section
Two, how the Barons handle
injuries and the intense grind of
playoff-like games every week
for seven straight weeks will be
crucial.
Final words: McKee on the
preseason: Everything is going
pretty good so far. Everybody is
putting the time and work in.
Camacho on Section Two:
I think its going to be even
tougher this year.
Guyer on the return of L-S QB
Bear Shank from cancer: Its
great that hes come back. Its
definitely great to be playing
against him again.

15 things
The ideal scenario for many

coaches, however, is a six-class
setup with two classes for private
schools and four for publics.
If you can recruit kids, its not an
even playing field, Ephratas Scott
Shelley said bluntly.
Were playing against schools that
bring in kids from three states, said
Wilsons Doug Dahms. They have
(separate public/private postseasons)
in something like 38 states.
Cocalico coach Dave Gingrich
shrugged and said, Even with six,
were still in the same class as (AAA
private-school monster Bishop)
McDevitt.

4 could be the one everyones rooting for L-S QB Collin Bear Shank.
Shank was first-team All-Section
Two last year as a QB and linebacker,
and the section offensive back of the
year.
But it wasnt so long ago April of
this year that Shank was contemplating things teenagers shouldnt
have to, in the wake of news that he
would require surgery to remove a
mass next to his brain.
The mass was benign, the surgery
was successful, and Shank was working out and playing 7-on-7 with his
teammates this summer. Still, he
wasnt cleared for full-contact football
until last month, a few days before
preseason camp began.
The great thing about it, L-S coach
John Manion said, is that three
One reform that is happening: A

school with a co-op sports agreement with another school (such as
McCaskeys with Lancaster Country
Day for football) may count only 10
percent of the smaller schools enrollment for classification purposes. The
same applies to the total of homeschooled students in a district.
A school with, for example, 10 homeschoolers and a co-op agreement with
a school with 100 males will count
only 10 percent of those 110 kids, or
11, toward their PIAA enrollment for
football.

Elizabethtown, one of the

smaller Class AAAA schools in
the area, has a group of home-schoolers and a co-op with Mount Calvary
Christian.
Bill McDonald, the new E-town
coach, said at media day he believes
the 10 percent rule would drop the
Bears to Class AAA. Which may be
why McDonald is one of the few L-L
coaches who opposes a six-class setup.
McDonald is one of five new

coaches in the L-L. He was the
offensive coordinator of two statechampionship teams at Lancaster
Catholic, but was completely out of
coaching last year. He returns to run
a program that didnt win a game last
year.
During the interview process the
superintendent, principal and AD
were involved it became clear that
they understood that winning isnt a
bad word, he said. They told me that
they were ready for a change.
Theres an entirely new coaching
staff, a newly hired video coordinator,
and a major investment in equipment.
And, McDonald believes, talent.
We have a bunch of kids who could
be playing college football someday,

Wilson carries 50-game L-L win streak into new season

It is said when Alexander the Great learned there

were no worlds left to conquer, he wept.
While Wilson football conquers the same world
Section One of the Lancaster-Lebanon League, on
an annual basis one will find no tears shed in West
Lawn, least of all by head coach Doug Dahms.
Since sinking their teeth into their first L-L crown
back in 1978, the Bulldogs have won 23 section titles,
18 outright, the last seven in a row.
In their 70th anniversary season of football, the
Dawgs bring a 50-game league winning streak into
the 2015 season, two wins short of Manheim Centrals record 52-game skein.
Their last league loss was to Manheim Township,
26-7, the last October Friday of 2007, Dahms second
season as head coach.
In a perfect world, of perfect seasons, the Bulldogs
would eclipse the Barons standard with a victory at
Hempfield on Oct. 9.
Dahms, the eighth coach in Wilsons long

grid history, enters his 10th season ranked
third on the Bulldogs victory list.
His 107 wins sit just behind Gerry Slemmers 129 and the 151 wins recorded by the
legendary John Gurski.
It was Gurski who took over a program
that, unbelievable as it may seem now, was
66-89-10 through its first 19 seasons.
Gurskis first two seasons produced a pair
of 5-5 records and, the story goes, he was
fired.
Luckily, Dahms shared at the 2015 L-L
League Media Day gathering, they were
smart enough to hire him back.
Gurskis fourth and sixth teams went undefeated and his Bulldogs claimed three
Tri-County League championships and four
L-L section titles before he handed the keys
to Slemmer, having laid the foundation of a

Following eight regular-season wins and a Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Two crown,
Lampeter-Strasburgs
2014
season ended earlier than anticipated when the third-seeded Pioneers were upset in the
first round of the District Three
Class AAA tournament, 34-14,
by No. 14 seed Daniel Boone.
It was definitely a blow,
tight end Darren Metz said
during preseason camp.
Metz, who stands 6-foot-5
and weighs 210 pounds, is a senior this year and expected to
play vital role for a L-S squad
looking to make up for last
years disappointing finish.
About the offense: L-S will start
by replacing nearly its entire
offensive line, as senior Merek
Hilliker (6-0, 230 pounds) is
the lone returning starter up
front. During camp, seniors Zach
Graham (5-7, 200), Isaiah Carr
(5-9, 215) and Pete Tollinger (60, 230) and juniors Joey Dreer
(5-8, 210) and Josh Beiler (6-1,
175) were battling it out for the
remaining spots.
Its the first time in years were
blessed with a bunch of young
kids with size who we have to

make into high school players as

quick as we can, head coach John
Manion said.
The man responsible for that is
o-line coach Bill Groff, whose
29-year coaching career includes
eight years as head coach at
Donegal, a position he held until
2008 before joining Manions staff.
Quarterback Collin Bear Shank
(160-for-279, 2,404 passing yards,
28 TDs, 5 INTs last season) returns
under center after surgery earlier
this year to remove a one-inch tumor
from the right side of his brain.

program that enters 2015 with a 522-215-14

log.
Slemmers teams won eight league championships along with two District Three titles
and his 1989 team advanced to the PIAA
Class AAAA championship game. Wilson
hasnt recorded a losing season since 1963.
I think a lot of it is continuity of coaching, said
Dahms who, like many of his assistants, played
for Gurski and assisted Gurski and Slemmer.
Perhaps the most impressive coaching undertaking came last year.
With only two returning starters to begin
with, and having lost two starting linemen in
preseason practice, Dahms Bulldogs trailed
rival Governor Mifflin by 17 heading into the
fourth quarter of the season opener.
And won in overtime ... sparking an unbeaten run ultimately halted by Pine Richland in the PIAA state semifinals.
About the offense: Time was Wilson would
flatten opponents with a ground attack that
was as punishing as it was productive as it was
predictably predominant. Times change.
The Bulldogs Spread Zone is paced by Shane
Dantzler, who rushed for 1,659 yards and 12
touchdowns and caught 21 passes for 270 yards and
six scores.

Jon Fox (22, 347, 8) and Alex Twiford (11, 171, 1)

spearhead a deep receiving corps. Senior Jake
Klein is primed to take over at quarterback for the
graduated Jake Templin.
About the defense: Defensively were a lot more
diverse, Dahms says, but youll still see John
Gurskis hand. Our base defense is still very much
what it was when he was here.
With 10 returning letterwinners, the Dawgs
4-4 defense is led by linebacker Ike Schannauer,
whose 69 tackles, with 35 assisted, were a team
high. He also had 3.5 sacks and 2 interceptions
Returning with him are defensive lineman Ben
Harris (6 tackles, 9 assists .5 sack), Twiford (9
tackles, 2 assists) at linebacker, with Fox (38
tackles, 14 assists, 4 picks) and Tommy OBrien
(20,4) in the defensive backfield.
Intangibles: As a coaching staff we dont want
to be the ones to break that (winning season)
streak of 51 years, Dahms said.
Im sure (the kids) feel the win streak pressure
too, but I think they feel more the pressure of
winning a league title. They dont want to be the
ones not to win a league title.
Key to the season: The same as any of the
previous 70 seasons: Win the first game, then the
second, then the third
Because we have a lot of skill kids back,
expectations are high, Dahms said. We just have
to keep everybody grounded, keep working like
were not that good.
Final word: There are no surprises with Wilson,
Manheim Township coach Mark Evans told Penn Live.
They come at you, they hit you and they weather
the storm against you. They make you break.

Continued from 24
coaches in camp with his speed

and athleticism. However, after
a left wrist injury in a preseason
scrimmage, Boynton is expected to
miss the first month of the season.
The running game lost leading
rusher Souders (34 carries, 563
rushing yards, 10 TDs) but does
bring back junior Chad Gaudino
(31-383-2), who will split carries
with junior Shane Lawler (11-2162) and senior Garrett Groshong
(13-219-0).
About the defense: The
Pioneers return four starters
on the d-line, and will see the
addition of 235-pound defensive
end Kyle Metz. Manion was still
working the pieces of the puzzle
in the linebacker corps with
Shank (88 tackles, two sacks,
three forced fumbles, three
recovered fumbles) the only
returner there.
Senior George Grau, who led
the team with four interceptions
last fall, returns in the defensive
backfield alongside senior Chase
Pirozzi (34 tackles, two INTs).
Boynton, Gaudino and Lawler will
likely round out this bunch.
Lets Go PIONEERS!
Hopefully this year we have

things in right places, Darren
Metz said. We lost a lot of guys
but a lot of guys are filling in
nicely for us. So this year should
be it.

Mules want to keep growing

Coxs goal is to have his team keep building on the success of 2014
TIM GROSS
TGROSS@LNPNEWS.COM
A winning record. A shot at a

share of the Section Two title.
A trip to the district playoffs for
the first time since 2007.
Solanco earned each of the
above items during its first year
under the direction of head
coach Tony Cox, but the coach

did not want to sit on his teams
accomplishments as it entered
Year Two.
Im not satisfied with what
our season was last year at all,
Cox said. Our major goal is to
be as successful as we possibly
can. You dont want to go into
something thinking that what

you did last year was it. Youve
got to have higher goals, higher
expectations.
About the offense: To meet those
higher expectations, Solanco looks
to build on the triple-option
SOLANCO, page 27
LANCASTER, PA | LNP
Solanco
Continued from 26
offense installed a year ago.

Having a year of the offense has helped
a lot, Cox said, because we can put
other things in and do different things.
Were not re-teaching a lot of stuff. Its
just moving on and trying to make our
offense and defense more solid.
The Golden Mules, who open the season
Sept. 4 at home against Oxford, return
several key players to their offense,
including senior starting quarterback
Noah McCardell, who threw for 444
yards, four touchdowns and six
interceptions last season and rushed for
817 yards and five scores.
Solanco also brings back its leading
rushers, a pair of seniors in Robbie Hassel
(880 yards, five rushing touchdowns)
and Prosper Eguzouwa (397 yards, one
touchdown), as well as its top receiver,
senior Troy Miller (10 receptions, 230
yards, two touchdowns).
About the defense: Graduation claimed
Solancos lynchpins in defensive end
Curtis Herr (83 tackles, 10 for loss) and
nose guard Bo Spiller (71 tackles, 14 for
loss). J.J. Gamber returns to the Solanco
line as a senior, and Cox plans to use
sophomore Jayson Hopkins in different
roles to take the proverbial torch from
Spiller and Herr.
Good Luck
SOLANCO!
I think the guys that we got replacing

(Spiller) and Curtis Herr, Cox said, are
going to be guys to step up and make
plays.
The Golden Mules linebacking corps of
Kyle Williams, Austin Polizzi, Gary Doubts
and Zeb Eshelman returns for a collective
senior season, as does safety Brandon
Williams and Miller, a cornerback.
We have some good core kids, Cox said.
Intangibles: To Cox, most of the teams
on-field success began with a renewed
zeal for the weight room, and he and his
staff had the benefit of a full calendar year
of weight training before Year Two kicks
off on the gridiron.
The biggest thing is the weight room,
Cox said, just getting the kids in the
weight room, getting the custom
workouts that we wanted to do in the
offseason. Just preparing for the whole
year.
Key to the season: Its up to the Golden
Mules 20 seniors to take the proverbial
torch from the graduated group that
helped turn the program around under
Cox.
Final word: The first couple games,
Williams, the senior linebacker, said of
the 2014 season, I saw that we as a
team were much different. We were more
physical, more emotional. A lot of that has
to do with the coaching staff.
Congratulations
SOLANCO!
Have another great year!

Garden Spot has made the

playoffs in each of the last four
seasons, only to lose in the first
round each year.
We have a lot of returning
players, so we can definitely go
back to the playoffs, said lineman Ethan Jones. But were
looking to stop going one and
done.
For Spot to accomplish that
goal, the Spartans will have
to rely on a new quarterback.
The Spartans threw 311 passes
in the last three seasons and
quarterback Mitch Martin
tossed 306 of those.
Weve had two quarterbacks
in six years, so we havent had
to worry about that position
much, Spartans coach Matt
Zamperini said of the recently
graduated Martin and John
Armbrust, who was the Spots
QB for three seasons prior to
Martin.
About the offense: Taking over
running the Spartans pistol
offense will be sophomore
Cameron Roth or junior Brock
Kauffman.
Those guys have a lot of
potential, Zamperini said. Our
offense is fairly complicated. It
takes some time to get it down.
It takes some time to build some
confidence in it. Youve just got to
get into the season and get into
some scrimmages and see what
kids can shoulder the burden.
Keeping the quarterback safe
should not be a problem, as
Spot returns four starters on the
offensive line. Seniors Jones,
Caleb Wagner, Jon Byrd and
junior Mark Ferris are all back.
Jahad Jeffers carries the ball to the end zone for Garden Spot against
Manheim Central last season. Now a junior, Jeffers, who led the ground
game last season with 650 yards and two TDs on 129 carries, will be the
Spartans tailback for 2015.
Theyre big, Zamperini said.

They move well. They have an
understanding of the offense.
They went through a lot of
growing pains at the position last
year. I have high expectations for
those guys.
Junior Jahad Jeffers, who led
the Spartans ground game last
season with 650 yards on 129
carries (including two TDs), will be
the tailback.
He had a breakout season last
year, Zamperini said of the 5-11,
215-pound running back.
Senior Daryl Hartman (27
receptions, 529 yards) is the
top returning receiver. His seven
TD catches tied for the most

touchdowns and most points on
last years team.
Junior Matt Focht and senior
Jacob Mast are two other
wideouts with experience. Focht
had 18 catches totaling 242 yards
last season, and he also compiled
113 yards and two touchdowns on
21 carries.
About the defense: Senior nose
guard Mitch Bawell will anchor the
Spartans 3-4 defense.
Senior Brady Mellinger, who had
35 tackles last season (including a
team-high four sacks) in just eight
games, leads the linebacker corps.

Kauffman and Hartman, who had three

interceptions last season, will be in the
secondary.
We have some young guys, who I think
are going to contribute a lot, Zamperini
said. Theyre inexperienced but have a
lot of potential.
Among them are junior linebackers Joe
Craver and Devon Lewis.
Intangibles: If the Spartans can play
with the poise they had last season,
the will have another successful year.
Lebanon ran the opening kickoff back
for a touchdown against the Spartans
last season and scored twice more to
take a 21-0 lead. But Spot kept plugging
and scored the winning TD with 27
seconds left in the game.
Key to the season: How quickly the new

quarterback picks up the system and
how efficiently he implements it will
determine the Spartans football fate.
Final word: Obviously we want to be
back in the playoffs, Zamperini said.
Four years in a row one week and out.
We want to be able to go further in the
playoffs. But to me, its more important
to spend the time talking about the
things that allow you to do that.
Focusing on football stuff.
My football philosophy is be the best
you can be. And do the things you
need to do to do that, all the little stuff.
Showing up and working hard. Focusing
on the things you can control day in and
day out. And see where those things
take us.

tor, takes over at Penn Manor, which has

been a postseason fixture in recent years
under departed Todd Mealy.
Brubaker said what coaches typically do about the assistant-to-head
coach transition.
Every day, there are new questions, he said. There are so many
needs to be addressed. What food
are the kids going to eat? When youre
in charge, youre in charge.
Same song, second verse, from
new Annville-Cleona coach Matt
Gingrich.
As an assistant, you come in and help
out, getting things ready, he said. If
everything didnt get done, it didnt
have my name on it. Now, everything
has your name on it.
Gingrich replaces Terry Lehman,
who retired after 28 years. He has
been an assistant at Cedar Crest and
Cocalico, under his brother Dave.
He appears to have a chance to win
right away. Twelve starters return
from a program that will be trying to
make a third straight postseason, an
all-time first for A-C.

13 Another recent PIAA wrinkle is

a required week of heat acclimation practice before full-blown workouts begin. Which caused Manheim
Township coach Mark Evans to wonder, Could you get the requirement
waived if you went to a team camp?
Evans club attended a team camp at
Lebanon Valley College for a week in
July he described as 12 full practices
in the hottest part of the summer. And
were doing 7-on-7 all summer. These
guys are already giving us enough of
Go S rt s!
our time. Just thinking out loud.
14 If theres an X-and-O wrinkle to

this season, its a back-to-the-future thing. In an age of the passing game
and spread offenses, Pequea Valley will
run a triple-option game similar to that
of the Naval Academy, and Donegal will
stick to the Delaware Wing-T.
The change (to passing game/
spread) is in our favor, said Donegal
coach Jeff Polites. It makes us that
much tougher to prepare for.
During the season, Tuesday
through Thursday are basically
game-planning, said PV coach Mike
Choi. Its really tough to get ready for
something so different in three days.

You might not have questioned the

Lancaster Catholic coaches for shaking
their heads as they walked off the field
after the Crusaders victory over Elizabethtown last fall.
Yes, they won the game. But it was the
ninth game of the season and they put
the ball on the ground five times, losing
it twice.
Catholic head coach Bruce Harbach
used the phrase deer in the headlights in part of his postgame assessment.
Most teams dont expect mental errors that deep into the season.
But at Lancaster Catholic, it was one
of those seasons.
A rare one.
For the first time in 10 seasons, the
Crusaders didnt go to the District
Three playoffs.
We were quite upset about that,
Harbach said. That was unlike Lancaster Catholic football since Ive been
there, except for my first year. Things
we stressed over the summer with the
players: We have to get back to Catholic
football again.
So, the Crusaders head into the new
season with a newfound resolve to cut

down on turnovers and penalties and

be a little more physical.
In addition, they aim to get right
with the mental part of the game.
The mental part last season had a
lot to do with not being ready for the
games, said Kurt Harnish, a returning running back/defensive end. We
didnt bring the intensity we needed.
This year, were bringing that and ev-
eryone is excited about the first game

against Dallastown.
About the offense: Catholic has to replace
the 1,266 yards of offense produced
by running back Nassim Weaver last
season. Harnish will see more carries after
blocking for Weaver the last two seasons
at fullback.
Wishing The Crusaders much

success and a Championship Season!

Continued from 30
Whereas Weaver (who committed to Slippery Rock) was a shifty

runner, Harnish and the other running backs will be more of the
attack, run-em-into-the-ground backs.
The Crusaders bring back the two-headed quarterback, with
Bryan Downey (34-65, 492 yards, 4 TDs) and Jordan Scott (101167, 1,169 yards, 6 TDs) sharing the duties. Downey, however, was
a bit ahead of Scott for potentially more snaps early in camp.
Both have a year under their belts, so they feel more
comfortable, Harbach said. Well take advantage of what the
defense does. We dont have to throw the ball 30 yards downfield.
We could throw 5-10-yard passes and take it from there.
Scott could see time at wide receiver if Downey is under center.
Either Downey or Scott will operate behind an experienced line
of Guillermo Rodriguez and Noah Thomas (Section Two SecondTeam All-Star) at tackle, Will Amidon and Aaron Anater at guard
and Eric Grill at center. Ricky Poillon and Alex Zaporozec return
at tight end, although Catholic may not run a tight end formation
very much.
The wide receiver rotation includes Andrew Bertz (12 catches, 143
yards), Christian Schweigert, Josh Houser, Ricky Poillon, Andrew
Kirchner, Thomas Jiminez.
About the defense: The Crusaders are looking to improve a
defense that ranked last in the Section Two in yards surrendered
per game last season.
Thomas (28.5 tackle points) returns at tackle and will be joined
by Rodriguez. Harnish (57 tackles points, three sacks) is back at
defensive end with Zaporozec will be at the other end.
The linebacker rotation includes Eli Crone, Chris Tshudy, Chris
Heise and Poillon. The secondary will be Downey (62 tackle
points) and Houser at safety with Schweigert, Jimenez and Scott
rotating at the corners.
Intangibles: The word pride gets tossed around a lot but the
current Crusaders said it may have been missing from their
program last season. They aim to get it back through dedication
and attention to detail. Its all in the leadership from the players.
Key to the season: Replacing Weavers offense. But the sense
is that the Crusaders will do that not with another 1,000-yard
rusher but with a stable of backs and through the air with a
short-passing attack.
Final word: If the Crusaders are to make a return to the district
playoffs, they will have to navigate a difficult Section Two
schedule to compile wins. They have taken a first step in vowing
to be mentally ready for every game.

New football coach

Bill McDonald is taking over at Elizabethtown, where the Bears
were winless last year.
But McDonald does
not believe E-town
will be 0-10 this season.
Im not going to
throw numbers out
there, but my expectations have always
been on the positive
side, McDonald said.
So Im hoping these
young guys see how
talented we are and
Im hoping we can get
results.
It was definitely
tough going through
it last year, senior
Cole Epler said of the
Bears dismal season.
But I think it definitely makes us want
it more this year.
McDonald may be a
rookie head coach, but

hes been in the game
for a long time. He was
an assistant coach at
Lancaster Catholic for
11 seasons and served
as the offensive coordinator for the Crusaders in 2009 and
11, when the Catholic
won the state championship.
They were ready
for change, McDonald said of his players.

(Ill say) nothing bad
about the previous
coaching staff. But the
seniors, theyve been
through multiple offensive coordinators,
multiple systems. So
were trying to bring
some stability to what
theyve had to go
though.
About the offense: The

Bears will run a multipleset offense that is equal
run and pass. Senior
Kameron Burkholder (51
for 112, 517 yards, 5 TDs,
9 INT last season) and
junior Micah Garber (15
for 25, 170 yards, 2 TDs,
1 INT) are vying for the
quarterback spot.
Senior Amos Beiler and
junior Scott Fox will be
the tailbacks, while

are at fullback.
Epler (26 catches, 354 yards, 2 TDs), a
senior, was the Bears leading receiver
from last season. He returns to lead a
group of wideouts that includes senior
Marcus Shutt and juniors Logan Yohn and
James Kreiser.
Junior Jon Clough, who McDonald called
a very talented individual whos going
to be playing college football, is at tight
end.
John Bender (6-4, 340) will head an
o-Line that will also have Lathanael Olson,
Nick Strunge, Hunter Kennedy, Jordan
Myers, Brody Spickler and Cole DeBerry.
About the defense: Thomas Rudy, who
coached with McDonald at Catholic, will
oversee the defense for the Bears, who
will run multiple variations off a 3-5 base.
The o-linemen will rotate up front on D.
Clough is the middle linebacker, while
seniors Evan Fertich, Fry and Hileman will
play outside. Beiler doubles as an outside
or inside linebacker.

Cooper are at safety, where Fox will also

Intangibles: I like the kids, McDonald
said. Theyre tough, and so far, theyve
been pretty focused.
Key to the season: I dont think winnings
a bad word, McDonald said. Im not
going to go make predictions as to how
many games were going to win. But I
think, these kids have expectations. If we
can stay healthy, I think well be able to
compete.
Final word: McDonald believes he can be
successful in his first season as the Bears
coach. But more importantly, his players
are also believers.
Starting off, I was very skeptical, Bender
said. ... But coach Mac is very confident.
... and that confidence spreads to other
people. ... Its been a big change for all of
us. Im very positive for the season. Im
looking forward to it.
This is the first season I can put a smile
on my face. I cant wait to go through
every game, every minute, every second
of it.

TGROSS@LNPNEWS.COM
A long, winding, obstacleladen 2014 season for Cocalico

ended at Hersheypark Stadium, as Bishop McDevitt KOed
the Eagles, 41-0, in a late-November district title fight.
Getting off the bus, said
senior DJ Fabiani, and being
like, We made it here, that
was a great feeling. Not many
teams get the opportunity to
play in that stadium or be in
that type of game.
The 2014 Eagles reached
that type of game by overcoming a competitive Section Two
schedule and a slew of injuries
at key positions.
It was a great experience,
said 12th-year coach Dave Gingrich, and I hope they take
some of the things from there
the hard work, the adversity
that they had to face, and some
of the things that they got to
enjoy.
With health and experience,
the 2015 Cocalico Eagles enter their Sept. 4 season opener
against Daniel Boone looking
to build on their 2014 success.
About the offense: After his 2014
season ended in Week Eight with
a torn ACL, Cocalico quarterback
Dante Haines returns under
center.
Our offense is such that
Cocalicos Dominic Fabiani during a game against Lampeter-Strasburg.
the quarterback is very, very

important, Gingrich said.
Basically the engine of our
offense. I just look at some of
the things hes done already, and
I can tell footwork-wise, smarts
and where to go, what to do, hes
much improved.
Before his season ended,
Haines passed for 621 yards,
seven touchdowns and four
interceptions to complement
his 10 rushing touchdowns.
The Eagles also return Fabiani
(99 rushes, 809 yards, 10
touchdowns) and receivers Trevor

Fichthorn and Moses Ulysse.
Up front, the Eagles lost John
Fry, a four-year starter at guard,
as well as tackle Jake Keifer and
tight end Justin Marderness.
Abdul Saad, Brady Maxwell and
Ben Fromm return to the Eagles
line with experience.
About the defense: We lost a
lot the year prior on defense,
Gingrich said of a defensive
squad that finished second in
Section Two to Manheim

Continued from 34
Central in yards allowed (252.8 per

game). Fromm, who played on the
line last year as a freshman, moved to
linebacker to help replace the graduated
Keifer, Marderness and Dennis Boyer.
Fabiani highlights an Eagles secondary
that also returns Fichthorn and Ulysse.
Intangibles: With injuries to, among
others, Haines and then-senior
leading rusher Matt Weinhold, several
underclassmen received playing time
during the Eagles postseason march.
Practicing an extra four weeks, Gingrich
said, gave every kid an opportunity to
get better, whether the kids were playing
on Friday nights or werent playing on
Friday nights, they still had an additional
four weeks to work on it.
Key to the season: Keifer, Marderness
and Dennis Boyer authored 224 tackles
(36 for loss), four fumble recoveries
and an interception. Much of the
Eagles 2015 defense hinges on how
well the linebackers sophomores
Brandon Brubaker, Owen Lippold and
Nate Musser, and juniors Brady Sawyer
and Justin Burd fill the void.
Final word: Were not the biggest,
Gingrich said. Were not the strongest.
Were not the fastest. So we better be the
most disciplined. We better execute. We
better play with passion.

takes part
in a preseason
drill at
Columbia.
From new coach Sottasante on down, a lot is different at Columbia

DAVE BYRNE
DBYRNE@LNPNEWS.COM
For the first time ever, the

head coach of the Columbia
football program will not be a
Columbia native.
So? you ask.
Football at Columbia has
always been a family-focused
undertaking, rooted deep in
the soil of the hills that rise
above the Susquehanna River.
From native son Jack Yohe,
who returned to coach his alma
mater for nearly a generation,
through three generations of
the Burke family, coaching Columbia football has been a Columbia thing.
No longer.
Marietta native Anthony
Sottasante takes the reins of
the Tide this year, the first
head-coaching
assignment
for the one-time Donegal star

after several postings as an assistant.
Im fairly familiar with the
community, with the tradition
of Columbia, offers Sottasante, who comes from the staff
at Stevens Tech after stops at
Donegal, Kennard-Dale and
York Suburban.
Columbia is a pretty similar
town to where I grew up, and
thats one of the things that attracted me to the job.
His is the opportunity to
start, literally, from scratch as
just four letterwinners return
from a squad that went 2-8 in
2014, 1-5 in Section Three of
the L-L League.
Senior center Jason Price
and senior guard Robert Jackson bring three years experience in the trenches, joined by
junior tight end Tyreese Musser and sophomore two-way

lineman Mason Sheetz.
Price (45 tackles, 35 solo),
Jackson (17,8) and Musser (29,
23) anchor the defense from
their linebacker positions.
Now is when Price and Jackson reap the reward of playing beside Andres Munoz and
Vanyel
Leythem-Peterson,
star linemen who graduated in
2014.
They taught me you have to
have a high motor, says Price.
You can never give up.
About the offense: Well run the
Flex-T, says Sottasante.
Which begs the question, what is
the Flex-T?
Its a triple-option oriented
offense. The best way to
COLUMBIA, page 37
LANCASTER, PA | LNP
Continued from 36
categorize it is its in between the

Wishbone and the Flexbone, Sottasante
explains.
Were an on-the-fly offense, a lot of
pre-snap reads, says Price, charged with
making those reads.
As soon as I come to the line I make my
calls, snap the ball and we adjust on the
fly.
Its a quick offense, very dynamic, adds
quarterback Dominic Sierra, a senior in his
first varsity season who attempted two
passes, completing one for seven yards,
and rushed seven times for 42 yards as a
junior.
I can expect the pace to be a lot faster
than junior varsity, he says with no
understatement.
About the defense: Like the offense, the
defense is brand new. Not a bad thing as
the Tide ranked dead last in the league in
rush defense in 2014, 21st overall.
Columbia will play a multiple odd front,

Columbia
based out of a 5-2 set. Were a very

up-tempo defense, very aggressive,
Sottasante says.
Its a lot of read-and-react. Well jump
from a 5-2 to a 3-3, depending on
our opponent, tendencies, things like
that.
Intangibles: How fast can Sierra acclimate
himself? He wont be asked to win a game
with his arm. But his skills need to be
honed to a sharp edge.
Ive been preparing very hard for that,
he said, and I have my mindset ready for
the intensity, the faster defenses.
Key to the season: The Tide has the
month of September, and four nonleague
contests, to prepare for the L-L schedule,
which opens at home with Donegal.
Survive that stretch at .500 or better
while establishing the new system and the
Tide will rise.
Final word: If the Tide plays as up-tempo
on either side of the ball as Sottasante
promises, it would be a good idea for the
marching band to get the charts for Boots
Randolphs Yakkety Sax (aka: the Benny
Hill theme). Theyll be playing it a lot in
the stands.

The Ephrata offensive line

gets set
to snap
the ball
during a
scrimmage
against
Elco.
LAURA ECKERT THOMPSON | STAFF
Mounts see prep, hard work resulting in a team thats coming together
DIANA PUGLIESE
to really do that and compete.
After a second straight winless season, there

were a lot of things Ephrata could blame for the
teams slump.
A change in section.
Implementing new offensive and defensive
schemes in the same year.
A squad that didnt have a single returning
starter.
But the Mounts have no time to worry about
that.
Our mantra this year is no more excuses and
were not going to make any excuses for anything
we do, said coach Scott Shelley. Were just going to get after people and compete as hard as we
can and theyre going to have a lot more of the
skill sets, the attitude and everything necessary
About the offense: The Mounts bring back their

entire offensive line, backfield and receivers in
addition to senior quarterback Jerrad Malmer.
Were going to do a lot of things, Shelley said of
the Mounts offensive gameplan. We put in a new
running game and Im excited about that. I think
were having fun and theyve picked it up really well.
Just the little things that were doing, they can see it,
the success is there for them.
About the defense: There will be holes, however, for
Ephrata to fill on the defense, which now shifts to a
4-4 scheme.
Malmer wont be back as Shelley wants to keep him
solely under center unless necessary, but there are
some big names that should step up. Second team
All-Section linebacker Hunter Lehman will play up

the middle, while Tyler Mentzer starts as the outside

back.
Shelley is also impressed with the early play of RJ Barrett
at tackle, but wants to see who is going to step up and
force his way into the game.
You dont walk on the field and think youre going to
start every job is open, said Shelley. Youve got to
compete against each person. Were going to take the
guys that want to compete the hardest and theyll get

that job and then well go from there.
Intangibles: The Mounts put in the time over the
offseason, both learning the system and working with a
trainer.
I want to say this year I feel like were a lot better
prepared, said two-way lineman Peter Ehrhart. Weve
been working a lot in the offseason weve had a real
offseason this year, working agility and speed along with
strength in the weight room and I think thats going to
help us compared to last season.
We talked long and hard about changing the culture of
Ephrata football and because of their hard work, thats
exactly what happened, added Shelley.

Key to the season: Its all about the senior leadership
for Shelly, and Ehrhart can already see the impact the
veterans are having.
Were meshing together as a team a lot more than
we have in previous years, said the senior. Its a lot of
were talking on the line, we see communication in the
backfield, the quarterbacks working with the line its
all coming together as one team.
Final word: Respect.
A lot of teams think of us as a joke, but I dont, said
Malmer. This year were going to surprise some people.

JOHN WALK
JWALK@LNPNEWS.COM
The first two years of Donegal football under the direction of head coach
Jeff Polites seem like a distant memory.
Since those pair of sub-.500 campaigns,
Donegal has amassed a 28-15 overall
mark the last four years, making districts three times.
Polites has steered the Indians to
plus-.500 records in Lancaster-Lebanon League action four years in a row,
which hadnt been done at Donegal
since 1996-99. So the coach has the Indians winning consistently.
Of course, hes striving for more, and
isnt satisfied with last years 7-4 campaign, which included a third-place
finish in L-L Section Three with a 4-2
league mark. The two league losses
came in overtime at Annville-Cleona in
Week 4 and in regulation to Northern
Lebanon in Week 8.
We lost an overtime game and we
should always win those, in my opinDONEGAL, page 41

Continued from 40
ion, Polites said. We were winning late

in the game and they came back. We let
them come back in the game and they
beat us.
At Northern Lebanon (in Week 8) if we
wouldve beat them we couldve gotten
a share of the section title. We came out
strong and scored first. They just were
more physical than us. Thats not the
kind of team we like to be.
About the offense: Polites feels Donegal
has the pieces and numbers to again
contend for a section title this season,
which is saying a lot considering how
much talent the Indians lost to graduation.
On offense, that includes two offensive
linemen, quarterback Connor Ness
(1,147 passing yards, 12 TDs last season),
wideout Skyler Minnich (281 receiving
yards), and running backs Bryce Sadler
(1,114 rushing yards) and Connor Maxwell
(1,065 rushing yards, 409 receiving yards).
All are gone.
Senior Derek Mohr (6-foot, 165 pounds)
is moving over from wideout to QB, and
is expected to get the keys to Donegals
Wing-T attack.
Look for Maxwells shoes to be filled by

Fight On
Donegal
5-foot-7, 170-pound senior back Austin

Dimeler (338 rushing yards, 260 receiving
yards), who will line up at running back and
wide receiver.
Dimeler will share carries with junior fullback
Cameron Ellis (5-foot-7, 200 pounds) and
senior fullbacks Cole Leety (5-5, 165) and
Mario Marshall (5-7, 210). Marshall is moving
from the o-line to fullback, a position he last
played as a sophomore.
The Indians lost tight end Yashua Montague
(six receptions, 143 receiving yards)
to graduation but do return junior Joe
Yunginger (5-11, 215), who started in the
playoffs last year.
About the defense: While the offense has
plenty of parts to fill, the defense comes in
solid with nearly its entire d-line and nearly
all of its linebackers returning, which fits well
with Donegals 4-4 front.
Defensive back Mohr (47 tackles, two
interceptions) also returns. This is good news
for a unit that needs an improvement from
the 22.5 regular season points a game it
allowed a year ago.
Also, take note the Indians are have a largerthan-normal roster, with about 60 players
this fall compared to around 40 last year,
which Polites said helps in practice and
depth-wise as injuries pop up over the course
of the season.
We have high expectations, Polites said.
Definitely werent satisfied last year with
the way we finished some games in the
league.

Liking the effort

Cedars seek steady improvement, return to winning ways
BURT WILSON
BWILSON@LNPNEWS.COM.
After reaching the playoffs

in 2013, the Lebanon Cedars
fell to 3-7 last season.
We want to get back to winning, and I think we can do that
if we stay healthy, Lebanon
coach Gerry Yonchiuk said.
The Cedars were two plays
from being .500 last season.
Lebanon led the entire game
vs. Garden Spot before losing
on a TD with 27 seconds remaining. And Solanco beat the
Cedars on a field goal in a driving rain with nine seconds left.
It was frustrating, but weve
put that behind us, Yonchiuk
said. I like our players. I like
where we are at this point. I
like the effort. So far, so good.
We just have to keep it up.
About the offense: Junior Cody
Kissinger will lead the Cedars
up-tempo offense. Last season the

quarterback, who played just five
games because of injury, completed
64 of 119 pass attempts totaling 921
yards, six TDs and six interceptions.
Hes a very smart player, Yonchiuk
said of Kissinger, who started at
free safety as a freshman. He does
all the reads, all the stuff you want
from a quarterback in the Air Raid
offense.
Kissinger will be protected by an
experienced offensive line, which
will be anchored by three-year
starters Lucas Imm (a preferred
walk-on at Temple) and Gian Fabian.
Junior Khalique Washington,
who Yonchiuk called a big time
prospect, will be at left tackle,
Trever Armpriester is the left guard
and junior Isaiah Blauch will play
right guard.
If we stay healthy, I believe this
will be our best line in my 10
years, Yonchiuk said.
Senior Malik Hunter, who was the
teams leading scorer, returns at
tailback.
We have a lot of speed at wide

receiver, Yonchiuk said of the
wideouts that include Luke
Fureman, Jeremiah Beckley,
Alex Maldonado and Jonathan
Maldonado.
And Juan Suarez and Danny
Caricabeur, who is back after not
playing last season, will be the
H-backs.
About the defense: The Cedars
are switching from a 3-4 to a
4-2-5 this season. Imm, who the
coach said will make it tough
inside for opponents; Hunter,
who will be difficult to block
because of his speed; and twoyear starter Marcus Jimenez will
all be on the line.
At linebacker, Fureman and Markell
Scarborough will be outside, while
Nicholas Bradley and Joshua
Kauffman will be inside.
In the defensive backfield,
Caricabeur, Julian Imm and Luis
Aquino-Rios will play safety and
Alex Maldonado and Jonathan
Maldonado (no relation) are the

at Annville-Cleona.
cornerbacks.
Intangibles: I like the character
of the senior group in terms of
their leadership ability, Yonchiuk
said. I think thats huge.
Key to the season: The Cedars
use a fast-paced, no-huddle
offense, which sometimes leaves
players gassed late in the game
if they have to play both sides of
the ball. Lebanon is planning on
using five or six two-way players.

If that number increases because
of injuries, they will have trouble.
Final word: Our big goal is to
get back to a winning season,
Yonchiuk said. To do that we
have to be consistent. You cant
be like a yo-yo where you have
a great day and then you have a
below average day. If we can just
improve a little bit each day, then
well be OK.

SECTION 3
Losses aside, Vikings seek continued success

Team relying on fresh influx of talent
KEVIN FREEMAN
George Thompson endured

the 2-8 and 3-7 seasons as a
sophomore and junior knowing that the losses were building blocks for the future.
For Thompson and his
Northern Lebanon teammates, the lessons learned
turned into a Section Three
title when the Vikings fashioned an undefeated league
season last year.
They did so with the likes of
quarterback Isaac Ray, running back Dominic Trader and
receiver Mason Yost, all three
among the statistical leaders in
Section Three.
Thompson, who will be
starting for a fourth straight
year, sees no step back for the
Vikings.
We knew last year was our
year to step up and we did,
Thompson said. This year,
we have a lot of talent com-
ing thats replacing other talent. Weve all played together

since peewees and midgets.
Now its time to win another
championship in high school.
Coach Roy Wall said last
season gave the returning
players confidence.
In my first couple of seasons at Northern Lebanon,
we hoped to win if things went
our way, he said. Now, we
know were going to make our
own breaks.
About the offense: At
quarterback, one Isaac replaces
another, with Isaac Wengert
stepping in for Ray. Wengert is
happy to be operating behind
an offensive line that is mostly
seniors.
I trust those guys with my life, he
said.
Of the Vikings top 10 linemen,
eight are seniors. They include
Thompson at center, two-year
starter Josiah Kerstetter at right
guard and Dustin Motter. Ethan
Beard will be in the lineman mix,

too. Hunter Wallace, a junior, will
see time at tackle.
The running backs will be Noah
Smith, Luke Funck and Central
Dauphin transfer Dylan Weaver.
Cory Teasdale returns at receiver
and hell be joined by Colton Herb
(who is a returning first-team
punter) and Will Thompson.
About the defense: Matt Vines,
a first-team All-Star, returns
to anchor the line along with
Thompson and Motter. In all, six
linemen who played last season
five of them starters return.
Funck and Tyler Mengel return at
linebacker. Weaver will get time
there, too. Wengert returns at
safety.
The strength of our team is the
heart of the defense, Wall said.
Our defense will drive our team.
Intangibles: The graduation of
Ray, Trader and Yost give the
impression that the Vikings
will have to rebuild but seven
returning players who were
named L-L League All-Stars last
season, either First- or SecondTeam or Honorable Mention, says
this is a team poised to repeat as

section champs.
Key to the season: The
performance of the offense
under QB Wengert, whos been
champing at the bit to get his
chance.
Weve been waiting for this
moment for a while now, he

said. Were going to seize it,
were not going to mess it up.
Final word: We know were not
going to sneak up on anyone
now, Wall said. Were going
to get everyones A game. And
well give them ours.

Gingrich is poised
to begin new traditions
Former Dutchman player taking

reins from longtime boss Lehman
About the offense: Adam Fox and Noah Myers both

played quarterback last season and will do so this
season. Heading into camp, Fox was a little ahead
and may get more snaps.
Our goal is to have two starting quarterbacks,
Gingrich said. Fox will play defense (and special
teams) all game so he will need his breaks.
When Fox (95 carries, 428 yards, 9 TDs; 33-64
passing, 5 TDs) is under center, Myers will be on the
field at wide receiver. If Myers is the QB, Fox will be
in the slot.
The tailbacks will be Will Langan (71 carries, 551
yards) and Cameron Hoch (32-448). Alec Barr (15
catches, 287 yards) will be in the slot (a position that
includes running the ball in A-Cs offense). There is
depth at fullback, including Dylan Bomgardner.
On the offensive line, the guards will be Brandon
Light and Lucas Bush, with Darien Peris working in
there. The tackles include Isaac Burris, who is 6-foot8, and returning starter Alex Musante. Brandon Ulrich
and Chris Boltz will be the tight ends.
HEAD COACH
Matt Gingrich
(1st season)
2015 ROSTER
KEVIN FREEMAN
When Matt Gingrich became an assistant coach

at Cocalico under his older brother and head
coach Dave, the two engaged in game-planning
and play-calling that were epic family feuds.
Listening in on the headsets was quite amusing in my first two or three seasons there, said
Matt Gingrich. Im not kidding when I tell you
that it was a fight every day.
Borne out of those battles was how to coach
winning football teams.
The only reason we did it was to get better,
he said. It was to the point that, the last fourfive years, we barely had to talk because we both
knew what we were going to do.
Gingrich takes what he has learned in 10 years
on the Cocalico staff and last year was an assistant at Annville-Cleona to the head coaching
position at A-C, his alma mater, where he takes
over for Terry Lehman, who spent 28 years at
the Little Dutchmens helm.

ROBERT R. DEVONSHIRE JR. | LNP CORRESPONDENT
Annville-Cleona quarterback Noah Myers (10) keeps the

ball and runs during a scrimmage against Lebanon.
Boltz will see time at wide receiver, along with Griffin

Hertz, Cameron Watts and Julian DeReyes-Kapp.
About the defense: The Little Dutchmen boasted the
top defense in Section Three last season, surrendering
231.4 yards per game over the 10-game regular season.
Whereas last season, the front four were the
Dutchmens strength, this season, the linebackers
and secondary will be the strength.
On the whole on defense, I think we have the ability
to be as good as last season, Gingrich said. We
didnt cause many turnovers last year. My goal this
season is to wreak more havoc.
The cornerbacks will be Barr and Hoch. The safeties are
Fox and Langan. The linebackers are Light, a Section
Three First-Team All-Star, Mark Wagner and Kurtis Reigle.
Bush, also a First-Team All-Star, is the lone returnee
up front on defense.
Intangibles: Acclimating to the ways of a new
coach. The players will have to adhere to Gingrichs
coaching style. That could involve a period of
adjustment. Practice is one thing, playing in games is
another.
Key to the season: Accountability. Its the No. 1 thing
stressed by Coach Gingrich, said Light. On offense,
we have to minimize turnovers and on defense
create more turnovers to give our offense more
opportunities.
Final word: Lehmans departure certainly didnt
leave Gingrich with empty cupboard. There is
experience everywhere except in some positions on
the offensive line. The goal for the Little Dutchmen
is to make a third straight appearance in the District
Three Class AA playoffs and beyond that, win a
district game, something an Annville-Cleona team
has yet to do.

Returning experience gives Raiders a boost

Whats more, QB Jeff Martins target options are expanding
JOHN WALK
JWALK@LNPNEWS.COM
Elco finished with a .500 record in Lancaster-Lebanon

League Section Three competition last season. The Raiders
were also one win shy of going
.500 overall. Keep that in mind
when considering that team lost
only three players to graduation.
So just about everyone is
back for Elco, including the
L-Ls third-highest passer
last season, Jeff Martin (144223, 1,933 passing yards, 19
TDs last season). Oh, and the
Raiders also managed to add
onto the roster in the category
where games are usually won
or lost the trenches.
Yep, Elco has 16 offensive
linemen listed on the 2015
roster, 12 of them upperclassmen and seven of them more
than 6-feet tall. Fourth-year
head coach Bob Miller feels
this depth, a rarity in previous seasons, should keep his
team fresh through the fourth
quarter of games this fall.
HEAD COACH
Bob Miller
(4th season, 14-15)
So the expectations are running high for the Raiders this fall.
Its high from everybody,
the coaches and the players,
senior lineman Nate Hostetter said.
About the offense: The o-line
lost one starter to graduation
but returns Hostetter (5-11, 185
pounds) and fellow seniors
Jeremy Habowski (6-0, 195) and
Colt Umberger (6-2, 310).
At QB, Martin is being given more
responsibility to run the show.
Theres a lot of run and pass
reads. Jeff has the ability now if
were running a play against a
defense thats favorable he can
change the play, Miller said.
Martin has also apparently
improved in his ability to look
at more passing options on the
field. That should help, given that
his top threat in 2014, last years
Section Three leading receiver
Dustin Miller (70 catches, 1,115
receiving yards, 11 TDs), is gone.
Last year it was a lot of looking
at Dustin Miller. Jeff has started to
open that up a bit, Bob Miller said.
Six-foot-one senior tight end
Dylan Stoops (23 catches, 234

receiving yards, four TDs) is
returning, but Miller would like to
take some pressure off Martins
shoulders by having more of a
balanced attack this season. Aiding
that cause will be a thunderand-lightning combination of
6-foot-1, 220-pound junior back
Tyler Horst (527 rushing yards,
eight touchdowns) and 5-foot7, 175-pound senior back Travis
Zimmerman (476 rushing yards,
four TDs).
About the defense: Elco must
replace three starters with d-back
Dustin Miller and d-lineman Pat
Adams having graduated and
d-lineman Bobby Kreps having
transferred out of state.
Hostetter will anchor the d-line,
with 6-foot-5, 210-pound
senior Nick Kitsch and 5-foot8, 227-pound senior Tony
Rodriguez both coming back
with varsity experience.
Umberger is also expected to
jump into the fray up front.
Three linebackers (Horst, junior
Kyle Knight and senior Ryan
Rolon) and two d-backs (senior
Kory Brown and senior safety
Luis Rolon) all return.
I think were gonna be a pretty
Returning QB Jeff Martin hands off to a running back during a preseason

football practice at Elco High School.
solid defense this year, Hostetter

said. Weve definitely gotten
a lot more work in. And were
definitely feeling stronger as
a unit. Im hoping to see some
good things from us.
Also of note, Elco has a chance
of finishing at .500 or better in
league action for the fourth year
in a row. That hasnt been done
by the Raiders since 1977-80.

Braves eye playoff possibilities
HEAD
COACH
Coach Mike Choi targets his players potential for growth
Mike Choi
(2nd season,
5-5)
TIM GROSS
TGROSS@LNPNEWS.COM
After matching Pequea Valleys

single-season win record in his
first year at the helm, whats the
next step Mike Choi sees for the
upstart Braves?
The next step, Choi said, is
playoffs. Obviously, what comes
with playoffs is a winning record
at that point. But we want to compete.
With his system in place and returning players at key positions,
Choi thinks the Braves can build
on the success of his first year.
About the offense: Choi expects the
Braves to improve on 252.2 yards
of offense per game in 2014, their
first year running his triple-option
package.
Coming in and putting in a triple
option is always tough in the first
year, Choi said, because you have
linemen whose heads are swimming
and trying to figure out what their
fundamentals and techniques should
be. Our backs are running, but are
they running the right angles? Are
they running it the way we want to?
Are they meshing the right way?
The offense stems from power up
front with a line anchored by the
experienced John Gregson (a 6-5,
305-pound junior) and John Lindquist
(a 6-3, 215-pound senior).

Weve thrown in some new plays

and different things with the
offense, Allgyer said. Were all
more comfortable, and its going
to help us a lot.
About the defense: Lindquist,
a lineman, Allgyer, a linebacker,
and Fisher, a defensive back, all
received first-team Section One
All-Star honors.
Defensively, Choi said, we have
leaders at every level.
The Braves found themselves in
the middle of the pack of Section
Three defenses, allowing 274.1
yards per game and 199 points last
season.
We just simplified things and
allowed them to play faster, Choi
said, and allow these kids to be
who they are.
Intangibles: The Braves
open their season with four

consecutive road games,
beginning with a trip to York Tech
scheduled for Sept. 5.
This year, having more
expectations on us and wanting
to get over the hump this year,
Choi said, I think itll be nice to
get away and not have all of the
craziness that goes along with
playing at home and having that
put on us right off the bat.
I think itll allow us to sit back and
relax and allow us to play those
four games.
Key to the season: Outside of
Gregson and Lindquist, senior
Donnie Broomell and junior Wyatt
Schwanger have experience on
the line.
Final word: Our attitude, Allgyer
said, I think, changed completely.
We play with more of a swagger
now. We like to get after it.
Our attitude, I
think, changed
completely. We
play with more
of a swagger
now. We like to
