By Matt GoulGameTimePA.com

The quarterback drops back in a shotgun forma-tion and surveys the de-fense.

With a snap of his right leg and flick of his hands, the ball is snapped. He takes off.

This scenario became natural for both James Way III of William Penn and York Catholic’s Ha-keem Kinard every Friday night last fall. Sometimes they’d collect big yards through the air: a YAIAA-best 1,671 yards through 10 games for Way, and an-other 1,730 for Kinard after guiding the Fighting Irish to a district title game. Both also rushed for more than 1,000 yards, a feat only two returning run-ning backs in the area can claim.

“I just think it’s the way of offenses right now with spreading everybody out, and it just fits so well,” said West York coach Ron Miller, whose teams faced Way and the Bearcats the last two years. He has his own dual-threat QB in senior Ross Campbell coming off a 1,107-passing and 700-yard rushing sea-son.

“These running quarter-backs are difficult to pre-pare for. We know what it’s like at practice,” Miller said of Campbell.

“He’s a pain in the butt for our coaches because he is so athletic and can get out on the edge. It’s a cycle. It will come back.”

The dual-threat quarter-back is nothing new.

For defending YAIAA Di-vision I champion Central

York, its Week 10 encounter last year with the Bearcats called for the “Clem drill.” Named after former Carlisle quarterback Clem Johnson, ex-Panthers defensive coor-dinator and current Spring Grove coach Russ Stoner devised tactics to prepare his team for such a versa-tile threat.

The timed drill includes bags for defensive linemen to step over while chasing a quarterback. There are no breaks, as the receiv-ers catching passes must return and re-run their routes. Each time, the linemen are chasing some

of Central’s fastest play-ers, who play the role as quarterback.

“Every two or three years, we have to break it out of the closet and do it again,” said Central coach Brad Livingston, who isn’t alone in special game plans for QBs like Way or Kinard.

Last year, Red Lion coach Jesse Shay used punt re-turner Quincy Palmer, a standout track sprinter, as the scout-team quarterback in the Lions’ preparation for William Penn and Way.

“It’s a challenge,” Shay said, “because you have to

decide, ‘What’s he gonna do that’s gonna hurt us worse?’ With James, he can throw the ball a mile but, honestly, what I think makes him most dangerous is his abil-ity to escape the pocket.”

Keeping the ball out of the quarterback’s hands is one way to combat them. In York Catholic’s four losses last year, its oppo-nents rushed for at least 250 yards.

Eventual YAIAA Division III champion Littlestown took the ball-control, run-ning strategy to heart. Known for his team’s pass-ing, coach Mike Lippy shied

away from that style despite falling into a 7-0 deficit by halftime against the Irish. Kinard had much to do with it, engineering a late second-quarter drive for the lone score.

Littlestown wound up running 58 times for more than 300 yards, limiting Kinard’s opportunities, in a 21-7 win. The setback dropped York Catholic to 2-3 at the season’s midway point. A chance to play for a district championship seemed far-fetched, but the Irish reeled off six straight wins.

COVER STORY

QBs force a difficult decisionJames Way III, Hakeem Kinard return after 1,000-yard seasons in both passing and rushing

KATE PENN — GAMETIMEPA.COM

Quarterbacks James Way III of William Penn, left, and Hakeem Kinard of York Catholic had 1,000-yard performances in both rushing and passing last season, making them not only experienced players but talented dual threats.

Meet the quarterbacks whose feet have proven to be just as just as valuable as their arms:Ross Campbell, West York: His first year under center yielded 1,112 yards passing and another 700 rushing. Both led the Bulldogs.Mason Flickinger, Fair-field: A three-year starter, Flickinger threw for 959 yards as a junior. He also rushed for 405 yards, sec-ond on the Green Knights behind graduated running back Nick Mort.Marcus Josey, North-eastern: Josey assumed the controls as a sopho-more. He showed flashes of big games and threw for 1,309 yards. Produc-tive running games came early, including a close loss to playoff-bound Shippensburg.Hakeem Kinard, York Catholic: One of two quarterbacks to gain 1,000 yards both passing and rushing, Kinard fin-ished with a league-best 1,730 yards passing and 1,203 rushing in 12 games. He also threw 20 touchdowns with just eight inter-ceptions. An All-YAIAA cornerback, Kinard has received college inter-est from Holy Cross and Delaware.James Way III, Wil-liam Penn: With a few college offers and hoping for more, Way comes off 1,671 yards passing and 1,127 rushing as a junior. His 8.29-yard average on the ground was among the league’s best.

IN THE HUDDLE

By Brandon StoneburgGameTimePA.com

Most coaches and fans of the YAIAA would say Bermudian Springs is a safe bet to win Di-vision III.

Yes, the Eagles have won 29 of their last 30 games. And yes, their highly touted backfield duo of Colton Dull and Briton Shel-ton returns.

Head coach Jon DeFoe doesn’t want to hear it. There is still plenty of work to be done, he said.

“You put together a program, and you want to be in the thick of it year in and year out,” DeFoe said. “Regardless of what pre-vious teams have done, I would think these guys would want to do the same thing.”

A key to maintaining its recent success will be how smoothly Ber-mudian’s Wing-T offense runs. People have joked about the Ea-gles running only eight plays. But even when the opposition knows what’s coming, they’re still having trouble stopping it: the Eagles ran for 2,890 yards last season.

“We do what we’re good at in-stead of giving you a whole buffet and not being good at anything,” DeFoe said.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Seniors Col-lin Weigle and Ryan Markle will compete in camp to replace Teddy Marines, who threw for 1,336 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. Until the team gets through scrimmages, it will be too early to make a decision, De-Foe said.RUNNING BACK >> The pride and joy of the Bermudian offense. Dull is coming off of a season in which he ran for 1,117 yards and 14 touchdowns. Shelton added 588 yards and 10 touchdowns. The staff likes to put the ball in

the hands of playmakers, DeFoe said, and these two want to make plays.RECEIVERS >> Senior Wyatt Gear-hart could be a sleeper pick for a breakout season. As a junior, Gearhart caught only four passes but is one of the team’s better ath-letes, DeFoe said. Derek Starner has had a great camp as well, showing off good speed and hands.OFFENSIVE LINE >> If healthy, it could be a strength of the team. DeFoe joked that he might be able to run behind those guys. The Ea-gles utilize a lot of angle blocking and misdirection.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> The linemen have looked solid to this point, and the coaching staff wants the team to pride itself on stopping the run. Good depth will allow the Eagles to rotate players and keep the linemen fresh.

LINEBACKERS >> DeFoe called the position a work in progress. SECONDARY >> The bulk of the sec-ondary returns this season. The coaches expect great things out of the group as a whole. Their ability to cover receivers helped lead to a plus-14 turnover ratio last year.

Special teamsSenior Connor Zahm will han-

dle the kicking duties.• • •

SAVE THE DATE >> A chance for re-venge against Littlestown comes Oct. 24 in front of the home crowd. The Bolts ended the Ea-gles’ 29-game regular-season win streak in the final seconds of last year’s matchup. Opening night at New Oxford also could be a good test to gauge how good this year’s team is. BOTTOM LINE >> Barring any inju-ries or major setbacks, Bermudian should be in the playoff hunt in October.

2014 SCHEDULE


Kinard had the luxury of throwing and running be-hind a big offensive line. Most of that size has grad-uated, although coach Eric Depew said he is confident in the leadership skills of his quarterback and receiver Qua’Shawn Grooms. The two have been teammates since they were 10-year-olds on a youth team coached by Hakeem’s father, Marion.

Way also will find himself protected by a smaller line this fall, but the quarter-backs’ similarities end there.

Way stands 6-foot-3 and plays in the YAIAA’s big-school division, filled with Class AAAA opponents. Kinard, at 5-10, guides the Irish through a competi-tive Division III as one of the area’s smallest schools with football.

They also came about their jobs in different ways.

Kinard always knew his opportunity would come. He bided his time as a freshman and sophomore behind James Dougherty, a left-handed gunslinger whom Depew liked for his risk-taking. The coach sees Kinard as a calculated stu-dent of the game, and those first two years became a chance to study.

At the same time, Way had to learn on the job.

Just two weeks into the 2012 season, Shawn Heinold received the kind of news that can shake a team’s foun-dation. His starting senior quarterback, Tavon Parker, decided to concentrate on basketball. In just three days, the Bearcats had a Week 3 date with Harrisburg.

He preferred not to throw a sophomore — one who just moved from Virginia — into his first game against such an imposing opponent. The Cougars went on to play for the district championship that year.

“I could tell by the body

language that he was ex-cited by the opportunity,” Heinold said. “Ever since then, he took it and learned from it.”

Way threw two intercep-tions in a 38-14 loss. The Bearcats finished their sea-son 3-7 after briefly con-tending with a 2-0 start to their division schedule.

“Everything was flying past my face,” Way said.

The game has since slowed down, and Way en-ters the final chapter of his high school career with former Harrisburg coach George Chaump as offen-sive coordinator. Chaump’s resume includes multiple stops as a Division I head coach in college. Way would like to see himself play-ing on that stage. He likes James Madison and holds

offers from Fordham and Holy Cross.

On the field he likes to throw deep, and Red Lion’s Shay pointed to a practical reason why: The defense must pick between playing up to stop the run or back to preventing a big pass.

“Because he’s too fast for your linebackers, you’ve got a safety essentially sitting and trying to spy this guy as he’s running around,” Shay said.

The coach admitted to worrying more about the run, but he also has an ex-perienced secondary to guard the pass. Others are not so fortunate, which is why they must decide what they fear most.

IN THE HUDDLE

By Teddy FeinbergGameTimePA.com

Two years ago Biglerville had a standout showing — a 9-3 over-all record, 7-2 mark in Division III and a 28-26 playoff win against Trinity for good measure.

Last season was an entirely different story. The majority of the 2012 team graduated, a massive rebuilding project en-sued and a 1-9 season followed suit.

Can last year’s experience lead to an improved team in the up-coming year? Head coach Alex Ramos certainly hopes so with 2014 on the horizon.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Ramos said this position is solidified after senior Mason Unger and junior Ben Hurda received snaps last season as first-year varsity play-ers.

Ramos said he hopes the quar-terback play will be comparable to 2012, when Tanner Cool was un-der center for the Canners.

“I think we’ll see them take a step forward,” Ramos said of his two signal callers.

“Things are starting to slow down for them now, and you can see it.”RUNNING BACK >> The Canners hope a pile of players can help fuel their ground attack. Ra-mos was reluctant to talk about specific playmakers, although he did say Scott Cooper is a proven player in the Biglerville of-fense. RECEIVERS >> Again, the Canners are hoping for strength in num-bers at the position. Gage McAu-liffe, Nick Bell, Jorden Trostel and Nate Newberry are all expected to contribute.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Ramos said without hesitation that this unit

will be the No. 1 key to the 2014 season — paramount to opening holes in the run game and pro-viding pass protection. At book-end tackles are fine athletes — Nate Mentzer and Victor Lopez. Senior Juan Martinez lines up at center, while guards Brandon Stoner, Dalton Cox and Zach Hut-zell provide depth.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Mentzer and Lopez will be the team’s cornerstones on the defensive front. LINEBACKERS >> Ramos likes the team’s speed at linebacker.SECONDARY >> Cooper will be the team’s backbone in the defensive backfield as well.

Special teamsTrostel returns as a senior and

is one of the area’s top kickers.• • •

SAVE THE DATE >> Regardless of records, the Canners’ con-test against Bermudian Springs

is always a big annual matchup. The rivals square off this year in their respective regular-season finales on Oct. 31.BOTTOM LINE >> Last year was a trying one for the Canners, who came crashing down to earth af-ter a wildly successful 2012.

Leading up to and throughout this year’s training camp, Ramos kept a low profile and didn’t di-vulge much about his team. He said he’d rather let the Canners’ play do the talking once the ball is officially kicked off on the new season.

“We want to redeem ourselves,” Ramos said. “And it’s no secret, our players know it and our coaching staff knows it, too. We were embarrassed last year.

“We’re working hard to get back to where we were two years ago and to even exceed that. We don’t want to make a big deal out of anything; we just want to go into the year and earn what we get.”

2014 SCHEDULE

By Steve NavaroliGameTimePA.com

Even a veteran coach can be caught off guard by his team, and it’s safe to say the 2013 Central York squad surprised longtime coach Brad Livingston.

Fresh off winning a share of the 2012 YAIAA Division I champion-ship, the Panthers went into last season with uncertainty at quar-terback and a major injury to Jay Stone, one of their expected key offensive weapons.

Yet Dylan Hose took over be-hind center and threw for 17 touchdowns, with another 14 rushing scores. At halfback, Breaun Randle ran for 1,290 yards and 12 touchdowns, and Central won the division title once again.

“Last year what I knew, a lot of that didn’t transpire,” Livings-ton said. “We lost Jay (Stone), but I didn’t have any idea Breaun was going to turn into the beast run-ning back that he was.”

The questions are simple: Who steps up this season? Can the Pan-thers three-peat?

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Junior Nik Strine (6-foot, 164 pounds) appears ready to fill the shoes of Hose, although Livingston added that sophomore Shannon Valenti (5-10, 162) has been solid in pre-season workouts and can com-pete for the job.RUNNING BACK >> While the re-placement for Randle is still to be determined, the blocker remains the same in senior fullback Pear-son Hinkle (5-7, 180), who is an integral part of the Panthers of-fense despite having only 19 car-ries in 2013.RECEIVERS >> Sure-handed tight end Robert Romey III (6-2, 194) is the leading returner, although

he had only nine receptions last season. Athletic senior Jeremiah Dadeboe (6-1, 168) will likely see the ball thrown his way quite a few times. OFFENSIVE LINE >> Guards Nate Stephens (5-11, 198) and Zane San-tos (5-10, 161) are returning start-ers. Livingston said he’s hopeful that returning letterwinners Nate Raffensberger (6-0, 176) and Josh Ferguson (6-0, 170) will help form a blocking wall for the speedy of-fense.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Hinkle is the only returning starter on the D-line, and the development of se-niors Erik Wynn (6-0, 270) and Dominic Merryman (6-0, 161) will be crucial against Division I’s physical offensive lines.LINEBACKERS >> The strongest part of Central’s defense will be an-chored by outside linebackers El-zir Stroman (5-10, 166), who had 42 tackles and three intercep-tions, and Dadeboe, who made 19 tackles. T.J. Craft (6-2, 210) had 15 stops off the Panthers’ bench last season.SECONDARY >> This unit will fea-ture all new starters in 2014. But as usual, Central is blessed with a lot of speed, which will help.

Special teams Always a solid area for the Pan-

thers, whose speed sets up dan-gerous kick return potential.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> The schedule opens with the annual battle against cross-division rival West York and closes with league rival William Penn. However, a Week 9 matchup at Dallastown might have the most postseason impli-cations.BOTTOM LINE >> Central will once again be athletic, and because of that, you can expect the new skill position players to develop quickly in Livingston’s system. However, the coach said he senses a lack of chemistry. If the Panthers de-velop that similar to the past two seasons, a three-peat is possible.

2014 SCHEDULE


A lot of things will be differ-ent when Dallastown takes the field this season. In fact, the playing surface itself is new as crews finished installing the syn-thetic grass in time for the opener against Lancaster Catholic.

That’s not the only new thing for Dallastown, as a fresh set of skill players will be in the lineup.

Gone are Andrew Henry, who threw for 1,444 yards with 13 touchdowns; Robert Catchings, who ran for 1,447 and 14 scores; and the sure-handed Malik Lewis, who hauled in 51 passes for 800 yards and nine TDs.

“Make no bones about it, Ma-lik Lewis, Andrew Henry and Rob Catchings were our offense last year,” coach Kevin Myers said. “Look at the numbers: they were about 90 percent of what we did.”

However, the Wildcats will bring back the largest line in the YAIAA, in terms of both numbers and size of the players. It’s been the area of strength for the team during Myers’ successful nine-year tenure.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Junior Cade Gold (5-foot-11, 148 pounds) completed last season’s only pass not thrown by Henry and headed into camp as the front-runner for the job. RUNNING BACK >> Senior Dez Jones (5-9, 175) had 49 carries for 231 yards with five touchdowns, but Myers said he can plug several players in to the position.RECEIVERS >> Seniors made 87-of-110 receptions last season, but the good news is lanky receiver Owen Ritter (6-4, 175) is back and primed to become a go-to target.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Large and in

charge, the line is no question Dallastown’s strength, starting with monstrous Zaire Willis (6-5, 355), Justin Tindull (6-3, 240), Tray Noye (6-2, 260), Kristoffer Phennicie (6-1, 200) and Jordan Burns (6-0, 205), just to name a few.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Phennicie made 52 tackles, including five sacks last season. Defensive end Da-moni Weaver, who had 5.5 sacks and 28 tackles, provides plenty of pressure on opposing quarter-backs.LINEBACKERS >> Sean Roberts (5-10, 160) burst on the scene and made 55 stops with two sacks in only eight games. Jones and Hayden Schimp (5-10, 160) are two more of several players who will see time at the po-sition.SECONDARY >> Quinones (5-10, 185) was a first-team all-league selec-tion a year ago after 134 tackles, six pass deflections, two intercep-tions and a fumble recovery. Com-ing off a solid sophomore season, Jake Jansen (5-9, 160) will be an important part of the secondary.

Special teamsSoccer player McKinley Cur-

ran debuted as a kicker last sea-son and didn’t disappoint. He was 36-of-39 on extra points and 9-of-11 on field goals, including a 43-yarder. He is a weapon for the Wildcats.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> It’s always easy to point to the final game of the regular season against rival Red Lion. With the improvement shown by the Lions, that game could also help determine the Di-vision I champions.BOTTOM LINE >> The offensive line is terrific. The returning defense is very good. The key for Dallas-town will be plugging the right people into the skill positions. If Myers can do this, and the of-fense takes care of the football, the Wildcats will be in the hunt for division supremacy.

2014 SCHEDULE


Delone Catholic, which tra-ditionally finishes near the top of Division III, suffered a down year in 2013, ending with a 4-6 re-cord. The injury bug bit, and the Squires missed the District 3 play-offs for the first time since 2006.

Whether the Squires can bounce back depends a lot on starting quarterback Jake Wiles’ knee.

The senior sustained a torn ACL while playing basketball in the offseason but, after counsel-ing with doctors and coaches, de-cided to play through it. Wiles will wear a brace and most likely be limited to certain offensive pack-ages, head coach Steve Wiles said.

By having to play through so many injuries last season, the coach was able to insert younger players in games, allowing them to gain valuable experience. Be-cause of that, this season’s roster will have evenly distributed ex-perience and at least one or two players at each position who are familiar with the system, Wiles said.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Compounding the offseason injury, Jake Wiles left the first day of practice early. He went down awkwardly and was nursing his injured right knee in obvious pain. “He has looked strong and has been go-ing through his rehab,” Wiles said of his son and starting quarter-back. “The potential to do more damage is there, so he’ll just have to make a decision.”

If he elects surgery or is un-able for the opener, the starting job would go to sophomore Brian Shermyer, who played two games behind center for an injured Wiles last season.

RUNNING BACK >> The Squires boast depth and speed in the backfield despite the graduation of leading rusher Matt Giuffreda. Senior Tyler Loucks, who Wiles said “loves hitting people,” will join senior Jake Kadis and junior Tavian Dorsey in the backfield.

“I think he’ll have an attacking style and really go after people,” Wiles said of Loucks.RECEIVERS >> “We’re still trying to figure out who those guys are go-ing to be,” Wiles said.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Wiles counts the line as a strong point on the ros-ter. Bryce Perkins, who was forced into action last season as a fresh-man, is expected to play a larger role on the line this season along-side senior Mike Rider and junior Chase Kint.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> The coaching staff is looking for another defen-sive tackle, but Perkins and Rider should anchor the line.LINEBACKERS >> Kadis will move to outside linebacker. He is a solid tackler and good in coverage, which will help against spread offenses, Wiles said.SECONDARY >> Shermyer and Loucks will play safety. Dorsey will be the top corner, and soph-omore Alec Maitland is expected to return from last season’s injury to round out the secondary.

Special teamsSenior Jay Strickland returns

at the kicker position. where he converted 22 out of 25 PATs last season.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> The Squires will face their two biggest rivals, Lit-tlestown and Bermudian Springs, on the road this season.

A Sept. 26 matchup at Lit-tlestown follows three consecu-tive home games.BOTTOM LINE >> If Shermyer can fill in, and if the running game is as quick and strong as the coach-ing staff believes it is, the Squires could compete at the top of the division.

2014 SCHEDULE


Eric Lam puts Dover’s 2013 YAIAA Division II title and dis-trict playoff appearance into per-spective.

“I always joke with the guys,” he said. “What you did for your wife or girlfriend last year means nothing.”

This year the Eagles still have plenty of experience to build on from last year’s 9-3 season, dom-inated by a power running game and defense. Expect more of the same.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Running back-turned-QB Logan Ambrose has graduated. Gone with him are his rollouts that could turn into first-down runs. However, Ambrose’s style led backup Tyler Blazosky (6-foot-1, 172 pounds) to plenty of repetitions at the position.

“You have to have people ready to go,” Lam said. “We made a con-certed effort to get him in the game, but obviously the way Lo-gan played we needed to give him a break. It was advantageous to give him a break.”

Lam said he could see a similar situation play out with Blazosky, now a junior, and senior Kenyon Hoopes (5-9, 150).RUNNING BACK >> The three-headed monster is back. Dover rushed for 3,847 yards last fall, paced by full-back Isaiah Green (1,190 yards), Durran Ledbetter (809) and Jake McLean (700). Green (5-11, 200 pounds) and McLean (5-8, 160) are seniors, while Ledbetter (5-8, 165) is a junior. Junior John Sterner (5-7, 150) also should see more time after he stepped in for Ledbetter during last year’s dis-trict opener vs. Milton Hershey.RECEIVERS >> Senior Malik Allen (6-2, 210) caught just five passes as

a junior last year, but two went for touchdowns, and he averaged 24 yards per catch. A superb blocker, he is joined by junior Derek Bren-eman (6-1, 180), who started at re-ceiver and can also play tight end.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Three start-ers return to this unit, led by All-YAIAA senior tackle Levi Murphy (6-1, 275). Senior Tyler Jacobson (6-1, 215) and junior Matt Farr (6-2, 220) are also back. Senior Neil Querry (6-0, 220) also split time and should see an increased role.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> The interior lost talent to graduation in Brian Lehman and Trey Flythe. On the edge, senior Shawn Orchard (6-1, 180) returns after earning more time on the field as last year pro-gressed.

“There are some kids who got some time,” Lam said. “It’s just now is their opportunity. We’ll see if they can do it.”LINEBACKERS >> While Cameron Beckman has graduated, the Ea-gles possess two forces in Allen on the edge and Green, who led the team in tackles (93), on the inside. Ledbetter and Breneman also could earn considerable roles here.SECONDARY >> Lam echoed that sentiment regarding McLean’s role in the secondary, where he’s joined by Sterner.

Special teamsThe Eagles graduated kicker

Brendan Warren but return Jacobson at punter. Junior Josh Bradley, a soccer player, likely will take over for Warren. Kick return-ers could be picked from the of-fensive backfield.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> Dover officially welcomes Gettysburg to the YAIAA in Week 4 for their Divi-sion II opener.BOTTOM LINE >> The Eagles had more rushing touchdowns (44) than completed passes (36) last year. Until teams can stop the run, expect that trend to con-tinue.

Dover >> Eagles

Running strong once more


Dover’s Jake McLean helped the Eagles thrive in 2013 thanks to their use of multiple backs out of the Eagles’ Wing-T offense. McLean rushed for 809 of Dover’s 3,847 total yards.

Big 2013 means little for Eagles, who return plenty of experience

The last time York and Adams county teams played a meaningful foot-ball game it was a bitter-cold November day at Her-sheypark Stadium.

One warming comfort for the YAIAA on that day came in the fact that two of its teams (Littlestown, York Catholic) had made it to the District 3 cham-pionship. A year earlier, in 2012, three made it to dis-trict finals. Before then, the league hadn’t had mul-tiple teams make it that far since 2002, when York Catholic and Delone Cath-olic advanced there.

York County has sent just two teams to the big-school Class AAAA dis-trict final since the PIAA expanded to four classifi-cations in 1985.

Dallastown came close to being the third be-fore its 33-17 loss at Cum-berland Valley last fall in the district semifinals in Mechanicsburg. Wild-cats coach Kevin Myers agreed that night it could be a crucial step for his program and, by ex- tension, perhaps the league.

“We got here. Are we go-ing to get back?” he said that night.

It’s a big question and goal for the now 23 YAIAA schools, so let’s examine what’s on the horizon for 2014:

1 Speaking of that number, 23, the addi-

tion of Gettysburg has fi-nally come to fruition. In football, it means realign-ment among the three di-visions.

The 10-team Division

III, which made for nine-game league schedules the last four years, is no more. Now those teams have more than just the Week 1 opener to fit in non-league opponents.

“It gives you some vari-ety and other teams you haven’t played before,” York Catholic coach Eric Depew said. “I think it helps you prepare for your division instead of one game and, bam, you’re in division play.”

York Suburban and Eastern York, both in AAA for football, moved up from Division III to Divi-sion II. New Oxford and Northeastern moved up to Division I to expand it to an eight-team division, which appeals to Dallas-town’s Myers.

“The last few years we had a divisional champ out of five games,” he said. “I like that there’s going to be eight teams in our divi-sion. I think it gives the di-vision title a little more va-lidity.”

Division II, however, will have an odd num-ber of teams. Gettys-burg makes it seven, forc-ing each of those schools to find a non-league op-ponent at different times during the season.

For example, defend-ing champion Dover will travel to Reading in Week 7. West York will host Pius X in Week 6, and so on.

“To me, it’s not a big deal going from divi-

sion to non-division,” said York Suburban coach Jer-emy Jones, whose Trojans travel to Ephrata in Week 5. “Your goal is to win ev-ery game every week. To me, it’s just another week of preparation.”

2 Nine of last year’s 22 YAIAA teams made

playoff appearances. That number actually has seen a slight and steady decline since 2009, when 12 teams made the postseason.

3 Central’s Brad Livings-ton earned career win

No. 200 last year at South

Western in Week 7. Ber-mudian Springs’ Jon De-Foe achieved win No. 100 in Week 4 against York County Tech.

The milestone watch should continue this fall. Littlestown coach Mike Lippy enters the season at 92-35.

4 Four coaches will seek their first career victo-

ries come Friday.Dave Kemmick takes

over Eastern York after spending last season as an assistant at Donegal. Pat-rick Weider was promoted from receivers and defen-

sive backs coach to the top job at Kennard-Dale. Meanwhile, J.C. Lewis takes over for Bill Kerr at Susquehannock.

Bill Reichart took over Hanover midway through last season for Mike Ket-terman.

5 A number of second-year coaches already

have momentum building toward this fall.

PAUL KUEHNEL — GAMETIMEPA.COM

Second-year coach Jeremy Jones took a rebuilding project at York Suburban last year and saw the Trojans finish 5-5. Suburban moves up to Division II this season, which isn’t a concern for Jones. “Your goal is to win every game every week,” he said. “To me, it’s just another week of preparation.”

IN THE HUDDLE

By Ryan DixonFor GameTimePA.com

It’s a time of change at East-ern York.

Not only are the Golden Knights moving up to Division II, but they will be under the guid-ance of first-year head coach Dave Kemmick.

“I don’t think it will have any effect,” Kemmick said about the division move. “Division III is a tough division, so (Division II) will be a couple of different teams to play.

“I wasn’t here for Division III, so for me it’s just a schedule.”

The Golden Knights, who were 5-5 overall last year, will start the season with familiar opponents in Columbia, York County Tech and Hanover.

“I’m just trying to get things to happen a little faster,” Kemmick said. “Just the basics. Guys mak-ing tackles and coming forward and filling holes a little quicker.”

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> The Golden Knights are switching from a multiple I set look to a variation of the Wing-T, and there is compe-tition at the signal caller position, with junior Ryan Kalke among the contenders.RUNNING BACK >> David Livels-berger, Lucas Barshinger and Jake Kessler will spearhead the Eastern rushing attack. Livels-berger rushed 125 times last sea-son for 934 yards and eight touch-downs.RECEIVERS >> Last year’s leading receiver Christian Buser grad-uated, so there will be room for someone to step up.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Garret Ishman, Lee Dice, Wyatt Smith and Scott Elliot return to anchor an offense that scored 237 points last season.

“We’re getting stronger. Our

line is pretty big and strong this year,” Ishman said.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Collectively, the defense will be inexperienced this season. Ishman returns to anchor the line.

The senior spoke about how crucial practice is in preparing for the season: “We have to con-dition a lot more. So, when we’re in the game, we’re not getting tired, and we can go 100 percent all the time.”LINEBACKERS >> Barshinger is back, and “discipline is going to be our biggest thing,” the senior said. The Golden Knights allowed 237 points last season.SECONDARY >> Kessler returns as the Golden Knights will have to make up for the graduated Justin Keller and Jake Wildasin.

Special teamsKeller and Thomas Taylor split

the place kicking duties last year,

and both have graduated, so the Knights will be searching for a new kicker this season.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> The first game of the season is against Susque-hanna River rival Columbia. Adding to the already fierce rivalry is the fact that Kemmick is a math teacher at Columbia. But will that game hold more weight than others on the sched-ule?

“I don’t think so. It’s just a short drive across the river,” Kemmick said.BOTTOM LINE >> Kemmick is fo-cusing on the basics as the team moves into Division II. After the first three games, the Golden Knights enter division play against West York, Dover and Gettysburg. Those three con-tests will be crucial in Eastern’s learning process, especially with a new quarterback, new offen-sive style and an inexperienced defense.

Eastern York >> Golden Knights

Knights get back to basics


Eastern York’s David Livelsberger (25) led the Golden Knights in rushing last season after sharing the load with Clayton Miller. Livelsberger is expected to be the feature back as a senior at Eastern.

debut a new video score-board. It’s one of two such commodities in York County, where Central York also will debut one.

“We felt it was the right time to do it,” Red Lion dis-trict marketing and com-munications manager Don Dimoff said this summer. “If we did anything else, we might look down the line and wish we had done it.”

Dimoff, who is known for coaching the girls’ bas-ketball team at Red Lion, compared the new score-boards to what Shippens-burg University uses at its football stadium.

Elsewhere, Dallastown is adding artificial turf. Ber-mudian Springs will add FieldTurf next summer.

7 Dallastown’s turf will debut Week 1 against

Lancaster Catholic. Other

opening night games to keep an eye on:

• Dover at Shippens-burg: Two playoff teams go head-to-head as the YAIAA Division II champs visit the Mid-Penn Colo-nial winners. This will be a new opponent for Dover, which opened last year against Hanover.

• Gettysburg at South Western: The Warriors visit their traditional ri-val but in the similar sense that teams like Central York and West York meet as interdivisional foes.

• York Catholic at Northeastern: These games have been close calls for both sides in past years. Last year, a long fumble return saved York Catholic with a 19-point fourth-quarter rally in a 25-20 win. In 2012, North-eastern scored last to post a 33-28 win. This one should be fun with York Catholic’s Hakeem Kinard and Northeastern’s Marcus Josey leading

their respective offenses.

8 It’s time for a little preseason prognosti-

cation. Let’s start with Di-vision I.

Central York enters as the incumbent, but grad-uated a senior class that held things together on both sides of the football.

“We had such a big se-nior class last year; 31 kids. It’s natural to assume wow there’s 31 guys walk-ing out the door,” coach Brad Livingston said. “The good news is we played a lot of kids and had return-ing starters in some way shape or form. It’s not like the cupboard is bare.”

A prime example was at quarterback, where Dylan Hose won All-YAIAA hon-ors but shared the position at times with Nik Strine, who enters his junior sea-son as a favorite to have the position to himself.

A team like Red Lion will not have that experi-ence at quarterback. The

new starter emerging from this offseason and sum-mer will replace two-year starter Blake Cahill. The defense should be strong and enough to entice an early preseason pick as the favorite.

William Penn, with plenty of experience back, could be a sleeper. The

Bearcats’ question will be depth.

9 Dover reclaimed Di-vision II last year and

should be a strong favorite to repeat. The Eagles have linemen back, a number of strong defensive players and their trio of running backs who made life mis-

erable for opponents.Their Week 9 visit to

West York will be worth the wait for both sides. The only question worth asking now is: will last season’s 44-13 win serve more to Dover’s confidence or the Bulldogs’ motivation?

10 Division III could be fun.

Littlestown lit up the scoreboards on offense and the opposition on de-fense last year. The Bolts will not be as proven en-tering this year, but York Catholic should have plenty of fireworks to steal the show.

However, there’s Bermu-dian Springs. Simple. Con-sistent.

An easy pick in August.We’ll see about October.

IN THE HUDDLE


Last year was a breakout sea-son for Fairfield football. At least when considering the team net-ted its first winning campaign in its 13-year existence and reached the PIAA playoffs.

But what can the Green Knights do for an encore?

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Mason Flick-inger returns as a three-year starter. Last season he threw for 1,027 yards and tossed 10 touch-downs (compared to five intercep-tions). On the ground, Flickinger added 357 yards and five scores.

Head coach Darwin Seiler said Flickinger has an innate under-standing of the offense and a will-ingness to throw the ball to any part of the field at any given time.RUNNING BACK >> Easily the biggest hole to fill will be in the backfield, where the graduated Nick Mort was a workhorse rusher a season ago (1,476 yards on 181 carries). Mike Quealy, who was second on the depth chart in 2013, will take over the starting reins this year.

Seiler said Fairfield ran the ball on 65 to 70 percent of its offen-sive snaps last year, although he would prefer to have a more bal-anced attack. He added Quealy has some shake and bake to his step and predicted the 5-foot-11, 160-pounder will be a factor in the passing game.RECEIVERS >> Seiler said junior tight end Antijuan Washington is ready to become a prime-time target. Seiler said Washington is a big player at the position (6-foot-3, 247 pounds), runs well and catches the ball effectively.OFFENSIVE LINE >> The Green Knights have to replace a large portion of this unit. The team is hopeful Conor Scherle (center/

tackle) can recover from a torn ACL suffered during basketball season, and also believes senior guard Ryan Hovis (313 pounds) is primed for a big year. They’re the lone returning starters.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Many newcom-ers here as well. Seiler said en-tering training camp that Tom Shultz is furthest along in the group and should contribute at defensive end.LINEBACKERS >> Although the de-fensive front seven has no return-ing starers, the team could pack a punch at linebacker.

Washington and Brandon Sel-man both played last season and are slotted at MLB. On the out-side, the team is hopeful former cornerback Brandon Hummel can make the transition. SECONDARY >> Clearly the most experienced unit of the defense. Flickinger and Quealy start at safety, while Alex Irwin returns after starting a handful of games

at cornerback in 2013. The team also welcomes Matt Petrie, who started last year at Waynesboro. Not to be outdone is Aaron Moore, a junior who’s expected to see time at cornerback and safety.

Special teamsFlickinger will contribute

as a punter, while Hummel is the team’s primary placekicker. Quealy will play a role in the re-turn game.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> Fairfield’s 2013 win against Delone Catholic was a benchmark victory in the Green Knights’ marked improvement. Can the 2014 rematch have a simi-lar outcome? The two teams meet Oct. 17.BOTTOM LINE >> Seiler said his club should match or surpass last sea-son’s successful showing.

“Fair and realistic expectations in my mind are to reach where we were last year,” he said. “And with a break or two, we can have a bet-ter record, honestly.”

Fairfield >> Green Knights

Fairfield ready for encore


Fairfield’s Michael Quealy, center, will be a featured running back for the Green Knights, who are looking to improve on last season’s winning record — the first in the program’s history.

IN THE HUDDLE

By Mike RubinGameTimePA.com

Coming off its best season since 2010, Gettysburg was a few plays away from winning the Mid-Penn Colonial Division. A 19-13 loss to Shippensburg left the Warriors just short of their goal, but earned them a trip to the District 3 Class AAA playoffs. After a first-round loss to Cocalico, the Warriors’ sea-son ended with a 6-5 record.

While much of the 2013 roster returns, 2014 still brings a differ-ent look to Gettysburg. The War-riors have left the Mid-Penn Con-ference and will play their first year as members of the YAIAA. They will break in a renovated stadium and new synthetic turf field in Week 2 against New Ox-ford.

Still, after a successful 2013 campaign, and most of the roster back, the expectations and excite-ment level are high.

“We have basically everyone back skill-wise,” Heiser said. “We lose our quarterback and linebacker, but everyone is back from last season. Trying to re-place those guys is hard, but at the same time it rejuvenates some guys and gives them an opportu-nity to step on the field.”

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> The Warriors have to replace do-it-all quarter-back Jesse Stouch, who finished last season with 1,063 passing yards and 13 touchdowns. He also rushed for a team-high 754 yards and 12 touchdowns. But the well is not dry at the position for Heiser, as seniors Jake Myers and Dalton Lyons are battling for the starting spot. RUNNING BACK >> Gettysburg re-turns the entire stable from last year at the running back and fullback positions. Lane Sher-

man (627 yards, 4 TDs) and Ty-ler Lampe (425, 4) both return at running back, and Mitchell Hoff-man and Wade Laudeman return at fullback.RECEIVERS >> Kobe Wansel returns to the Warriors after leading his team in 2013 with 22 receptions for 498 yards. Gettysburg’s sec-ond-leading pass catcher was the running back Lampe, who led the team in receiving touchdowns with six.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Gone is first-team All-Mid Penn lineman Brent Crushong, but Gettysburg does have Giovanni Alvarado back to spearhead a unit that Heiser lauds for its depth.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Alvarado an-chors this unit, as well. The War-riors also return senior Mitch Hoffman, and they hope senior Jordan Turner will step up for the unit. LINEBACKERS >> Seniors Nate

Sharrah and Laudeman anchor the linebacking corps.

“The linebackers, especially the outside guys, read pretty good,” Heiser said. “Actually, right now, I think we are at a comfort level where we have four guys who could start at the outside backer for us.”SECONDARY >> Seniors Sherman and Lampe lead an experienced unit that also includes Dalton Ly-ons at safety.

Special teamsMichael Heeschen leads the

special teams unit and handles all the kicking duties. Sherman is back as the team’s returner.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> Gettysburg opens its new stadium Sept. 5 against New Oxford. BOTTOM LINE >> The Warriors have the pieces to have a successful 2014 season. The wild card will be how they match up against YAIAA Division II competition.

IN THE HUDDLE


Hanover head coach Bill Reich-art knows what success at his alma mater tastes like, and he is determined to bring the Night-hawks back to form.

A member of Hanover’s 1985 District 3 championship football team, Reichart served as interim coach for the Nighthawks’ last five games in 2013. His interim tag was removed in early 2014.

The Hawks went 1-9 last year, but they return several key play-ers who gained valuable experi-ence.

“You cannot change everything immediately,” Reichart said. “My intention and sincere hopes this year are the further we get into the process, we will naturally get better.”

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> The most likely candidate to replace four-year starter Brady Goodfellow is ju-nior Kyle Krout, who brings back the most experience. Krout started several games last season for the Nighthawks and will re-ceive stiff competition from fel-low junior Bill Morris, who brings a high level of athleticism to the position.RUNNING BACK >> The replacement for Trace Russ is still to be deter-mined, but Reichart said that’s not because of a lack of depth. The Nighthawks plan to use a running back by committee. Junior Jordan Laughman appears to be slightly ahead of fellow juniors Colten Eh-rhart and Devon Bell. RECEIVERS >> Senior Dylan Krieger returns as the team’s leading re-ceiver. At 6-foot-4, Krieger stands tall above opposing cornerbacks and hopes to see the ball thrown his way quite often.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Junior Tavin

Zinn and senior Devin Faisal will anchor the two tackle spots. Se-nior Garrett Reichart and Josh McClintock appear primed to fill the guard positions. Junior center Bailey Kenworthy will round out the offensive line.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Zinn will start on both the offensive and defen-sive lines and is the only return-ing starter on the defensive unit. Reichart said he has high expecta-tions for Zinn. Junior Dustin Rut-ter and Kenworthy will play key roles on the line.LINEBACKERS >> Middle line-backer Garrett Reichart will anchor the unit and is the only starter returning. McClintock and Ehrhart will play outside linebacker, and Bill Morris will compete for time.SECONDARY >> Krieger poses a huge advantage for the Night-hawks at defensive back. He will be joined by Laughman, Nick Sey-mour and Chase Etzler.

Special teamsKrieger appears primed to

handle the punting duties. No one has emerged in the kicking game, so Reichart might look to add a potential soccer player to the mix.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> Oct. 31 at Delone Catholic. The Nighthawks’ regu-lar-season finale is against rival Delone Catholic. The Squires de-feated Hanover, 46-14, and Ha-nover would like nothing more than to return the favor. BOTTOM LINE >> Reichart takes over a program that is desperate for consistency. With his roots planted firmly in Hanover, Reich-art is here for the long haul. He said he believes 2014 can be the beginning of a new era of Ha-nover football. Several key players will have to step up, and there will need to be some surprise perform-ers. How quickly the team can buy into the program will go a long way into determining the fate of its season.

IN THE HUDDLE


Shortly after he was hired, first-year Kennard-Dale coach Patrick Weider laid out some goals.

He wanted to align the youth program with the varsity pro-gram, and he wanted to change the mindset of his team.

“We’ve never really had our youth program aligned, and it is now aligned,” Weider said. “They are going to be running our sys-tem, and we are incorporating a lot of stuff together.”

And for a varsity team that has won only one game in the past two years, changing that losing mentality into a winning one will start in the head.

“Our kids have to believe,” Wei-der said. “Nothing will change until we have some success. Our kids, initially when bad things happen, they duck their heads and get down. By the end of team camp, we got better and better with it.”

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Kyle Amrhein returns for his third year under center. The senior threw for 541 yards last season and seven touch-downs.

“I’m excited to throw the ball. It’s all about confidence,” Am-rhein said. “The line will be the key to our offense.”RUNNING BACK >> Mike Young grad-uated and took his 1,163 yards and eight touchdowns from a season ago with him. Kendall Wales and Josh Eaton racked up a combined 205 yards last season and will be the go-to tandem this year.RECEIVERS >> Junior Austin Jen-kins led the Rams with 235 re-ceiving yards last season. “We have the ability to throw the ball,” Weider said. Versatile junior Jus-tin Fitchett returns as well. Fitch-

ett racked up 282 rushing yards, 172 receiving yards and even man-aged 89 yards throwing.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Coleman Hamil-ton and Dan Creter return to once again open the holes up front, but the Rams need to replace three lineman from last season.

Defense DEFENSIVE LINE >> Hamilton, who averaged more than three tack-les a game, returns to anchor the line. The Rams defense surren-dered 350 points last season. “It’s a double-edged sword. I think our offense didn’t always put our de-fense in the best spot,” Weider said. “It’s a balancing act. Defen-sively, it’s simple: We have to get off blocks and make tackles. We need to be more physical and be able to match up better.”LINEBACKERS >> Eaton picked off two passes last season and aver-aged more than three tackles a game.SECONDARY >> Jenkins intercepted two passes and averaged more

than four tackles a game last sea-son.

Special teamsEaton gained 239 yards on 15

kickoff returns last season. Four different K-D players punted last season, including Amrhein and Fitchett.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> For all the Rams’ home games. A year after playing three Friday night home games, the Rams will have all five of their home contests under porta-ble lights this season.BOTTOM LINE >> The Rams were minus-7 in the turnover ratio last season. They lost 13 fumbles and threw 14 interceptions. Those numbers all need to get better, and they should with skill play-ers returning. Weider alluded to a different vibe around the pro-gram, and he said he’s confi-dent his team will say, “Enough is enough. We have to win some games here. It’s got to start with one win and go from there.”

As player safety con-tinues to be a hot topic among professional, colle-giate and high school ath-letics, new rules have been adapted to ensure athletes are safe during play. Local high school sports are no different.

YAIAA football will get its first look at a few new rule changes implemented last winter by the National Federation of State High School Associations.

Certain hits that are deemed “targeting” by ref-erees will be penalized, and

kickoff formations will be limited. Both rules are de-signed to limit big hits, in-juries and collisions.

The NFHS says targeting “is an act of taking aim and initiating contact to an op-ponent above the shoulders with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoul-ders.”

“Defenseless” players are now defined as players who, “because of his physical po-sition and focus of concen-tration, is especially vulner-able to injury.”

Additional rules will re-quire at least four mem-bers of a kicking team to line up on each side of

the kicker. Also, only the kicker can line up more than 5 yards behind the kicking line — a move to limit run-ups, said South Western head coach Da-mian Poalucci.

Both kickoff changes should prevent teams from loading up one side of the field to overwhelm the return team and land a big hit, and possibly a concussion, on the returner.

The YAIAA also lim-ited full contact in prac-tices during the first week as mandated by the PIAA, according to George Shue, YAIAA executive director.

Concussion talk and new rules are nothing new so adapting to these rules shouldn’t be a challenge.

Most coaching staffs have been aware of the danger that head injuries present and have been teaching to it for years, said Jon DeFoe, Bermudian Springs head coach.

“It’s a tough game with collisions, and you can’t play tentative,” DeFoe said. “But we teach them to be aware and not use their head when tackling.”

Poalucci and DeFoe both agreed that helmet design has progressed a lot in re-cent years, and local teams have top-of-the-line hel-mets, designed specifically for safety. An increase in awareness and protocol has also helped limit inju-ries, DeFoe said.

“Our doctors and train-ers tell the kids to be open and honest about any inju-

ries they sustain,” DeFoe said.

Each player is also re-quired to go through Im-PACT testing before the season starts. It sets a base-line and gives doctors some-thing to compare to when they test a player for a con-cussion later in the season.

Every coach on the staff goes through train-ing classes and has to be certified each season,

Poalucci said.“If we see something,

we’re right there, asking him questions and check-ing it out,” said Poalucci. “We stress to our coaches, ‘How would you want your son to get treated?’”

South Western play-ers sustained two or three concussions last season — a fairly low number, Poa- lucci said, a credit to in-creased awareness and pro-tocol.

“We would never put a kid back in the game if he has a headache or shows signs of a concussion,” Poalucci said. “It’s sim- ply not worth getting hurt.”

IN THE HUDDLE


Rain on the first day of prac-tice couldn’t dampen the spirit in Thunderbolt Country.

Players sprinted from drill to drill, screaming in the rain as mu-sic blared from the loudspeakers.

The Bolts have every reason to be excited following a 12-1 season in which the team made a run to the District 3 Class AA champi-onship game.

But after 17 seniors graduated from that playoff team, head coach Mike Lippy will have his hands full evaluating talent and filling positions.

“You don’t go that far and come back with the same group of kids unless you’re extremely fortu-nate,” Lippy said. “These new guys are going to have to carve out their own little piece of his-tory. They’ve been working hard, but they have a long way to go.”

Several skill positions were up for grabs when practice started in Littlestown, Lippy said.

“We don’t want to change ex-pectations just because we’ve lost kids,” Lippy said. “We want our kids to consider it a challenge, and that’s what it is.”

Still, Lippy admitted his team is inexperienced at a few offensive skill positions, which could force the Bolts to be more run-oriented.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> The Bolts will need to replace Trevor Hildeb-rand, who threw for 1,665 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. An open competition in camp could decide who starts Week 1 against Boiling Springs. Senior Jarrett Brittain and junior Cody Boyd were the favorites early in camp, Lippy said.

“It’s all going to be based on how well these guys can develop

over the next few days and weeks,” Lippy said. RUNNING BACK >> Zach Brown and Lucas Reynolds likely will be tasked with replacing 1,300-yard running back Dustin DeGroft. Reynolds ran for 755 yards on 110 carries last season.

“We really have six to eight kids who could run it for us,” Lippy said. “But Brown and Reynolds are the two veterans.”RECEIVERS >> Senior Dalton Brit-tain could be catching passes from his brother, Jarrett. One surprise is Lane Nye, a big, tall receiver who Lippy said hasn’t played football the last few years but has performed very well in camp.OFFENSIVE LINE >> The line should be the offense’s strong point: Se-nior Devyn Houck and junior Ryan Dickensheets are expected to anchor the line.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> The coaching staff is comfortable with the play-

ers in the trenches. Lippy said he likes the experience and poise they’ve shown so far.LINEBACKERS >> Filling four spots at linebacker was one of Lippy’s keys for the preseason. Reyn-olds will line up at one outside position, but Lippy said three others needed to separate themselves from the rest of the group.SECONDARY >> The Bolts finished with a plus-11 turnover ratio last season, largely thanks to the play of the secondary.

Special teams The Bolts will be looking for

a replacement at the kicker po-sition to fill in for Jeff Garman, who graduated.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> A rematch of last year’s thriller against Bermudian Springs looms large Oct. 24.BOTTOM LINE >> The Bolts will need a big year from Reynolds, but a re-turn to the playoffs doesn’t seem too far-fetched.

IN THE HUDDLE


New Oxford was a good foot-ball team a season ago — a 6-5 club and a playoff outfit as well.

But this year the Colonials must replace some key person-nel and move up a division: While New Oxford competed in Division II last year, the program now moves to the Division I ranks. Such will pro-vide the team with a unique set of challenges — primarily in tackling a more challenging schedule.

“Truthfully, it’s not something we can control,” head coach Jason Thurston said. “We are aware it’ll be a challenge. Our kids have to step it up this year, and they re-ally did. This was the best offsea-son participation I’ve seen from a team in my 17 years coaching football. They really answered the call.”

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> The first order of business will be replacing quar-terback Anthony Lippy. Thurston said two players — senior Jordan Gardner and junior Corban Czap — were battling it out in train-ing camp.

According to Thurston, Gard-ner (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) is a classic pocket passer, while Czap is an athletic player who can make things happen with his feet.

Thurston added he’d like to avoid a two-quarterback attack.RUNNING BACK >> Although stand-out back Wesley Beans gradu-ated, Thurston said he still likes his contingent of returnees: full-back Hunter Ringrose (a straight-ahead runner and team cap- tain); Daulton Snyder (fast and

shifty); and Josh Shultz (big and agile).RECEIVERS >> If Gardner doesn’t win the quarterback competition, Thurston said he’ll fit in well at wide receiver. Joining him on the outside would be senior Cameron Gay and junior Bret Savaleski.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Three senior starters are back — Jake Rabine (center), Max Lippy (guard) and Quinton Rebert (guard). Another senior, Caleb Muller, has experi-ence playing center, guard and tackle.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> The team ex-pects seniors on the offensive front to take snaps in the defen-sive trenches as well. Also, keep an eye on junior defensive end Joey Hoffman.LINEBACKERS >> Thurston likes his linebacking corps. Rabine, the of-fensive center, is also the team’s MLB. The head coach praised the instincts of Shultz and Elijah My-ers.

SECONDARY >> The Colonials will play with five defensive backs, in part to get better team speed against perimeter-oriented rush-ing attacks, and in part to coun-ter spread offenses populating Di-vision I football.

Keegan Romanoff (cornerback), Trevon Brown (cornerback), Gard-ner (free safety), Kevin Moser (safety) and Ringrose (safety) all had good camps.

Special teamsSenior kicker Trey Parrish is

a player the Colonials can count on. Watch him punt as well in 2014.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> The Colonials will travel to nearby rival Get-tysburg on Sept. 5. It will be the Warriors’ home opener on their brand-new turf field. Expect a big crowd.BOTTOM LINE >> This team takes a step forward into Division I. Will it lead to a step back in the win-loss column?

IN THE HUDDLE


For Northeastern and head coach Jon Scepanski, last year couldn’t have started off in a more heartbreaking manner.

The Bobcats dropped their first three games by a total of seven points.

“We didn’t know how to win. We didn’t know how to finish a game,” Scepanski said. “This year, the expectations are higher.

“Last year, we started a hand-ful of players that were experi-encing high school football for the first time. We took our bumps and bruises. The benefit is that we basically have the same guys back this year.”

The Bobcats jump to YAIAA Division I this year.

“You can look at it two ways. You can be intimidated or you can face it. That’s where we are and we’re going to play football here. You cant get away from it,” Scep-anski said. “We’ve got to stay com-petitive and win the games we have a chance to win.”

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Marcus Josey returns under center. The ju-nior threw for 1,309 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. He also rushed for 309 yards and scored two touchdowns.RUNNING BACK >> Chris Whack rushed for 394 yards and scored two touchdowns. Kody Reeser totaled 174 yards and scored a touchdown.

“Last year, we got in a posi-tion that we struggled to run the ball, and that’s a pet peeve of mine. That’s our number one goal, to run the football,” Scep-anski said.RECEIVERS >> David Ankney caught 15 passes for 297 yards and scored four touchdowns. Scepanski said

Jordan Zirkle is a “new addition that has done good things.” OFFENSIVE LINE >> The line, along with the skill position players, will have to learn a new offense this season as the Bobcats switch from a two-back pistol set to a spread Wing-T look. They’ll try to score more than last year’s 162 points.

“When I was at West Chester, we ran a version of the spread Wing-T, and it was something that when I got here, I wanted to prog-ress into. We started to adapt to it at the end of last season,” Sce-panski said.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Peyton Wol-gamuth returns after he recorded 31 tackles last year.LINEBACKERS >> Gary Gobernick and Reeser will anchor the mid-dle of the defense. Gobernick collected 20 tackles, while Re-eser led the team with 96. The

Bobcats will transition to a 3-5 and 3-4 scheme for defense this year.SECONDARY >> Houston Hoffman finished with 37 tackles last year. Zack Williams and John Maher also return for the Bobcats.

Special teamsEthan Qualters handled the

bulk of the Bobcats’ kicking du-ties last season, but he gradu-ated in June. Ankney registered five kickoffs last year. Last season as a freshman, Michael Cooper racked up 304 yards on 21 kick-off returns.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> The Bobcats make their YAIAA Division I de-but Sept. 19 at home against Cen-tral York.BOTTOM LINE >> The Bobcats re-turn quite a bit on both sides of the ball, and the experience should help with the transition to Division I.

Garrett Chestnut will look to improve on his solid sophomore season and re-turns three of his top pass catchers.

EAST PENNSBOROHead coach: Todd Stuter2013 record: 7-3Key losses: Josh Stam-baugh, Garrett StuterKey returners: N/AOutlook: The Panthers are a newcomer to the Colonial Division after a successful run in the Capital. But they will be hard pressed to re-place Josh Stambaugh and Garrett Stuter. Stambaugh threw for more than 1,300 yards, while Stuter rushed for more than 1,250 yards.

JAMES BUCHANANHead coach: Andy Stoner2013 record: 4-6Key losses: Brady Horn-baker, Hunter Brown.Key returners: Shamar Pates, Dillon Sanders, Blake Egolf.Outlook: After winning just two games from 2009-2011,

the Rockets had back-to-back four-win campaigns. That won’t come easy for them this year as they will have to replace a talented backfield duo in Brady Hornbaker and Hunter Brown. Quarterback Dillon Sanders and backfield mate Shamar Pates will look to increase their production.

WAYNESBOROHead coach: Brennan Marion2013 record: 0-10Key losses: N/AKey returners: Justin Marion, Conner Fetterhoff.Outlook: It can’t any worse than 0-10. First-year coach Brennan Marion looks to install a new offensive sys-tem with Conner Fetterhoff and Justin Marion lead-ing the troops from under center and in the backfield, respectively.

will need to replace a talented offensive duo of William Burt and Dylan Herb if they wish to repeat last year’s 7-0 run to the Colonial Division crown. Victor Fermin will be expected to carry that load with Tim Hart creat-ing some holes. Wade Mills and Ryan Ingram should have increased roles in the

passing game as well. On the defensive side of the ball, Michael McCleary and Nadir Jones will be the anchors.

The defense should be stout with the linebacker trio of Bailey Parker, Tony Dunigan and Matt Oberholzer. Two-way standouts, Bobby Rider, Jared Starliper and Brae Peck, will be anchors in the Blue Devils’ trenches.

IN THE HUDDLE

By Brett KeenerFor GameTimePA.com

Northern York carried a unique distinction last season. While it’s nice to be one of a kind, the Po-lar Bears would prefer to avoid a repeat of this scenario:

Northern went 3-7 but actually outscored its opponents, a statis-tical quirk made possible by the fact that the Polar Bears lost five games by seven points or fewer. Second-year head coach Garrett Mowery said the answer to win-ning the close ones is simple: run the ball.

“There were a lot of situa-tions in third and short, fourth and short, where we couldn’t get one or two yards on the ground when we needed to,” Mowery said. “We’ve really emphasized the run-ning game in the offseason.”

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> The Polar Bears have a camp battle going to de-termine their starting signal caller, with junior Justin Mar-kle (who had 71 passing at-tempts last season) and sopho-more Curtis Robison each tak-ing snaps. They were in a dead heat throughout offseason activ-ities and camps.RUNNING BACK >> Senior tail-back Sam Geiser, a second-team Mid-Penn Colonial Division all-star, returns after gaining more than 600 yards last season. Ju-niors Robert Shelly (moving in from slot receiver/tight end) and Mike Kearney could also get car-ries.RECEIVERS >> The Polar Bears have plenty of bodies available at the wideout slots, with big junior Isa-iah Horning and Kearney figuring to see plenty of snaps. A number of other players are also vying for spots in the rotation.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Northern has

returning bookends in tackles Ty-ler Craig and Austin Miller. Senior Hayden Miller returns at guard, while the other interior spots are less settled, with a sizable group of underclassmen in the running.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> A number of players have seen varsity snaps, although not necessarily as start-ers. Hayden Miller is the lone re-turning starter, but Owen Blas-chak, Austin Miller, and Craig give the Polar Bears more options up front.LINEBACKERS >> Shelly, a starter last season at defensive end, makes the move to middle line-backer in the Polar Bears’ new 4-3 alignment. Described by Mow-ery as a “throwback,” he’ll need to provide stability to a group ex-pected to be composed of new starters.SECONDARY >> Another group that will be picking up experience as it goes. Juniors Ray Avila and An-drew Swaisgood will man the cor-

ners, while Kearney, Robison and Jake Cromer should see time at the safety spots in the new-look secondary.

Special teamsMowery said Northern has

a weapon in sophomore kicker Aidan Alves, a returning starter. Kearney and Geiser will likely be handling return duties.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> No current Northern player has beaten back-yard rival Mechanicsburg — the teams’ matchup last season was one of those aforementioned close losses — and the Polar Bears would love to snap their three-game series losing streak when they travel to Frederick Field on Sept. 12.BOTTOM LINE >> Northern has only 10 seniors on this year’s roster, but the Polar Bears proved last year — when they had just two returning starters — that they could over-come inexperience and be com-petitive.

IN THE HUDDLE


Red Land’s recent football identity, at least on offense, has been clear.

The Patriots used any means possible to get the ball in the hands of John Ford, a plan that looked pretty sound when the tailback racked up more than 3,700 career rushing yards. But with Ford now at Shippensburg University, the Patriots are retool-ing to open things up a bit more in the Mid-Penn Keystone.

“We’re certainly going to be a bit more spread out than we’ve been in the past,” head coach Chad Weaver said. “There will be a lot more one-back sets. We’re going to try to spread teams out, but we’ll still run the ball. We have some kids up front who can move people around.”

The earth movers are a require-ment in the Keystone, which pro-duced a pair of District 3 champi-ons last season. The Patriots’ task is holding up through the regu-lar-season grind: Red Land was denied a playoff spot last season after closing the year with back-to-back three-point losses to close the year.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> The Patriots are set at quarterback, where senior Garrett Scott returns with a sea-son and a half of varsity starts un-der his belt. He completed nearly 60 percent of his throws last year, racking up more than 700 yards passing.RUNNING BACK >> Athletic senior Phil Overton, formerly a starter at receiver, will move into the fea-ture back spot; touted sophomore Justin Johnson should also see significant carries. Derek Cline is at the front of a pack of full-back hopefuls.

RECEIVERS >> Kyle Mowrey is a re-turning starter and will man one wideout spot, while a group of un-derclassmen is vying for the other openings. Senior Tyler Hodges will be at tight end.OFFENSIVE LINE >> This area is a source of optimism, as Red Land has three returnees on the line, all seniors: Zach Rollman (a two-year starter), Drew Speicher and Bran-don Seitz. The trio started every game last season.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Rollman, a re-turnee at defensive end, provides a building block, but otherwise this is the Patriots’ area of great-est concern. Speicher will also be in the mix. Underclassmen will play a big role in this unit.LINEBACKERS >> Red Land will make the transition to a 4-3 this season, and it has a solid line-backing corps to build things around. Hodges, Cline and Jer-emy Fisher all bring varsity ex-perience to the position.

SECONDARY >> Overton, a two-year starter at corner, will move to strong safety in the new de-fensive alignment. Mowery also brings experience to one corner spot, with the other two second-ary slots will be determined in camp.

Special teamsFisher returns to handle kick-

ing and punting duties. Ford was a Mid-Penn all-star as kick re-turner, and Overton and John-son will lead the group seeking to replace that production.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> Not that Red Land and Cedar Cliff really needed to add anything to their rivalry, but they got it: The teams now meet in Week 10, on Hallow-een no less. Should be a wild time at West Shore Stadium.BOTTOM LINE >> There are athletes and experience at nearly every spot in the lineup.

On offense, Kenny Holloway lines up in the backfield. Change sides and, all of a sudden, he’s in the trenches with the defensive linemen.

Some opponents looked at it as an oddity last season.

“It’s like a mind game for the offensive linemen,” Lions tackle Greg Thibault said. “He’s so fast, they can’t block him.”

This year, Lions coach Jesse Shay said he doesn’t think Hol-loway will have to pull that much double duty. Depth helps, and it could turn Red Lion into a con-tender after a 4-6 record last year.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> A three-way bat-tle entered August camp with ju-niors Dalton Grove (6 feet, 160 pounds) and Chris Carr (6-0, 160), plus sophomore Sam Emig. Two-year starter Blake Cahill’s gradu-ation opened the vacancy.RUNNING BACK >> Seniors Hollo-way (5-7, 205) and Adrian Jack-son (6-0, 190) provide a one-two punch and are supplemented by fullback Dan Waldrup (5-7, 190), also a senior.RECEIVERS >> The Lions have po-tential for a run-first offense, which is amplified by the loss of their top four receivers. Shay said his coaches estimated they lost 89 percent of last season’s of-fense. New targets include Kend-rick Gillespie-Boyd (5-11, 170, jr.), Cole Snyder (5-9, 135, jr.), Chris-tian Castle (6-2, 170, sr.), who’s coming back from a broken arm suffered during the first JV game last year.OFFENSIVE LINE >> With Sam Lowe (5-10, 225) at center, Thibault (6-3, 285) at guard and sophomore Nick Argento (6-2, 265) at left tackle, the Lions have three re-

turning starters. Sophomore Ste-phen Tierney and junior Nick Mankin (6-1, 190) are among po-tential full-time newcomers to join them.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> All four start-ers return, including Lowe and Patrick Stafford (5-10, 180, jr.) on the ends.

“I feel really good about our de-fensive line this year,” Lowe said.

Holloway and Thibault return on the interior with Argento, but Shay added, “I’m not sure I’m wild about my tailback taking a lot of defensive snaps.”LINEBACKERS >> Five players could potentially rotate in three spots, including Jackson, Raquan Mitch-ell (5-11, 170, jr.), Waldrup, Stone Hill (6-0, 185, jr.) and Joe Dashler (6-0, 185, sr.).SECONDARY >> Both corners re-turn in Nate Orji (5-11, 165, sr.) and Derek Ross (5-7, 150, sr.), plus safeties Gillespie-Boyd and Alex Keough (5-11, 165, sr.).

Special teamsSenior Quincy Palmer (5-11,

165) will again return kicks and punts. Nate Olsen (6-1, 185) can handle kicks, but the Lions will audition for a new punter. Cahill handled those.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> Dallastown comes to Red Lion Week 10 for their backyard rivalry on Hallow-een night.BOTTOM LINE >> Shay said, as a de-fensive-minded coach, this year’s team fits his ideal attributes. The run game is proven with Hollo-way behind an experienced line. The defense is deep and talented.

“This has the potential to be much more of a team I want us to be,” Shay said. “I sat down last year and said, ‘I’m an I (forma-tion) guy, I’m a defense-first guy. What happened? We’re running spread, running our quarterback and giving up a lot of points.’

“If I could put my identity on a team completely, this has got the potential to be that team.”

Red Lion >> Lions

Can Lions restore the roar?


Red Lion’s Kenny Holloway split time between running back and the defensive line last season, but coach Jesse Shay said depth on defense means Holloway won’t have to pull as much double duty this season.

Hopes are high with a deep defense and proven run game

IN THE HUDDLE


South Western went 3-7 in 2013, but the Mustangs might have been better than their re-cord indicated.

Mustangs star running back and career rushing record-holder Dillon Thomas missed five games because of a leg injury. And in all, 18 players were hurt, three with season-ending injuries.

After a season-opening win against Gettysburg, the Mustangs dropped back-to-back games by three points apiece and then suf-fered a heartbreaking overtime loss to New Oxford.

But head coach Damian Poalucci has put last season behind him and sees the potential for 2014.

“Everything needed to be fixed,” Poalucci said. “The team-work, group work, we had to fix it all. This group pushed themselves in the spring.”

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Junior Brock Gei-man brings back the most expe-rience. He appeared in 10 games and was 7-for-13 for 156 yards and a TD. Ryan Krebs is also fighting for the starting spot. The senior has a strong arm and good feet.RUNNING BACK >> Thomas has graduated, but his injury last sea-son gave others some experience. Junior Robby Harbison and se-nior Jonas Walter both started at times last year. Junior Tyler Ful-more was a guard in 2013 and is making the transition to the back-field.RECEIVERS >> The Mustangs return three starters: junior Noah Staub, senior Hunter Palmer and senior Brady Thayer. Staub (6-foot-3) fin-ished 2013 with 14 receptions for 251 yards and four touchdowns. Palmer finished last year with

seven receptions for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Thayer had 10 receptions for 228 yards and two touchdowns.OFFENSIVE LINE >> The line re-turns three starters from last year’s team. Senior Matt Helwig returns as one of the team’s emo-tional leaders and will start at tackle. Junior Skylar Bowman and senior Tyler Jachelski both return at guard.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Helwig returns to the line at tackle with fellow senior Gus Landis. Junior Corbin Byers will see time at defensive end. Sophomore Seth Janney will be asked to play a big role this year. LINEBACKERS >> Bowman is mak-ing the switch from defensive line to linebacker. Jachelski started seven games for the Mustangs and will return as part of the line-backing corps. Junior Mike Farace also will be in the mix after com-ing back from a shoulder injury. SECONDARY >> Palmer returns at

defensive back, and Thayer is looking to earn a starting spot at cornerback after playing some safety last year. Junior Jeff Green has great hands and body control. Junior Zach Hughes is back and will see time at safety.

Special teamsThe Mustangs are turning to for-

mer South Western soccer player Andrew Slater to do their kickoff duties, extra points, and poten-tially punting. Poalucci also said Geiman is an option for punting.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> Sept. 19 at New Oxford, the Mustangs will look for some revenge after last season’s overtime heartbreaker.BOTTOM LINE >> South Western has a team full of athletes and speed. New senior leadership has this year’s team believing it can have a special season. An experienced offensive line should help ease the transition for the Mustangs’ less experienced quarterbacks and running backs.

South Western >> Mustangs

Looking for a fresh start


South Western’s Bret Hertzog tries to find some space during a 2013 game. The Mustangs were bitten by the injury bug last season and will look for a fresh start after a disappointing 3-7 finish.

IN THE HUDDLEBy Mike RubinGameTimePA.com

Spring Grove made the Dis-trict 3 playoffs last year for the second consecutive season, but head coach Russ Stoner said he felt the team underachieved.

The Rockets have to replace YAIAA leading rusher Jeff De-laughter, but Stoner said he thinks several players can help fill the void.

The strength of Stoner’s squad will be its large and experienced offensive line: Three of the Rock-ets’ five starters are at least 6-foot-3 and 265 pounds.

Spring Grove has 14 seniors on this year’s roster, and Stoner will lean on them to lead the Rockets to the postseason for a third year in a row.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Sophomore Jake Messersmith and junior Nick Er-ickson are in a stiff competition for the starting job. Stoner said both players have a lot of intan-gibles that have the coach ex-cited about this season and the future. RUNNING BACK >> Seniors Zack Stauffer, Evan Greer and Shay Feulmer return for the Rockets, and are all expected to play big roles this year.RECEIVERS >> Logan Hall returns after leading the team last year with 56 receptions for 936 yards and 10 touchdowns. OFFENSIVE LINE >> The line re-turns four players, including its three giants: Andrew Lawson (6-4, 270), Owen Jacobs (6-3, 265) and Justin Sneeringer (6-5, 280). Ziba Topper returns at cen-

ter and is the smallest member of the line, but Stoner is quick to point out that he is also the meanest.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> The unit loses three first team All-YAIAA mem-bers: DeAndre Gaskins, David Shaw and Kyle Micik.

Finding replacements for those three could go a long way in determining Spring Grove’s success.LINEBACKERS >> Stauffer leads the linebacking core. Last year he earned All-YAIAA honors, excel-ling in coverage and against the run.

Fellow All-YAIAA honoree Nick Erickson also returns.SECONDARY >> Junior Ian Slaven, an All-YAIAA honoree as a soph-omore, leads the secondary.

Special teamsThe Rockets boast one of the

best kickers in the state in junior Andrew Luckenbaugh. Stoner trusts his kicker from nearly ev-ery spot on the field, and on kick-offs, Luckenbaugh routinely puts the ball in the end zone.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> Oct. 10 vs. Cen-tral York. Last year, the Rockets suffered a one-point loss to the Central, where Stoner was a for-mer assistant. This year, the Divi-sion I clash happens at Papermak-ers Stadium, and the home crowd is sure to be fired up.BOTTOM LINE >> Spring Grove has a wealth of athleticism on its ros-ter, so it’s a matter of putting the pieces together. And for the third season in a row, Luckenbaugh gives the Rockets an ace up their sleeve for games that are close in the fourth quarter.

IN THE HUDDLE


Last year, Sammy Miller and Bryan Kerr were the main cogs for Susquehannock. Their gradu-ation leaves holes in the skill set of the Warriors’ offense.

“We have some depth this year, which is nice. I don’t know that I see one or two guys taking the limelight like perhaps last year,” first-year Susquehannock head coach J.C. Lewis said. “We have a lot of kids who I think can play for us on Fridays.”

The players have noticed Lewis’ energy, as numbers were up in the weight room.

“You have to put in the time during the offseason to be suc-cessful during the season,” Lewis said.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Senior Colin Kelly, junior Josh Stoneberg and sophomore Chase Summers are competing to take over for Kerr. Kelly threw for 104 yards last sea-son, and Stoneberg threw for 82.

“It’s an interesting scenario for all of them, because it’s a new system. It’s a blank slate for all three,” Lewis said.RUNNING BACK >> “We have a sta-ble of guys,” said Lewis, who added that eight or nine players could see time. Dorian Faster, Mason Wood, Myles Moultrie and Kevin Clapp are among those who should see significant carries as the team tries to make up for the loss of the combined 1,400 rushing yards from Kerr and Miller last year.RECEIVERS >> Nick Tannura, Jakob Kramer, Tyler Buckley and Luke Bond will be relied on to haul in passes. Tannura had 10 catches for 136 yards last season.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Nick DeLuca will anchor the line as the team

transitions from a veer option of-fense to a spread attack.

“Ever since Coach Lewis got hired, he’s been having classroom sessions where we can sit down and learn the offense on paper,” DeLuca said. “By the time camp starts, everyone should know the basics of the playbook.”

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> DeLuca will man an end for the Warriors as they look to be more aggressive and create more than the 7.5 sacks they had as a team a year ago.LINEBACKERS >> Ray Wenger will probably be the guy calling the de-fense for the Warriors. The senior had 62 tackles, a forced fumble and a recovered fumble last year.SECONDARY >> The biggest defen-sive goal for the Warriors is to not give up any points, Lewis said. Last season, the Warriors allowed an average of 31.3 points per game. Tannura had four interceptions

and 11 tackles last season.

Special teams Adam Hedgeland returns this

year. As a freshman last year, he was 15-of-21 on extra points and has been applauded by Lewis for his work in the weight room in the offseason.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> The players are looking forward to their home-coming game against Eastern York on Oct. 10 and the rivalry game against Kennard-Dale on Oct. 24.

“We always look forward to the Kennard-Dale game,” De-Luca said.BOTTOM LINE >> The Warriors al-lowed 313 points last season and scored just 169. Reversing that trend and finding playmakers — especially on the offensive side of the ball — will go a long way to helping the Warriors improve on last year’s 3-7 mark.

Susquehannock >> Warriors

Energy rising for new coach

JASON PLOTKIN — GAMETIMEPA.COM

Susquehannock’s Will Hartsfield catches the ball during agility drills during preseason practice ahead of the Warriors’ first season under head coach J.C. Lewis. “You have to put in the time during the offseason to be successful during the season,” Lewis said.

J.C. Lewis’ squad has to overcome loss of two key playmakers on offense

IN THE HUDDLE


The 2013 football season ended, and no one could blame the West York players for the bewildered look on their faces. There would be no district playoff game. In fact, for the first time in coach Ron Miller’s eight seasons, the Bulldogs finished with a sub-.500 record.

Miller called the 4-6 campaign “unacceptable,” although the coach knows inexperience played a major factor last season, as the Dogs graduated 24 seniors from their 2012 divisional-champion-ship team.

“At the end of it, I felt bad. They took it hard what happened last year,” Miller said. “We were obvi-ously coming off a historic year. ... It wasn’t that they didn’t work hard, it’s just that they weren’t in the fire before.”

Still, West York rallied, win-ning four of its last five and fin-ishing second in YAIAA Division II with a 4-1 league mark. Unchar-acteristic as it was, the 2013 sea-son is a motivator.

“Starting the day after school ended, we were out there at 6:45 (a.m.) running and getting ready,” senior Logan Stover said. “In the offseason, we were lifting really hard and even started a new lift-ing program to get even stronger. It was much more intense this off-season.”

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Ross Campbell (5-10, 140 pounds) returns after completing 74-of-167 passes last season. He showed versatility by rushing for a team-high 700 yards and five touchdowns.RUNNING BACK >> Miller had trou-ble naming one, only because he said he has six or seven play-ers who can fill the role, includ-

ing Noah Bowers (5-6, 160), who gained 6.27 yards per carry in 56 attempts last year.RECEIVERS >> The top-three re-ceivers, 6-2 Ian Lichty (21 recep-tions), 6-2 Diego Torres (17) and 5-11 Terry Cains (14) all return to the mix this season. Lichty will move to tight end.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Stover (5-11, 235 pounds) returns at center, flanked on a stellar front by fellow Divi-sion II all-star Nick Kniery (5-11, 220) and Hunter Mummert (5-10, 225).

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> The above-three lineman will be there, but Miller said the parts will be more inter-changeable because of the Bull-dogs’ depth. LINEBACKERS >> Tanner Hale (5-7, 165) had 66 tackles, and all-star Noah Townsley (5-5, 160) had 60 to lead West York in stops last season. They plan to build upon those numbers as seniors. SECONDARY >> Baseball star Brett

Kinneman came out for football for the first time and will likely be the Bulldogs’ free safety on open-ing night. Gavin Toomey (5-8, 145) returns to the defensive backfield after making 45 tackles as a ju-nior.

Special teamsDarian McCauley returns to do

the place kicking and should get a lot more opportunity this season. Miller is excited about the kick-re-turning possibilities.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> It’s hard to not point to the Oct. 24 home contest with rival Dover. That matchup has determined two of the last three Division II champions.BOTTOM LINE >> A return to prom-inence looks likely, considering two factors: The Bulldogs re-turn so many players who saw substantial time last season, and they have the extra motivation of rebounding from a rare difficult season. Will that be enough to get past defending champ Dover?

West York>> Bulldogs

Down year serves to inspire


West York’s Noah Townsley helped the Bulldogs rebound in the second half of last season, winning four of their last five games. The linebacker garnered first-team All-YAIAA Division II honors and returns with Tanner Hale as West York’s leading tacklers.

After a rare losing season, West York is primed to contend

If there is one thing linebacker Lasmir Mitchell remembers about the offense last season, it’s how quickly some possessions went by.

Either a big play led to a touch-down or the team lost possession. The offense rarely seemed to sus-tain long drives, he said. As a linebacker, he could appreciate a little more of a ball-control of-fense. And Bearcats coach Shawn Heinold said he hopes his team can accomplish that this fall with some changes to its offensive phi-losophy.

Enter new offensive coordina-tor George Chaump. A former Di-vision I college coach, Chaump’s previous high school stops in-cluded Central Dauphin, Har-risburg and, most recently, CD East. He coached the Cougars to a District 3 Class AAAA title in 2007 and plans to implement an offense similar to what Auburn used on its way to last year’s na-tional title game in college.

“We’re multiple now,” senior quarterback James Way III said. “We’re not just one-dimensional. We’ve got a lot of people we can give the ball to now.”

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Way was any-thing but one-dimensional last year. He passed for 1,671 yards and 17 touchdowns, rushed for an-other 1,127 and eight TDs and be-came the YAIAA Division I Player of the Year. The 6-foot-3 Way had a hand in 80 percent of the Bearcats’ total yards on offense.RUNNING BACK >> Senior Bryshon Sweeney (5-7, 165) finished sec-ond to Way in rushing (446 yards) but had just 86 carries. That total could increase, and Heinold said a fullback also will enter the fray.

Mitchell is the leading candidate for that spot.RECEIVERS >> Leading receiver Da’keem Dennison graduated, but Way still has options in the pass-ing game. First is senior Sae’Quan Whitaker (6-1, 170), who pulled in 19 catches for 239 yards as a ju-nior. Seniors Danny Acevedo and Nate Delmotte also are expected to contribute with tight end Dar-ren Stephens.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Senior Jacob Whitfield (6-1, 270) is the lone re-turning starter from this group, which also lost big junior tackle Anees Jamison, who moved to Michigan.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Here again, Whitfield is the lone returning starter as an interior tackle. But Heinold is high on the prospects of 5-9 junior Billy Stokes, whom he expects could play at end or tackle.LINEBACKERS >> Mitchell returns as a third-year starter at middle linebacker with Stephens joining him in this group. One loss that Mitchell laments is his former de-fensive coordinator, Doug Olson. Longtime volunteer coach Ali Johnson, a former William Penn player, takes over the job.SECONDARY >> Sweeney returns after an All-YAIAA season. He’s joined by Whitaker and Angel DeJesus, a junior with promise, according to Heinold. One change is expected to be a limited role for Way, who doubled last year as a starting safety.

Special teamsSweeney will return kicks, and

Heinold expects Ethan Fogleman to handle field goals and extra points. Fogleman also doubles as a member of the marching band.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> The Bearcats’ Di-vision I opener in Week 4 at home vs. Red Lion could set the tone.BOTTOM LINE >> Depth and line play will be a concern for William Penn, which possesses a talented senior core.

A look at the ones to watch in York/Adams football: OFFENSEMalik Allen, Dover, TE: Just as deserving for his work as an outside linebacker, Allen is here for his blocking from the edge of Dover’s offensive line, and his ability to pick up defenders down field. Colton Dull, Bermudian Springs, RB: Dull joins Dover’s Isaiah Green as the YAIAA’s only two returning 1,000-yard rushers who are not quarterbacks. Isaiah Green, Dover, RB: Few rushing attacks were as vaunted as the Eagles’. With three top backs returning, Green anchored the Wing-T with 1,190 yards and 14 TDs. Qua’Shawn Grooms, York Catholic, WR: Entering

his third year as one of the YAIAA’s top receivers, Grooms caught 40 passes for 651 yards in 2013. Logan Hall, Spring Grove, WR: Hall stepped into a lead role when the Rockets lost Logan Hagerman to injury. Hall wound up No. 1 in the YAIAA with 56 receptions. Andrew Lawson, Spring Grove, OG: Lawson’s effort helped Jeff Delaughter rush for a league-best 1,484 yards last season. Levi Murphy, Dover, OT: The senior 6-foot-1, 275-pounder helped Dover rush for 320 yards per game. Tray Noye, Dallastown, OG: Strong footwork and a motor earned Noye (6-2, 260 pounds) a second-team spot on last year’s YAIAA Division I all-star team. Logan Stover, West

York, C: Stover took over a football position manned by four-year starter Brody Kern and went on to earn first-team Division II honors. Justin Tindull, Dallastown, OT: A scary amount of beef resided on the left side of Dallastown’s line last season. Even scarier, all of it is back. Tindull, at 6-3, 240 pounds, returns. He is joined by 6-5, 355-pound Zaire Willis. James Way III, William Penn, QB: With a rocket arm, throwing for more than 1,600 yards, and fast on his feet — 1,127 yards rushing — Way returns as a dual threat.

DEFENSEGiovanni Alvarado, Get-tysburg, DE: As the Warriors switch to the YAIAA, Alvarado was a first-team Mid-Penn Colonial pick last year. Lucas Barshinger, Eastern

York, ILB: The middle linebacker thrived off blitzes and doubles as a tight end. Noah Hakes, Bermudian Springs, DL: For 10 straight weeks, the Eagles defense held opponents to less than 14 points. Hakes helped the Eagles achieve that feat. Sam Lowe, Red Lion, DL: Lions coach Jesse Shay brought a defensive pedi-gree last year from Bishop McDevitt. Lowe proved to be a vital part in the coach’s transition to Red Lion. Phil Overton, Red Land, DB: The versatile senior can line up at safety or cornerback. Kristoffer Phennicie, Dallastown, DE: The Wildcats’ defense should be a strength this fall with a number of key returning players, including Phennicie, who registered 52 tackles

and five sacks last season.Addison Quinones, Dal-lastown, DB: A first-team Division I pick in 2013, Qui-nones had two interceptions and was second on the team in tackles. Lucas Reynolds, Lit-tlestown, DB: Reynolds picked off two passes and totaled 59 tackles — most among returning Bolts — while starring on offense. Zack Stauffer, Spring Grove, ILB: Stauffer not only can shed blockers to chase down a ballcarrier behind the line, but he also excels in pass coverage. Elzir Stroman, Central York, OLB: As a sophomore, Stro-man seized the spotlight with a key punt block in Central’s Division I showdown last year with Dallastown. He’s the lead returning tackler.

Noah Townsley, West York, OLB: Townsley helped the Bulldogs rebound in the second half of last season, winning four of their last five.

SPECIAL TEAMSBrock Geiman, South Western, P: Also a favorite to win the team’s quarter-back job, the junior averaged 33.9 yards per punt last season. Andrew Luckenbaugh, Spring Grove, K: For the second straight year, he is tabbed as the top kicker. He hit from 47 yards out as a freshman and from up to 45 yards last year. Bryshon Sweeney, William Penn, KR: The Bearcats’ all-purpose yards leader (1,228) in 2013, Sweeney can return kicks, catch passes out of the backfield and run the football.

IN THE HUDDLE


Last November’s appearance in the District 3 Class A cham-pionship game left a lasting im-pression on Eric Depew’s York Catholic squad. His goal is to re-turn to Hershey, where the Fight-ing Irish lost the title game to Steel-High, and win.

York Catholic returns a num-ber of offensive weapons to get that job done, but the late sum-mer will be a time to teach the new linemen up front what it takes to match the feat of last year’s team.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Hakeem Kinard (5-foot-10, 170 pounds) threw for a YAIAA-best 1,730 yards last year as a junior, with 20 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. Add to his passing prowess his 1,203 rushing yards, and Kinard was doubly dangerous.

“He’s very intelligent and un-derstands the game,” Depew said.RUNNING BACK >> Kinard wasn’t the only running threat. Jack Burnside (5-10, 165) had multi-ple 100-yard games as a junior. This year as a senior, he could be joined by sophomore Jakkar Ki-nard, Hakeem’s younger brother, who starred last year on the Irish freshman team. Senior Greg Ben-nett (5-11, 160) and junior Joe Bauhof (5-8, 155) could earn car-ries, too.RECEIVERS >> For each of the last two seasons, Qua’Shawn Grooms has been among the YAIAA’s best. He returns as a senior after col-lecting 40 grabs for 651 yards and seven TDs in 2013. Senior Scott Bartkowiak (5-11, 175) and soph-omore Dan Yokemick (5-11, 155) also drew Kinard’s attention.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Senior tackle Michael Sterling (5-9, 170) anchors this group as the lone returning starter. Junior Joe Heldrich (5-11,

175) also contributed as a block-ing tight end and should see an increased role. Sophomore Adam Bittner (5-10, 195) and junior Ryan Ratchford (6-2, 250) also are in the mix.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> Similar to the offensive side, a mostly fresh group resides here. Junior Luke Brennan will be at end and will be joined by Bittner and Ratch-ford as tackles in the rotation. Heldrich is expected to contrib-ute as a hybrid end and outside linebacker who plays up on the line of scrimmage.LINEBACKERS >> Two starters re-turn, including Bartkowiak on the strong side and Yokemick on the weak side. Depew said he is excited about the defense be-cause “all of our athletes are back there. We’re going to be able to do some things differently.” Ju-nior Sean Lamont (5-7, 175) is the leading candidate to take over the middle spot vacated by

Doug Mills and the 151 tackles he made in 2013.SECONDARY >> Three starters re-turn here, including Hakeem Ki-nard and Bennett at the corners. Grooms will be a safety. “We’re very athletic back there,” Depew said.

Special teamsYokemick handled the majority

of kicks last season. Brennan, a soccer player, also could earn an opportunity while the Irish have a host of options in the return game, including Grooms.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> The Aug. 29 de-but at Northeastern could be just as entertaining as the last two openers vs. the Bobcats have been. Each time, the home team won by five points.BOTTOM LINE >> The Irish seem poised for another run to the Class A playoffs. The regular sea-son offers plenty of hurdles in the always-competitive Division III race.

York Catholic >> Fighting Irish

Thinking district run again


York Catholic’s Hakeem Kinard returns to the Irish as one of the league’s best dual threats in the 2014 season. He threw for a YAIAA-best 1,730 yards and ran for another 1,203 yards.

IN THE HUDDLE


There was a long era of York County Tech football in which merely being competitive was a challenge.

That wasn’t so much an issue for last season’s Spartan squad, which nabbed three victories and was in the hunt in nearly every other game.

The trouble instead was getting second-half stops: Five times the Spartans entered the third quar-ter trailing by one score, and five times they watched their oppo-nent pull away.

“Our kids are working their tails off, and we’re hoping at some point that’s going to pay div-idends,” head coach Matt Glennon said. “We were in every game last year. But if you score 28 points per game, you should win more than three football games. That’s our focus now.”

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> Multiyear starter Dalmar Dickson has graduated, leaving Tech with a camp com-petition to determine who directs the Spartans’ triple-option attack. Junior Damarius Wiggins and sophomore Kahleik Savery are in the running.RUNNING BACK >> The Spartans lost record-breaking fullback Calvin Savary and big-play half-back Stephuan Montouth to grad-uation, but Tech believes it has a plug-and-play offensive system. Senior Nashid Bones will step into the feature fullback role after two seasons at A-back. Brandon Mon-touth, Maurice James and Jibri Bones will provide the change of pace at halfback.RECEIVERS >> The Spartans’ sys-tem means this group will occupy more of a blocking role than a re-ceiving one. David Porter, Luis

DeLeon and Isaiah Colon could see time at split end.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Tech is led by third-year starter and Division III all-star center Mason Carl. He’ll be joined up front by Luis Rivera and Cedric Baldwin, who each have starting experience. Kyle Snyder makes the rare move from split end to tackle, and Paris McDermott and Tyler Shoop also will be in the mix.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> This group is much the same as the offensive line: Carl is joined by McDer-mott, Snyder and Rivera. Soph-omores J.D. Miles and Jordan Black can give Tech some depth against the division’s run-happy heavyweights.LINEBACKERS >> Matt Rossi, Josh Matias, Snyder and Shoop could see time at the inside linebacker spots, while the Bones brothers and Colon will provide some clos-ing speed as outside backers.SECONDARY >> There are a bunch

of athletes, although most of them will be learning on the job. Sav-ery and Wiggins play safety, while Montouth, DeLeon, Maurice James and David Porter give the Spartans options and depth at corner.

Special teamsThe Bones brothers and Mon-

touth bring some gamebreaking ability to the return game. Tech will likely again forgo extra-point kicks in favor of two-point conver-sion attempts.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> Tech is likely among those grateful for YAIAA realignment, as their three non-division dates give the Spartans’ newbies a chance to get up to speed before division play hits. BOTTOM LINE >> The Spartans have proven they can score, and the staff has confidence that a new group of skill-position guys can produce. But it remains to be seen if Tech can get stops on de-fense, especially in the second half of games.

In today’s world of con-stant change, Central York’s Brad Livings-ton is a rarity.

And not just for his longevity, al-though the fact that this season will be his 33rd as head coach of the Panthers makes him a legend among local coaches.

“He’s extremely loyal to Central York, and they are lucky to have him,” said West York coach Ron Miller, who will open his ninth season with the Bulldogs. “Honestly, he’s part of a dying breed.”

Miller, who has had un-precedented success at West York, said he doesn’t expect to see peers stick it out as long as Livingston or former South Western

coach Don Seidenstricker, who spent 26 seasons at

the Mustangs’ helm.“Historically, in

his tenure, he has the best high school football program in York County,” Miller said of Livings-ton. “Who knows, he may be doing it

for 30 more years. He has found that balance, and I tip my hat to him.”

Dallastown coach Kevin Myers met Livingston in 1991 when the latter coached a War of the Roses team that Myers played on.

“He’s someone I have looked up to for the things he’s done over the course of his career,” Myers said. “I’ve asked him a number of times how was he able to do it for this long.”

To put Livingston’s lon-gevity in perspective: He has been the Panthers’ head coach for more than twice as long as Jon De-Foe of Bermudian Springs, who is next in seniority in the league, entering his 16th season.

Spring Grove coach Russ Stoner said Livingston keeps himself young, some-thing Stoner witnessed many times during his 16 years as an assistant under him at Central. Stoner said when Lady Gaga was pop-ular, Livingston said his favorite song was “Poker Face” and would dance on the field at practice.

And it’s not just football. The 66-year-old Livings-ton has been the Panthers’ volleyball coach for 13 sea-sons and won two PIAA

Class AAA championships.“He’s one of the most in-

telligent men I have ever met,” Stoner said. “Even though Brad is the elder statesman, football has not passed him by. Volley-ball has not passed him by, and kids have not passed him by. It’s all about the kids and all about the competition with Brad.”

Myers and Miller also marvel at the success Liv-ingston has had with vol-leyball. And neither can imagine coaching for three-plus decades.

“I absolutely admire Brad. I think so much of him for many things,” Miller said. “He’s won two state volleyball champion-ships. I can’t imagine do-ing one, let alone at the level he is able to do it,

and the way he’s done it — with pure class.”

Stoner added that Liv-ingston does not get enough credit for what he’s done in football, where he has been one of the area’s most innovative coaches throughout his career. He’d love to see his former boss coach the Big 33 game.

• • • Livingston has mas-

tered the art of delegat-ing, whether it’s letting of-fensive coordinator Matt Baker call plays, or having assistant coach Todd Goo-dling run things on the vol-leyball court. But when it’s time for Brad to take over, he will certainly do that.

“There’s a reason why we all stuck around for that long. It was the single most toughest thing I did was

to leave that staff,” Stoner said. “For me, I never wanted to let him down. He was my mentor, the guy I was trying to impress. He’s the guy that gave me the opportunity to do the things I am doing right now. I am grateful for that.”

“People will talk about his state championships and winning, but if you go back and talk about the great lives he’s impacted ... the great dads, doctors, lawyers he’s helped pro-duce,” Miller said. “I want to beat his butt every time we compete, but when I shake his hand at the end of the game, I really re-spect him.”

IN THE HUDDLE


When Jeremy Jones took over the York Suburban program in 2013, there was much to learn for all involved. Because of it, the Trojans took some lumps on the field, especially early in the sea-son.

However once the team at-tained some familiarity with each other, things started to click, and Suburban finished with a 5-5 re-cord.

“I was new to them. They were new to me. I threw everything at them (and said), you’ve got to learn it by Week 1, and it didn’t work,” Jones said. “This year we are slowly implementing things. ... We can’t go to the next step until we get the first step.”

The good news is that several starters return, and the team that finished last year with only 27 players has 54 heading into the new season. Now that the team is past that first-year learn-ing curve, Suburban hopes to be prepared heading back into Di-vision II after four seasons in Di-vision III.

OffenseQUARTERBACK >> This position is a definite strength for the Tro-jans, as junior Thomas Merkle (5-foot-10, 140 pounds) returns after throwing seven touch-downs. He improved steadily as last season went on and is ready to take on more of a leadership role in 2014.

“I know what I am supposed to do, and I need to get it done that way,” he said.

At times, he’ll get some re-lief from physical senior Sawyer Robinson (6-0, 174), especially in tough yardage situations.RUNNING BACK >> Liam McWil-liams (5-8, 155) returns after

running for 335 yards, an aver-age of 3.53 per carry, as a junior. Speedy junior Dajour Henderson (5-6, 145) averaged 6.71 yards per carry in limited action last year and could be a big factor. RECEIVERS >> Jimmy Daglaris (5-9, 149) figures to be a favorite tar-get for Merkle this season. Da-glaris had 12 catches with an im-pressive 25.08 yards per catch average.OFFENSIVE LINE >> Improved depth will provide a boost up front, where Jones anticipates six or seven players vying for spots.

DefenseDEFENSIVE LINE >> The core of Dan Strong (6-1, 231), who had 36 tack-les with one sack, and Will Peters (6-1, 190), who had 35 and 2 1/2, re-turn to a line that will have a lot more depth this season. LINEBACKERS >> Showing a nose for the football, Robinson was a first-team Division III all-star last season after making 58 tackles

with 2 1/2 sacks. The team has to replace the combined 165 tackles from graduated Steven Salcedo and Aaron Ivey.SECONDARY >> Collin Mailman (5-10, 162) and Daglaris will roam the defensive backfield with the hopes of lowering last year’s av-erage of nearly 160 passing yards allowed per game.

Special teamsThis is an area of question for

Suburban with the graduation of multi-year kicker/punter Kyle Bul-garelli.

• • • SAVE THE DATE >> Jones served on Ron Miller’s staff at West York be-fore taking the Trojans’ job. He will face his mentor Oct. 10 in a game that will provide a solid barometer for where his team stands. BOTTOM LINE >> The Trojans must cut down on the number of turn-overs, and the big plays allowed on defense.

York Suburban >> Trojans
