SE C TI O N TWO I S SH A P I N G U P TO B E A
ROYALE
The shifting of teams from one

section to another, caused by
enrollment and petition, has
seemingly loaded Section Two
with top-flight matchups.
Rivalries will be continued and
started anew this season.
Andy Blackburn
BY ED GRUVER
Sports Writer
egruver@lnpnews.com
t was Solanco athletic director Dan Baughman who,

in an interview with Lancaster Newspapers last
March to announce the hiring of Anthony Cox as new
head football coach, first applied the moniker Murderers Row to the new-look lineup of Section Two.
The sobriquet has since gained traction. Cocalico
coach Dave Gingrich used it on L-L Media Day and
the belief that football fans are in for something special this
fall has become a common theme among coaches and players.
You take the best team (Garden Spot) in Section Three
and one of the best (Lancaster Catholic) in Section One, thats
kind of scary, Lebanon coach Gerry Yonchiuk said.
Scary good. The Spartans are 18-4 over the past two seasons, won a section title two years ago and in 2013 owned
the sections best overall record at 8-3. The Crusaders,
who dominated Section Three before bumping up to
Section One, have won two state titles and are a perennial playoff squad.
Add Catholic and Garden Spot to an already
ultra-competitive field that includes four playoff teams from a year ago in district Class
AAA finalist and Section Two champ Manheim Central, Triple-A semifinalist Cocalico, recent section champ LampeterStrasburg and Lebanon and its easy to
see why Crusaders head man Bruce
Harbach says Section Two ranks as
one of the top sections in the state.
Its what Friday night football is
all about, added Elizabethtown coach
Mike Cottle, whose Bears bring their
own tradition to the mix.
It was the E-town teams of the
late Eighties and early Nineties that slugged it out with
Central and Conestoga Valley for section and district
titles that evoke such
fond memories and
comparisons for retiring Barons boss Mike
Williams.
Those years when
we had E-town, CV
and us all competing
at the district (playoff) level were really
competitive, he said.
But I dont know if we
had five teams as competitive (as the current
Section Two). Were getting
two teams (Catholic and Garden
Spot) that are pretty solid.
Lancaster , Pa
Marty Heisey
And the section is getting two men Jim

Cantafio and Gerry Novak, Catholics new offensive and defensive coordinators, respectively
who as former CV head coaches bring additional
name recognition and give the Crusaders an allstar staff along the lines of Centrals.
Its like having three head coaches, Crusaders running back/cornerback/return specialist
Nassir Weaver said, smiling.
Catholic and Central had a short-lived twoseason throwdown several years ago, and Williams said that despite its brevity it was a great
rivalry.
It might be as good, he mused, as the ones
we had in the past with CV and E-town.
And while Williams knows the Barons, as
reigning kings, will bear the target this season
Everybodys going to want to beat us he
expects the Crusaders are going to be circled on
every teams calendar as well.
Everybodys going to have a rivalry with
Lancaster Catholic, he said. (Private schools
versus public schools) is the hot topic right now.
Consider it another chapter in a story that
looks to be a real page-turner.
Ive always felt that Section Two is the most
competitive in the league, Gingrich opined.
But this year takes it to a whole new level. Add
Garden Spot and Lancaster Catholic, a two-time
state champion, add Cantafio and Novak, holy
(smoke).
AUGUST 26, 2014 5
Mentally, its going to be a challenge for

coaches to prepare their squad every week,
Yonchiuk stated. I dont think anyone wants
to set any team up as their Homecoming opponent.
The players who will take the field are
expecting nothing less than a playoff
atmosphere every Friday night for
the next three months.
Its become more competitive
with Catholic and Garden Spot
coming in, Eagles wide receiver/
cornerback Devon Delpiano said.
The games are going to be more
physical, more demolition derby.
All of which suits Barons
linebacker Justin Moreno, who
at 6-0, 238 pounds hits as hard
as Monday morning.
Im ready for some competition, Moreno said. Blowout games are kind of boring.
Catholics two-way lineman
Keegan Sheedy expects Section
Two to be as demanding as Section
One was, maybe more so.
Its not a step down, he said. Its a step
up.
Spartan RB/LB Tim Stoltzfus shares
Sheedys belief.
Im super excited for (competing in
Section Two); bigger games, higher intensity.
And its that intensity that inspired Bears
two-way lineman Zack Semple and his teammates to go the extra mile in the offseason.
We took that mindset into the weight
room, he said, and worked harder.
All thats left now is to run this gauntlet
of games.
No question, its going to be a 10-week
grind, Spartans coach Matt Zamperini said.
The idea of being in a battle on Friday night and
getting back in the mix on Monday is something
we havent had in a while. You stand up and compete or you get your butt kicked.
Gingrich agreed. When you look at the
schedule, its a daunting task. Theres going to
be a good team with a sub .500 record.
Ill tell you what. Whoever wins Section Two
is going to be a great team.

Two gauntlet against

cCaskey didnt

season, and
coach Rob Monzon did not finish the year
sounding like a man excited about the programs
present or future.
They need to know that
if they want this to be better
then they need to show the
commitment it takes for it to
be better, Monzon said after
a 41-6 loss to Manheim Township in Week 9 last year.
They have to stop looking
for excuses as to why things
arent right.
Part of the problem was
injuries; the Red Tornado lost
two rotation running backs
and two starting offensive
linemen during the season
opener, a 33-15 loss to Reading. The injuries continued,
and the Tornado simply didnt
have the depth to patch holes
and keep chugging.
The physical wear eventually became mental and emotional wear. McCaskey mostly
played people tough the first
half of the season. Not so
much down the stretch.
They need to start fighting
through and showing the tenacity and character needed
to show that theyre going to
overcome what barriers are

compared to who they have to block, but theyre

going to be much stronger, and at least they know
what to expect.
About the defense: The McCaskey D used
to be known for speed and odd formations,
sometimes including five linebackers and/or as
few as two down linemen. Now theres a new
coordinator Lance Whiteside, an old Monzon
pal who comes to Lancaster from Harrisburg
High and, for a second straight year, relatively
standard fronts.
Were still going to be a four-man-front defense, Monzon said, but (Whiteside) has a way
of teaching it that the guys are grasping.
As on offense, nine starters are back. Tyler
Owens, a 6-3, 212 senior LB, is back after a
100-tackle 2013 season. The real strength of the
defense might be on the back end, with Bynum at
free safety and corners Kamaal Gantz and Randolph Speller, a transfer from Lancaster Catholic.

Well be about middle of the pack,

yes, that has been true.
Its been a nice run, he said. I hope
it doesnt end. But the higher you set the
bar the harder it is to stay there.

last year. We had very little back but
last years team had great chemistry

Also to be determined is who emerges as Wilsons primary threat. Dahms

empfield got a taste of playoff success last season, winning a first-round

game, and it wants to build on that
and advance even further this year.
The Black Knights beat Central Dauphin 17-7 in
the initial round of the Class AAAA playoffs before
bowing 17-10 in overtime to Cumberland Valley the
following week.
It was a nice run, coach Ron Zeiber said. We
got our kids a little taste of that level of play and our
goal is to make sure we can compete at those levels.
I think last year we had a great season to prove that
to the kids.
We dont want to dwell on last year. We had a
bunch of guys graduate. But were at a point in our
program where those guys leave something when
they go. And what
theyve left us is the
attitude we need to
have. The hard work

hey open the regular

season in late August
against Cedar Cliff in
Ireland and close it
at home on Halloween night
against Cedar Crest.
In the interim Penn Manor is
hoping to mount another challenge to Wilsons dominance of
Section One.
We could be very competitive and compete for a section
championship or be middle of the
road, Comets coach Todd Mealy
said.
Penn Manors fate depends in
part on a large sophomore class.
We havent had to count on
sophomores since 2011, Mealy
said, recalling a season in which
the Comets went 6-5.
Penn Manor does return a good
number of seniors, 21 in all. They
have varsity experience, Mealy
noted, and they know what its
like to play on Friday night.
They also know what it takes
to win.
I like the competitive nature
of our senior class, Mealy said.
Theyve had a lot of success.
About the offense: Triggerman Tanner Erisman is one of the
seniors coming back for offensive
coordinator and position coach
Gordon Eck. Erisman completed
58 percent of his passes last season, throwing for 1,334 yards and
11 touchdowns against just six
interceptions.
Senior Matt Keller, a center
who starred in national showcase
camps this offseason, serves as
the linchpin of the O-line. Keller
is flanked up front by fellow
seniors and guards Noah Braun
and Colby Doman. Tackles Zeb

combined for 2,748 rushing yards
and 35 TDs last season.
Senior fullback Ashton Leschke proved productive in
limited playing time and looks to
be a factor. Beyond that there is a
bevy of sophs and seniors.
We have a nice stable of
running backs, the most selfless
group weve had, Mealy said.
Well be able to rotate in and
out.
Senior Keagan Gamber (16326, 20.4 avg.) joins junior Carter
Kinser at wideout while senior
Brent Neely starts at tight end.
About the defense: Braun
and Doman line up at end, with
Pfeiffer and fellow senior Chris
Stillwell at tackle. The 255-pound
Braun is an effective rush end.
His 6.5 sacks tied for second on
the team.
Outside linebackers Kinser
and senior Seve Johnson combined for 92 stops last season, and
inside linebackers Leschke and
Neely 63.
Spangler and junior Jamal
McCaskell, a Dallastown transfer,
handle cornerback duties, while
Gamber starts at safety. Spangler
and Gamber tied for the team
lead in interceptions with two
apiece.
Senior Erik Hill, who hit on 45
of 49 point-after attempts last season, returns to help lead special
teams.
Intangibles: Comet seniors
take seriously their responsibilities as mentors to the younger
players. Its a tradition thats
been handed down, and that
selflessness has helped build team
chemistry.
Were leaders now, Keller
said. We need to do what others
have done.
Braun agreed. Its a huge
responsibility for us, taking care
of the younger guys.
Key to the season: Making
up the yards made by Bell will be
vital, along with the maturation
of the sophomore class. If the
Comets can achieve these things,
a date with Wilson on the seasons
penultimate weekend could be for
the section crown.
Final word: The last two
years weve been in second place
in the section. We want to get over
that hump, Spangler said.

y the time they step onto Central Dauphins football field Aug. 29 for their
season opener, the Manheim Township
Blue Streaks will have endured several
weeks of competition.
With a voluminous list of players returning from
last years 5-6 squad and 70-plus players on the field
for the first day of training camp, the battle for
certain positions and roster spots fueled the teams
preparation for the season.
Competition, said coach Mark Evans, is what
makes you stronger.
Its that strength, as well as the heavy returns at
skill positions, that Evans said makes his team the
best hes coached in his three seasons at Township.
About the offense: Junior Erik Benjamin returns to his position under center after injury shortened his sophomore season. Senior Davis Carr, who
passed for 1,031 yards in Benjamins absence, shifts
to wide receiver and a utility role for the Township
offense.

Fisayo Oluleye, who caught 41 passes for 485

yards last season, returns at corner as well as
wide receiver.
Why not get two of your best guys on the field at
the same time? Evans said of his two quarterbacks.
Benjamin completed 34 of his 59 pass attempts
last season.
Last year, as a sophomore, Evans said, the
game was really fast for him ... The game has
slowed down for him, and he has a good, solid grasp
on what were asking him to do.
Joining Carr in the receiving corps are seniors
Fisayo Oluleye, who caught 41 passes for 485 yards
en route to a Section One honorable mention in 2013,
and Isaac Vazquez and junior John Stutz.
Complementing the receivers is the Streaks
one-two ground punch, contrasting styles of senior
Cartier Mortons finesse and junior Nathan Seprinskis strength.

About the defense: The strength of our defense, Evans said, is our secondary and our linebacking corps.
Senior Jacob Zug leads the linebackers after pacing the team in solo tackles (60) and sacks (2.0) last
season. Lining up alongside him, senior Noah Schairer
and Benjamin return with experience as starters.
The veteran secondary includes Morton, a secondteam Section One All-Star at corner. Oluleye, already

corner with Vazquez and Carr at the safety positions.
Intangibles: Evans noticed a higher level of
discipline on the team during offseason camps and
workouts, a trend in line with the Get it slogan the
coaches have tagged on the upcoming season.
They get what we want, Evans said, and were
hoping that they finally start to apply the lessons
theyve learned the last three years with us as coaches, our scheme, our philosophy, and they start to take
the initiative. I see that happening with this group.
Linebacker Tucker Evans, Mark Evans son, has
been granted a fifth year of eligibility by the PIAA via
hardship exemption after missing the 2013 season
and most of the school year with a life-threatening

infection.
Key to the season: With depth and experience at

the skill positions, Township needs strong play from
its linemen on both sides of the ball.
Its whats up front that counts, Mark Evans said.
The line returns four starters with experience
Tim OHara, Jack Storz, Tanner Evans, Tuckers
brother, and AJ McCloud.
The line has to gel, Evans said. They need to
continue to grow. We have an undersized group, but
hopefully theyre overachievers.
Final word: If something goes on with one of our
players, were going to stand up for him, get us all together. Were definitely not a team thats going to back
down, Oluleye said.

arwick coach Bob

Locker is hopeful his team can
improve on last
seasons 3-7 record by running
more and passing less.
Last year, it (passing) was
kind of a necessity, Locker said.
We had trouble running the
football.
Quarterback Matt Pennypacker threw for 1,660 yards and
Tommy Garner, Austin Myers
and Anthony Fatjo all ranked
among the top receivers in Section One last season. All four have
graduated.
Part of the problem when
you throw a lot is the clock stops
a lot, Locker said. And your
defense winds up on the field a lot
more than if youre a run offense.
So we want to shorten the game.
We need to be able to run clock.
We need to be able to line up and
move people.
About the offense: Junior
Collin Gibble has the inside
track at the quarterback position, according to Locker. A
point guard for the basketball
team, he has not played football
for a couple of years.
Anytime a kids been away
for that long, thats a lot to fill
in, Locker said. But I give him
credit. Hes done his very best to

learn an awful lot of stuff.
Hes a good athlete. So
it would give us a quarterback
whos mobile. He can be a dual
threat. And I think the kids see
what he can bring to the table.
Center David Brubaker, guard
Austin Maguire and tackle Adam
Wagaman, all seniors, will anchor
the offensive line. All three are
three-year starters.
We have a lot of guys back
who can take care of business on
the field, Brubaker said. People
have come out and put the work
in. I think we can go out and have
a good season, knowing we can
count on each other.
David Weaver (54 carries, 199
yards, four TDs) is the Warriors
leading returning rusher.
David sees things well between the tackles, Locker said.
Chris Borg (14 catches, 200
yards) has the most experience at
receiver.
About the defense: The
Warriors, who will play a 4-3
defense, return six (SS Jordan
Cipalla, DB Tyler Melhorn, DT
Maguire, LB Brubaker, DE
Wagaman and DB Borg) of their
nine leading tacklers from last
season. Borg also had five interceptions last year.
Warwick is looking for Mason
Eshleman and Weaver to see
significant time at linebacker and
Austin Goodwin and Avery Quinn

to be part of the line.
The more these guys contribute, the less Ill have to use
anybody two ways, Locker said.
The Warriors are hopeful that
junior Justin Smith, who broke
his hand the first week of football
last season, will be at linebacker.
Intangibles: The last two seasons, Warwick ran a rugby punt.
They would like to have a regular
punt team this season.
But if we dont find a punter
(in camp), theres a philosophy
that you just dont punt, Locker
said. You treat every (possession) as four downs. And we
actually talked about that. Itll be
ironed out in camp.
Key to the season: The
biggest thing in football is having
a positive attitude, Maguire said.
If something doesnt go your
way, you have to get up and just
keep going. And Bru (David
Brubaker) and me and (the other
team leaders) have to be there to
help the guys who pout and dont
see it that way.
Final word: I want my kids
to walk out on the field thinking
they can win games, Locker
said, not just hang around in
games. Thats the mindset we
want them to accept and believe
in. And I think with the nucleus of
kids we have back, I think we can
do that.

Wilson
NOTABLE: Rosa was selected as a Sec-
tion One First-Team All-Star at defensive

end after a season in which he recorded
a team-high 13 sacks. He made 58 total
tackles, two for a loss last season. This
season, hell likely line up on the weak
side, which may cause opponents to flipflop their tight end due to the contrast in
size of the Bulldogs two defensive ends.
As a tight end, Rosa has the speed to
stretch defenses with his quickness.
QUOTABLE: Wilson coach Doug
Dahms: Austins bread and butter
is that he is quick and tenacious. He
has the ability to recognize blocking
schemes.
Lancaster Catholic
NOTABLE: A Lancaster Mennonite
student playing for Lancaster Catholic via

a co-op agreement, Kemp was selected
as a First-Team All-Star last season as a
defensive back. He returned six kickoffs
for 24.8 yards per return. He will also be
a receiver for the Crusaders this season.
QUOTABLE: Lancaster Catholic coach
Bruce Harbach: For a kid who played a
minimum amount of football last year,
he greatly improved. He has good hands
and quickness and hes able to separate
himself from defensive backs and close
in on receptions.
Lancaster Catholic
NOTABLE: Like offensive linemate Skylar Bender, Sheedy provided the holes
for the Crusaders running backs, who
generated 160.3 yards per game, and
blocked for the teams quarterbacks.
Bruce Harbach: Keegan reminds me
of Adam DePietro (former Crusader
lineman now playing for Division I
Northwestern) as far as athletic ability
goes. Hes got good feet, is a strong
blocker and comes off the ball quickly.
Hes a mainstay
up front.
NOTABLE: A center, Bender helped
First-Team pick at punter last season,

when he averaged 34.8 yards per punt.
Hes also the teams kicker, making six
of six field goals, the longest measuring
34 yards.
QUOTABLE: Hempfield coach Ron
Zeiber: Steve is a great directional punter.
We can rugby-kick with him as well and he
does a great job with that. Any time we can
put a team in a difficult field advantage,
its an advantage for us.
Cedar Crest
the Crusaders average 308.7 yards per

game on offense last season.
Bruce Harbach: Skylar had surgery in
the offseason but has come through
that well. Hes really improved strengthwise and quickness-wise.
H
M
I
NOTABLE: A two-way Section One
First-Team All-Star as a sophomore at

wide receiver and defensive back, Horn
grabbed 24 passes for 390 yards and
two TDs.
QUOTABLE: Cedar Crest quarterback
Josh Bucher: I love throwing the ball to
Evan. Hes someone to lean on, someone
to trust to get the job done.

s sports success transferable?

The Cedar Crest football program, a stranger to success for the last decade, believes it is.
Rookie head coach Rob Wildasin isnt old
enough to run for president, yet. Yet he has 13
seasons of experience as an assistant football coach
under his belt and has a roster dotted with members
of the Falcons league champion basketball and
track and field programs.
Football kind of lost its way at Cedar Crest,
observed Evan Horn, Lancaster Newspapers
2013-14 Boys Basketball Player of the Year and an
11th-place finisher in the PIAA Class AAA javelin
this past spring.
With the success weve had in basketball and
track, were just trying to bring it back.
I honestly think this past basketball season
has helped the school come together as one, said
Damon Edwards, a member of the Falcons District Three champion 4x100 relay, a team that also
finished fourth in Class AAA states.
Many people have come up to me and said, I
cant wait for the Cedar Bowl.
The Cedar Bowl is the annual clash tween neighbors Crest and Lebanon held this year in Lebanons WPA-era confines that has become a huge
draw beyond the boundaries of Lebanon City and
South Lebanon Township/Cornwall Borough.
About the offense: Horn and Edwards, two
of the three returning vets, joined by Josh Bucher,
will step in at wide receiver and running back, and
running back and wide receiver, respectively. Its
going to be Wheres Waldo? said Wildasin, who
shared he didnt sleep for a week and a half after
his hire, just working on schemes to get Horn (24
receptions-390 yards, 2 TDs) and Edwards (54 carries-474 yards, 4 TDs/9 TDs overall) in one-on-one
matchups.
I tend to be an out-of-the-box thinker, said
Wildasin.
About the defense: After several seasons of
playing variations of the 3-3-5 stack, the Falcons
will go back to a 4-3
formation fronted

safety. Hes going to be a phenomenal defensiveside-of-the-ball player, says Wildasin. Hes got a
knack for finding the ball.
Intangibles: Wildasin, an Annville-Cleona grad
who started four years at free safety for Division
I-AA Lafayette, had two three-year tours as Terry
Lehmans assistant at A-C and served four years on
Joe Headons staff at Susquehanna Township.
Watching them manage the day-to-day of leading
a program, as well as helping restore the Falcons
hoops program as an assistant to Tommy Smith a
position he continues to hold led Wildasin to this
point professionally.
I didnt feel I was ready to be a head coach
(when the Crest job opened in 2008), Wildasin said.
(Now) everything I needed to give this a shot was
there. Its up to me to either succeed or fail. Its that
time.
Key to the season: Getting a couple of early
victories never hurts. Seriously, though, in a program starved for success any kind of winning string
would build geometricaly. In a section balanced
from three through seven, that could be huge.
Final word: Wildasin tells his squad, You were
3-7 last year, you havent had a winning season in
over 10 years. What impact does that have on you
for this year? Nothing.
Just as if we were coming off 10 winning seasons, it has zero impact.
Lancaster , Pa
AUGUST 26, 2014 17
Some years, we admit to straining a bit to come up with

enough material for our annual compendium.
This year, 25 may not be enough. We present to you
MIKE GROSS 25 THINGS TO WATCH
Super powers, Ireland and a girl kicker
There are games being played overseas, bigname coaches reintroducing themselves,
big-name coaches saying goodbye, the vagaries of
Lancaster-Lebanon League realignment, and more
than the usual allotment of subplots and human interest.
SUPER POWER MOVES
As you will read elsewhere on these pages,

there is a newly-created nexus of theoretical or traditional power in L-L Section Two
that sounds like it was created by Marvel Comics or
something.
Lancaster Catholic moves down from One to Two,
and Garden Spot up from Three to Two, creating a
section in which six of the eight teams (Catholic, the
Spot, Manheim Central, Lampeter-Strasburg, Cocalico and Lebanon) made the District Three playoffs
in 2013.
Section Two programs own 25 of Lancaster County's 28 district championships, and all three of its
state titles.
Section Two will also have Mike Williams' swan song as head coach at
Manheim Central, and two accomplished former Conestoga Valley head men, Jim Cantafio and
Gerad Novak, returning as offensive and defensive coordinator at
Catholic.
ON THE OTHER HAND
A REMARKABLE CAREER
Lebanon loses QB/LB Mark Pyles,

who arguably had the league's alltime MVP season. Cocalico loses an historically great QB (Jhet Janis) and RB (Spencer
Moser). Garden Spot will be punching way
up in class. Catholic and L-S went a combined 11-12 last year.
That leaves Central. Sure, one or two or
three of the above will challenge the Barons.
But the truth is Section Two has been about
Central, seemingly, since the T-formation was
trendy. The more things change
We could probably do 25 things solely

on Williams, who will end a remarkable
career as the fifth-winningest coach in Pennsylvania history. He's currently 340-71-3, with
16 district titles, 21 section titles, one state championship and nine runs to the state semifinals.
PUT A HURTIN ON EM
Realignment also means two class AAAA

schools, Conestoga Valley and Ephrata, moving out of Section Two, CV to One and Ephrata to
Three.
Ephrata didn't win a game last year and, incredibly, lost all 22 starters. Given where the program is,
the move to small-school Section Three can be seen
one short-term step backward in order to two take
two long-term steps ahead.
That's how the Mounts see it.
"It's definitely the right move for us now,'' said
junior Evan Frees at media day. "We'll be playing
teams our roster size and skill level for a couple

years. Then we'll come back to Section Two and put

a hurtin' on 'em.''
A FEMALE KICKER
ANOTHER SUPER HERO METAPHOR
DAHM HES GOOD
Ephrata has a female kicker, sophomore Caroline Stauffer. She played varsity basketball
and volleyball as a freshman last year but,
surprisingly, no soccer.
To belabor the comic-book metaphor, if Section Two is the Justice League, Wilson, in
Section One, is Superman. Doug Dahms, the Bulldogs' ninth-year coach, is 55-2 in section games, and
has won the section title seven times in eight tries.
Wilson lost plenty, but it was supposedly rebuilding last year, when it went 13-2, and reached the
AAAA district semis.
Dahms' numbers above are among a blizzard

of them in "A History of Lancaster-Lebanon
League Football, 1972-2014,'' by Skip Wolf, an
amateur football historian from Lebanon.
The latest edition of the book, which includes scores from every District Three
and PIAA playoff game ever played in
Pennsylvania and the postseason formats
employed by all 50 states, is at the printers
as this is written. More info: karlskipwolf@
verizon.net.
TRY AGAIN
Donegal won Section Three last year,

but ended the year with an inexplicable 27-0 loss to Annville-Cleona. The loss
cost the Indians an undefeated league season and a
district playoff berth.
They have a chance to be at least as good. Connor
Ness is the league's top returning QB statistically.
RB/DB Connor Maxwell and OT/DT are Nikkia Armstrong are among the section's top two-way players.

ike George and Weezie Jefferson, Conestoga Valley is

moving on up.
There is the brand, spanking new state-of-the-art turf field and
stadium that is promised to be ready for
the first home game of the season, the
Lampeter Bowl, with L-S, on September 12.
But were not speaking of that.
Nor are we speaking of a deluxe apartment on New York Citys East Side, but
rather of the Bucks move to the Lancaster-Lebanon Leagues Section One.
The biennial upheavel that is the L-Ls
enrollment-based realignment has had a
seismic effect this season with Garden
Spot, Ephrata, Lancaster Catholic and CV
all on the move.
For CV its a move away from the grueling march that is competing in Section
Two to a Section One that is a shadow of
its former self.
I have no clue, Bucks coach Mark
Pieters responded when asked about his
expectations in Section One.
He allowed that hed always coached
in Two, adding, Were a blank slate, just
trying to figure it out as we go.
What Pieters figured out in 2013 a
season that saw the Bucks win twice in
10 trips to the starting gate was that he
and his staff might have asked too much
of his Bucks in his first year in Witmer.
The season was total growing pains

everal years
ago, Wilson defensive end Austin Rosa recalls
being coached up by
the Bulldogs varsity
players at the schools
summer youth camp,
then watching those
same players on Friday
nights in the fall.
And here is what he
said to himself: I picture
myself doing that one
day.
Rosa, coming off a
13-sack season in 2013, is
now one of the keepers of
a flame that has burned
brightly for decades. And
one that doesnt figure to
be snuffed out any time
soon.
The Bulldogs have
won six straight Section
One titles and 43 straight
section games. They
have enjoyed 38 straight
winning seasons and
50 straight non-losing
seasons.
Well try to be competitive, coach Doug
Dahms said.
Then he laughed.
Nobody buys that, he
said, but you know
Yeah, we know. Everybody knows.

much and just play the game,

and react to the ball, said Zerbe,
whose older brother Pat starred at
Wilson and played at Penn State.
Dont second-guess so much.
Also be a leader of the defense.
Asked about his concerns on
this side of the ball, Dahms said,
The question is going to be at corner. We have to find some cover
corners.
The guess here is that there
might be a couple knocking
around the program.
Intangibles: The big one, the
one that has sustained the Dogs
forever, is the players burning
desire to continue the programs
long, glittering run.
We dont want to let the alums
and people in the community
down, Zerbe said. It helps us
work harder, because we dont
want to let them down.
Key to the season: Templins
progress is a biggie, but they
ought to be able to pound the ball
with Dantzler until the QB settles
in. Cohesion on the offensive front
is another obvious concern.
Final word: The pressure
we kind of put on ourselves. We
know in Lancaster County were
the team to beat. We love knowing
that, Rosa said.
Jake Templin, who made a pair of starts last season, is the

hile Manheim Central coach Mike

Williams has announced that this
season, his 34th on the sideline, will
be his last, occasionally even he has a
hard time believing that.
At times, he admitted, Im still thinking about
what were going to do next year: Next year, weve
got to do this. Next year I wont be in charge. I dont
know what were going to do.
Nor can he be completely sure whats going to
happen this fall, though there are the usual suspicions that the Barons will be right in the middle of
a crowded picture in Section Two that if they do
not win it, they will have a sizable say in who does.
About the offense: Tony Staffieri steps in at
quarterback, after starting exactly one game last
year the District Three championship game
against Bishop McDevitt, for an injured Colin Fry.
Staffieri, who was knocked out of that 48-7 loss with a
broken collarbone, did see action in 10 other games,
and according to Williams made impressive strides
in the offseason.
I think, the coach said, he can be one of the best
quarterbacks weve ever had.
Its an honor for him to say that, said Staffieri,
a senior. Weve had so many great quarterbacks at
Manheim. Its pressure, but Im excited to see if I can
live up to that.
There have already been hints that he can. The
Barons won a seven-on-seven tournament at Berwick over the summer, and saw two new receivers,
Tucker Ford and Zach Sylvester, emerge after Dan
Wiederrecht suffered a shoulder injury while play-

Tony Staffieri is the Barons starting quarterback

after a baptism by fire at the end of last season.
ing Legion baseball an injury that will cause him
to miss an indeterminate amount of time this fall.
The Barons must also replace running backs
Marc Royer and Ian Hanselman, who combined to
rush for over 3,000 yards last season. Donegal transfer Tyler Martin is a candidate, as is Damon Camacho. Wiederrecht will also likely see some time there,
when he returns.
The line figures to once again be a strength. Chad
Zunich, the sections Offensive Lineman of the Year
and Lineman of the Year in 2013, moves from guard
to center. Tackle Hugh Montgomery is also back.
About the defense: Justin Moreno had 119
tackles and was the sections Linebacker of the Year
in 13, but is thoroughly unimpressed with himself.
Last year is last year, he said. Im just trying to
be better than last year. I know I have to step up as a
leader, not only off the field but on the field. It will be
a different aspect for me.
Wiederrecht, who doubles as a defensive back,
would be the only other returning starter on this side
of the ball, though several players Zunich, Brock
Fittery and Jared Greene on the line, and Craig
McKee and Sam Martin at linebacker saw time.
Also in the mix is tackle Bjorn Lindmark, a
300-pound transfer from Sweden, and linebacker
Gunnar Royer, whose older brother Dakota starred
for Central a few years back.
Intangibles: Pretty obvious.
Its kind of weird to think this will be the last
team Coach Williams will have, Staffieri said. We
want to try our best to make it a great season for

Moreno & Zunich: Ready for season of impact

BY ED GRUVER
Sports Writer
egruver@lnpnews.com
Chad
Zunich
ne is a bruising
fullback/linebacker,
a throwback, Manheim Central coach
Mike Williams said, to the
days of Dan Kreider and
Jason Parmer.
The other is a two-way
lineman, an intelligent Mike
Byrne-type and also, Williams
added, a big ol bear.
Justin Moreno and Chad
Zunich are returning stars
for the Section Two champion
Barons. Theyre also Division
I prospects. On what level
they continue their respective
academic and athletic careers
will depend largely on their
play this fall.
That they have the physical
gifts to play at the next level
is apparent. Moreno is 6-foot
and 238 pounds; Zunich 6-3,
310. What may not be readily
apparent to some are the subtle
strategies they blend with their
size and skill.
Middle linebacker and
center are two of the more
mentally demanding positions
in football. Strength and quickness are not the only attributes
required. As the middle man
in the respective offensive and
defensive sets, the center and
middle linebacker are responsible for recognizing opponents formations and making
the correct call.
Speed-reading schemes
requires intelligence and an
understanding of the game.

him.

to-do list is long. The Barons
must get their new skill-
Moreno and Zunich will be

handling those chores fulltime
for the first time. Moreno split
play-calling duties last season
with fellow backer Ian Hanselman. Before switching to
center, Zunich started at guard
last fall and was a tackle before
that.
Theyve been working with
Baron coaches on the fine
points of play-calling, all the
while adding an extra 10-15
pounds of bulk apiece. As
Moreno and Zunich both told
a visitor to a recent practice,
theyre intent on bringing both
brains and brawn to the game,
playing their positions with
what may best be described as
brute skill.
A three-year starter, Moreno
remembers making the move
from the JV to the varsity.
The transition, he said,
smiling at the memory, was
big.
He praised his coaches, particularly position coach Tom
Getz and defensive coordinator
John Brubaker, for speeding
said transition. Moreno knows
that in another year hell be
making a similar move, from
position kids up to speed on offense, and rebuild the defense.
Still, it would be foolish to
think they cannot contend.
Final word: The hardest thing is your ego. Youre
used to being the head coach. I
picture a big balloon full of air.
Im letting the air out slowly,
Williams said, on retirement.
CONGRATS
COACH
WILLIAMS
on a great career!
high school to college. He also

knows hes got work to do
before then.
Im definitely taking it one
day at a time, he said.
Not surprising, considering his responsibilities in the
classroom and on the field. Of
the latter he says its a matter
of reading my keys, playing
positional football.
He watches film before and
after games. And one thing
about the eye in the sky, he
said, is that it shows whos doing their homework.
You can see, he said, who
watches film.
You can also see whos in
condition. Size and strength are
key factors and theyre not neglected in the Barons scheme
of things.
The weight room, Moreno
said, is a big thing.
Last fall he was used on
offense primarily as a blocking back for Hanselman, a
220-pound power back who
gouged out 1,193 yards and 20
touchdowns, and Marc Royer,
who gashed opponents for
2,172 yards and 24 scores. The
two seniors were the Mr. Inside

and Mr. Outside of the L-L, one
of the best backfield tandems
in Centrals storied history.
And there was Moreno
helping lead the way. Friends
called him Ramrod for his
straight-ahead power blocking. Williams called his third
guard hybrid a full-guard or
guard-back.
Moreno will see time at
fullback, a position he played
when he was younger. Williams
believes Moreno combines the
power of Hanselman with the
slashing style of Joe Gruber, a
1,600-yard runner in 2009 when
the Barons went to the state
title game.
Be it on offense or defense,
Morenos resounding hits rouse
his teammates.
Hes a great influence on
us, Zunich said. Its reassuring to have him back there (at
linebacker/fullback).
Its just as reassuring for
Baron ball-carriers to have
Zunich among those fronting
their charge. Not only is he
big and strong, Zunich is agile
as well. And that agility goes
beyond his physical skills. His
ability to read fronts and make
the correct line calls attest to a
quick mind as well.
In our system, Williams
said, the center has to be our
smartest player.
Zunich said hes learned that
playing center is a lot more
mental than people realize.

Working with position coach

Dave Hahn has helped Zunich
make the transition from
tackle to guard to center.
Coach Hahn knows a lot
and brings a lot of intensity
to practice, he said. Were
always learning from him.
One thing Zunich learned
the past couple of years is the
difference in playing offensive
tackle, where youre dealing
with quick guys on the perimeter, and guard, where its more
about power and strength.
He seems to prefer the latter.
I like to put my hand in the
ground and go.
He will do that on defense
as well, and he pointed out the
difference between the two
positions.
On offense, youre trying to
keep (defenders) against your
body, he said. On defense,
youre trying to shed the blockers.
Other than that he sees a
basic similarity.
Aggression, he said, is
key to being able to play on the
line.
The fact that this is the final
season at Central for this group
of seniors, and for Williams as
Baron boss, adds fuel to their
fire.
I want to be the best player
I can be for the team and the
community, said Zunich. And
knowing this is Coach Williams
last season is pushing all of us
to be better.

Consistency, unity among

players should spark wins
BY DAVE BYRNE
Sports Writer
dbyrne@lnpnews.com
o, the subject of Lampeter-Strasburg

football film study in 2013 was not Dr.
Jeykll and Mr. Hyde.
It only seemed that way.
Back-to-back nonleague losses at the start of the
season were followed by four straight Section Two
victories.
Followed by three straight losses in the section
and a closing victory for a 5-5 record and an invitation to the District Three Class AAA playoffs.
Where L-S lost a first-round match to Lancaster
Catholic, 49-21.
Looking for a reason for the pendulum-like swings
tween success and misfortune?
I dont think we were as united as we are this
year, C/ILB Grayson Hirst said.
We werent ourselves, said Pioneers coach John
Manion, who attributed graduation losses from the
previous year to leaving a young squad unsure of
their roles and of each other.
A year later, a year older, the Pioneers are set to
take on a Section Two schedule that is, if anything,
exponentially tougher with Lancaster Catholic
and Garden Spot replacing Conestoga Valley and
Ephrata.
As its always been, we go into the year looking
to compete for the section title, Manion said at this
years L-L media gathering.
I think we have the talent for it, but if you look

around the room, theres no weak spot. Were going
to have to be able to handle that week-to-week grind.
About the offense: Its loaded.
And it begins with junior quarterback Collin
Bear Shank, starting his third season at the helm.
He threw for 1,992 yards and 16 TDs last year and
ran for 361 yards and another six scores.
Obviously, Manion declared, hes established.
Also back in the Pioneers hybrid Wing-T is top
rusher Ross Souders (63 carries, 364 yards, 3 TDs).
Souders also caught 21 balls for 256 yards and three
scores, fourth on the list behind returning receiver
Jason Sindorf (11-258, 3).
I love to run the ball, I love to receive (it), said
Souders, who does not expect more, or fewer, responsibilities this season. Whatever coach calls, he
said, Ill do it.
The intricacies of the offense depend on pinpoint
execution at the line of scrimmage. L-S is well-staffed
there returning Hirst at center, Merek Hilliker and
Andrew Buchanan at guard and Dan Kreider at one
of the tackles.
About the defense: Buchanan and Hirst anchor
the defense from their inside linebacker positions.
Putting his finger on last seasons defensive woes,
Buchanan observed, We werent good at tackling.
We over-pursued, running right past the ball.
We were either too aggressive, or not aggressive
enough, Manion said. We never found that mix that

makes a defense solid. It was hard to

put a finger on it all year. Or else we
wouldve fixed it.
Hirst said that it centered on trusting
the guy next to you, as well as in front of,
and behind. And earning their trust.
Kreider, Hilliker and Pete Tollinger
are part of a potential five-man rotation
on the interior line. Sindorf and Souders
moor the secondary.

Getting a fresh start with

commitment, toughness
BY BURT WILSON
Sports Writer
bwilson@lnpnews.com
ew coach Tony Cox, taking over for

the embattled Joe Pearson, will try
and turn around a program that has
just one winning season in the last 10
years.
Were going to build from the ground up, Cox
said. You cant just start at the top, youve got to
start from the bottom. I had to reach out to the
midget program. Theyre going to do the same thing
were doing on offense and defense. Thats how to
get a program started.
Cox, a graduate of Indiana State, comes from
South Carolina, where he was an assistant coach at
Berkley High School in Moncks Corner. For the last
eight seasons, he served as offensive coordinator at
the school, which has won five state championships.
Weve really emphasized the weight room this
summer, said Cox, who also served as strength
coach at Berkley. Weve worked very hard. Ive
made things as tough as possible with the running,
the conditioning, the workouts.
Theyve done a great job. These kids, about 30 of
them, have been coming in (to the weight room) at 6
in the morning. Theyve become the backbone of the
team. Theyve been buying into it. And it makes the
younger kids coming into the program see what it
takes to commit and be successful.
About the offense: Junior Noah McCardell will
return at quarterback to lead a ball-possession, option offense installed by Cox.
Its been tough but Ive been doing my homework, said McCardell, who ran the Wing-T last
season.
A year ago, he completed 26 of 73 passes totaling
294 yards with one TD and seven picks.
Junior Doug Hassel (89 carries, 549 yards) is the
leading running back this season.
Well be running the ball, Cox said, and throwing off the option. My biggest thing is keeping the
defense off the field. So as much as we can move the
ball, the better off well be keeping the defense off
the field.
About the defense: The Mules will run a 3-4 defense led by nose guard Bo Spiller. A senior, Spiller
led the team with 75 stops last season, including 53
solo tackles. On the pass rush, he was credited with
7 sacks and 11 hurries.
Theres definitely a lot of excitement on the
team, Spiller said. We cant wait to get on the
field.
Defensive end Curtis Herr, who had 29 tackles
last season, is also back. Were all considering this
a fresh start, said Herr, a senior. No one is worrying about the past. Were 0-0.
Senior Vincent Ortiz, who made 37 tackles in
2013, will once again be in the secondary.
Last season, these guys had to go both ways,
Cox said. My plan is to have 11 guys going on offense and 11 on defense so they dont get burnt out.
Intangibles: The Mules will have to replace
Toby Kreider, who was their leading rusher (81,
carries, 730 yards), leading receiver (six catches, 53
yards) and had five interceptions on defense.
Key to the season: Toughness is my biggest
goal right now, Cox said, to put the toughest footPlease see SOLANCO, page 27

ou dont have to be a
contestant on a quiz
show to be spoon-fed
the answer to this
question:
Has any L-L League football
team undergone more change this
past offseason than Lancaster
Catholic?
Short answer? No.
The two-time state champions
have moved from Section One to
Section Two and will take up residence among foes both familiar
(Manheim Central, LampeterStrasburg, Cocalico) and unfamiliar (Garden Spot, Elizabethtown,
Solanco, Lebanon).
On top of that, Crusaders boss
Bruce Harbach has enlisted the
services of former Section Two
head coaches Jim Cantafio and
Gerry Novak to be his offensive
and defensive coordinators, respectively, on a dynamic coaching
staff.
I think they both enjoy being
coordinators, Harbach said.
And now I can enjoy (being the
head coach) a lot more.
Harbach has also added new
position coaches in Dave Beck
(linebackers), Julian Williams (defensive line) and Pete Anderson
(defensive backfield).
Catholics undergoing one
more transition as well.
Were definitely going to have
a different style of football,
senior wide receiver/cornerback/
return specialist Jared Kramp
said. Were going to have more
speed and quickness.
About the offense: Cantafio, long regarded as one of the
leading quarterback coaches in
Pennsylvania and a top offensive mind, joins with Harbach in
overseeing the QB competition
between sophomores Jordan
Scott and Bryan Downey.
Other than that, the Crusaders
multiple spread offense appears

low senior Matt Mixel at tackle.
Sheedy (6-5, 260) and Thomas (64, 270) power a unit that averages
235 per man.
Seniors Nassir Weaver and
Christian Kemp team with juniors
Dajzon Garcia and Kurt Harnish
in the backfield, the latter being
penciled in at fullback. Kemp will
also see time at receiver, along
with seniors Kramp and Darius
Goudy and sophs Christian Sweigert and Ricky Poillon. Goudy
will also line up at tight end, along
with junior Cole Cassel.
About the defense: Sheedy

and Cassel start at the end positions, with Thomas, Rodriguez
and senior Shahram Abolfathzadeh rotating at tackle in a 4-3
front.
Goudy, Harnish, Mixel and
senior Joe McShea combine to
handle linebacker duties. Kramp,
Weaver and Garcia will share
time at cornerback. Downey and
junior Andrew Bertz are the safeties.

younger players and their ability to
adapt to varsity football, and how
well the offense and defense adjust
to the schemes and teachings of
Cantafio and Novak. Finally, theres
the gauntlet that is Section Two this
season, where almost every game
will carry the intensity of a playoff
game.
Final word: This (move to Section Two) will definitely be a step
forward for us. We can start new
rivalries, Sheedy said.
They (Cantafio and Novak) are
definitely bringing a lot of knowledge and experience with them,
Kramp said.
The offensive and defensive
changes are for the better. We have
the skill and the talent, Weaver said.

very team has to deal with loss

following graduation, but no
team has been impacted more
by commencement than Elizabethtown.
Almost every one of lasts starters has
moved on, including quarterback Tyler
Cottle (76-153, 1,212 yards, 10 TDs) and
three-year starting lineman Austin Brinser,
who had a team-high 3.5 sacks.
I think we have three or four guys who
have any type of Friday night experience,
said coach Mike Cottle. Were definitely
going to need some guys to step up and fill
some positions. I need those guys that are
back to really lead this team and get everybody involved, to get those guys to practice
hard so that Friday nights are easier.
About the offense: The running game
will be the key for the Bears.
Despite losing leading rushers Arthur
Quaye (96-446, 3 TDs) and Derrick Fake
(44-296, 4 TDs), Elizabethtown does return
Gabe Fuhrman and Armani Mongo, who
combined for 384 yards and six touchdowns
without being the featured backs.
The Bears will not be able to run the ball
if the offensive line cannot make the blocks
up front. It will be up to Zach Semple and
Shane Volchko to anchor the line and help
the offense put up more impressive stats
than last season.
About the defense: On the other side
of the ball, Elizabethtown is in complete
rebuilding mode.
Were really going to preach that
youve got to fly to the ball and youve got
to tackle, Cottle said. Were going to look
for the 11 best guys and then find positions
for them. The 11 guys that hustle and tackle
are going to play and then well find posiPlease see BEARS, page 33

Bryce Merkt, who led the team with

49 tackles last season, gives the Bears
some experience on defense.
tions for them to fill that in.

There are a lot of question marks, but Semple and
Volchko will look to claim spots at tackle and lineman,
respectively. Senior linebacker Bryce Merkt, who led
the team with 49 tackles and finished second with 1.5
sacks, also returns.
Intangibles: With such a youthful squad, someone
will have to assume the leadership role and Semple
believes the veterans are up for the task.
We have to have good leadership and then the
younger players should follow, said the senior. We
are setting the example, we are the example. Once
they see that, they should know, OK, weve got to play
as good as the older guys do and it should come.
Key to the season: Its going to be a pretty
heated competition during the next two weeks, Cottle
said. There are a couple of kids that have stood out so
far this summer, but I dont know if I want to mention
them or not because I dont want them to think theyve
got a starting job. There are a handful of guys that
have stepped up that I think are going to really have a
good year.
So many positions are up for grabs during camp
that it will be hard to tell what type of team the Bears
will field this year. Elizabethtown will need Cottles
early observations to pan out to have a chance with the
increased competition in Section Two thanks to the additions of Lancaster Catholic and Garden Spot.
Final word: Donegal, Fuhrman, Semple and Volchko answered in unison when asked if there is a game
they are looking forward to.
Theyre basically in our back yard and whats really better than a backyard game? Fuhrman said of
the rivalry with the defending section champs.
Its always the first game of the year so it sets the
tone for the rest of the season, Volchko added.

ocalico was the talk of the league last

year, and while the buzz has not yet
worn off, the topic of conversation certainly has changed.
Weve heard a lot about how weve lost all of our
seniors and how last year was our year, said Jake
Keifer. People are like Youre not going to be good,
you lost all your talent.
True, some big names have hung up their jerseys
starting quarterback and Section Two Defensive
Back of the Year Jhet Janis, All-Star wide receiver
Spencer Moser and Defensive Lineman of the Year
Casey Kerschner, just to name a few but you cannot count the Eagles out yet.
I dont know if you replace them, but you hope
the kids that are coming through just keep getting
better and better, coach Dave Gingrich said of the
most recent Cocalico alums.
I think we have a good crew of seniors this year
and the goal is to improve from last year to this year
and then they develop their own name. Maybe next
year well be saying were graduating the Jake Keifers or the John Frys or the Devon Delpianos.
About the offense: It will be hard for Cocalico
to replicate the production of Janis and Moser.
Each scored a team-high 22 touchdowns, while
Moser rushed for 1,330 yards on 143 carries.
It may take some time for Dante Haines to find
his footing under center, but while he is learning,
the junior will have a veteran line for protection.
Anchoring the line are three returning starters:
Keifer at left tackle, Brady Maxwell at left guard
and four-year starter Fry at right guard.
About the defense: The Eagles gained a reputation for attacking the ball last season, but they
may have to change the gameplan given that they
need to replace their entire back seven.

Cocalico will be without its leaders in interceptions (Janis with eight) and sacks (Kerschner, 7.5).
Tucker Lescoe, who had team-highs in caused
fumbles (four) and recoveries (three), will also not
be back.
All four in the secondary, our three linebackers
all have to be replaced and I think that right now
well have to settle with our experience up front trying to lead us early on in the season, said Gingrich.
Watch defensive end Stewart Martin, a senior
who made the most of the offseason by improving
his strength and athleticism. Based on what he has
seen so far, Gingrich believes Martin could surprise
a lot of people.
Intangibles: Some teams have all the power,
but weve got the speed, said Delpiano. Some
teams just cant keep up with us.
Key to the season: Cocalico was supposed to
move down to Section Three this season, but the
Eagles worked out a deal to stay and now have to
face what Gingrich calls murderers row.
To have continued success in a section that now
includes perennial playoff contenders Lancaster
Catholic and Garden Spot, Cocalico will have to
get its new kids up to speed quickly and hope the
veterans have as much of an impact as those who
have departed.
Weve got to try to stay healthy, said Gingrich.
I dont think we have as much depth this year as
weve had the past few years, so I think depth and
just getting all on the same page. We have a lot of
new faces and we had to replace a lot, so the sooner
we can mesh together, the better off well be.
Final word: Im getting pretty tired of hearing
(about the players lost to graduation), said Keifer.
Im just ready to make a name for ourselves. We
have the talent necessary to make a good name for
ourselves so Im excited to get to that and see how
we perform this year.

Cocalicos signature play keeps opponents guessing
BY KEVIN FREEMAN
Sports Writer
kfreeman@lnpnews.com
To get an idea how his team might fare on any

football Friday night, all Dave Gingrich has to do at
the start of the game is to watch his offense for two or
three snaps.
You can be sure that of those several snaps, at least
one but probably two and maybe all three will be
the Inside Veer, run either straight or with a variation.
The play is the staple of our offense, said Cocalicos coach. If we cant establish that play, we usually
arent very successful in any game.
The Eagles Inside Veer is a triple-option play,
designed to give the offense three choices in moving
the ball forward. The play forces the defense to make
tough choices.
The defense has to watch three things: the quarterback, the fullback and the pitch. Cocalico uses it on
every down and distance, although its not designed as
a big-gain play. Yet, it can pick up big yards.
Last season, about 30 of those plays went for 20 or
more yards, Gingrich said. You have some explosive
capability with that play.
The offensive players line up in a wing slot with a
tailback to the left and a slot receiver to the right. The
fullback is behind the quarterback.
On the snap, the quarterback steps to his right and
starts reading the defenders. The QB will hand off the
ball to the fullback, unless he sees that a defensive end
can tackle the fullback.
If thats the case, the quarterback keeps the ball
and eyes the linebacker. He has two choices. He can
keep the ball and cut up field or he can pitch it to the
tailback who had lined up in the slot behind him to his
left.
That linebacker has to make a choice. Does he try
and tackle the quarterback or opt to stay with the
potential pitch target?
There is precision to the play in that the fullbacks
aim point is one of the legs of the right guard.
The aim point has to be precise, Gingrich said.

Our offense is a precision-type offense. If the aim
points are off a little bit or if the mesh isnt good, its
not an effective play.
The blockers have some flexibility as far as what
they do. The tight end must block from the inside linebacker to the safety. The offensive linemen scoop on
the backside, basically cutting off the penetration.
The Cocalico staff was introduced to the play by
Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson when Johnson
coached at Georgia Southern.
Certainly a key to the play is the quarterback,
who has to be tough, fairly athletic, smart and a good
decision-maker.
There are times when a defense will make a great
play, tackling the fullback or will be on our quarterback or be on the pitch, Gingrich said. But there are
also times when the defense is a fraction of a second

off. If we run it effectively and they are not disciplined to do the right thing, we can make big plays.
One might think that if Cocalico runs the play so
often and opponents know this, why cant it be stopped
more times than not?
Because if teams see the play just once a season
and have just one week to prepare for it, the play can
be tough to defend. Additionally, its difficult to mirror
the play with an opponents scout team.
Plus, we make changes, then the defense makes
changes and we adjust, Gingrich said. For instance,
we might change a blocking scheme. Our coaches are
very good at coaching it. If theres a problem, we have
answers for those problems.
It may seem like a vanilla play but there are a lot
of different toppings you can add to it.

he tendency might be to think that

Lebanon will be lost this season without
Mark Pyles and Jeremy De La Cruz.
After all, at quarterback, Pyles completed 185 passes, 32 going for touchdowns. He also
rushed for 1,084 yards.
At receiver, De La Cruz caught 73 of Pyles
passes for more than 1,123 yards, 12 of those passes
going for TDs.
Their impact on defense Pyles at defensive
back and De La Cruz at linebacker was just as
substantial, the two finishing first and second in
tackles.
The duo keyed the Cedars resurrection from an
0-10 team in 2012 to a team that went 7-4 and made
the District Three playoffs.
So, the absence of Pyles and De La Cruz is significant, no doubt.
Those graduation losses, however, are tempered
by the volume of talent that returns for the Cedars.
Last seasons rotations in places like the offensive and defensive lines and at receiver produced
enough experience for the team to be comfortable
heading into the season without its biggest impact
players from a season ago.
About the offense: Four of five of the teams
down linemen return, including Lucas Imm.
Weve never had four returning linemen before, said Lebanon coach Gerry Yonchiuk.
While De La Cruz piled up the receptions, four
other returning players Nick Negron (34 catches,
760 yards, 13 TDs), Luke Eisenhour, Xavier Baez
and Jeronimo Rodriguez all were in double figures in catches.
While Pyles generally called his own number in
the running attack, Eisenhour (43 carries, 232 yards)
returns with some experience.
Having experienced linemen and receivers ought
to make a difference with the Cedars breaking in
a new quarterback. The camp battle came down to
three players: sophomore Cody Kissinger, senior
Justin Martin and junior Omel Francois.
Francois play in the backfield may be limited to
wildcat plays. Otherwise, hell be at receiver.
All three bring something different to the table,
Yonchiuk said.
About the defense: The Cedars will have much
the same experience on the defensive line as they
do on the offensive line. Again, a rotation of six or
seven players up front has given the team experience there.
Elijah Navarro takes over for Pyles at inside linebacker. Erik Peiffer will play some outside backer
and be a key for the special teams unit.
The defensive backfield is anchored by Alex Maldonado Hernandez and Khaleem Garynewkirk.
This is the first time in my nine years at Lebanon that we have two guys who can play shutdown
Luke Eisenhour gives the Cedars some experience at running back after rushing for 232 yards
on 43 carries last season.
man coverage, Yonchiuk said of Maldonado Hernandez and Garynewkirk.
Although the Cedars compiled seven wins last
season, they averaged giving up 28 points in those
wins. Yonchiuk is hoping experience and speed will
slice that number this season.
Intangibles: The transformation of last seasons
team into this seasons. The ability to stay at last
seasons level without dropping back and doing it
through a beefed-up Section Two schedule.
Key to the season: The play of the quarterback, whether its Kissinger, Martin or Francois.
The Cedars have experience everywhere except at
QB, and while whoever fills the role will not have to
duplicate Pyles effort of a season ago, he will still be
the triggerman.
This season, the quarterback will have to manage the games, not win them like Mark did, Yonchiuk said.
Final word: We need to show that they werent
the whole team. We have to show what we can do.

25 Things
Continued from 17
Cox, who has been an assistant at South Carolinas

Berkeley High, a longtime
power that has won four state
championships and produced
four NFL players.
Coxs wife is from Rising
Sun, Maryland, just about 20
miles down the road from
Quarryville.
I have three boys, and
were very family-oriented,
he said. I love the area, and
the kids have done everything
weve asked them to do.

Rob Wildasin, Cedar Crests new head

coach, played at Lafayette and has coached as an
assistant at Annville-Cleona,
Susquehanna Twp., and in
Crests resurgent basketball
program.
Still, he admitted, I didnt
sleep for a week and a half,
after getting the job.
The reason? The Falcons
must largely rebuild the offensive and defensive lines,
but they have two of the
leagues most gifted, highceiling skill-position players
in WR Evan Horn and RB Damon Edwards.
He has some ideas.
Its going to have to be a
little, Wheres Waldo? with
them, Wildasin said. Its
still a spread offense Im
not saying Im Chip Kelly or
anything.

MAKE AN IMPACT
Mike Choi, the new

boss at Pequea Valley, had been the head coach
at Great Valley in Malvern.
Theres an opportunity at
Pequea Valley to truly make
an impact, Choi said. I grew
up in a small town (Newton,
Massachusetts), and I think
theres always a pull to go
back to that.
Choi brought all but two
of his Great Valley assistants
with him. The roster numbers
are up. Unlike last year, there
is a youth program, with 37
kids, that will have an entry in
the Red Rose midget league.
Id love to be part of
something where people look
back and say, Thats when
they turned it around, Choi
said.

WHERES WALDO?
NOT REAL FOOTBALL
In the draw-your-own
conclusions
dept.,
Manheim Central won a 7-on7 tournament at Berwick in

July that included many of
the top traditional powers
in Pennsylvania (Berwick,
Mount Carmel, Southern Columbia) and St. Josephs Prep
of Philadelphia, last years
Class AAAA state champ.
Yes, SJP had John Reid,
the blue-chip defensive back
and Penn State commit whos
in the discussion for best
player in the state. Central
beat Prep twice, in pool play
and for the championship.
It wasnt real football,
cautioned Williams, whose
favorite part of the event
was a long chat with Gabe Infante, Preps highly-regarded
coach.
He wanted to know what
things you run into over the
course of (35) years.
14
ALSO NOT REAL
15
BEST IN PA.
On the other hand,

Central was reportedly held off the scoreboard
by Penn Manor in a scrimmage last Saturday, in which
the Comets scored twice.
Scrimmages arent real
football either, of course.
St. Joes might be the
best team in Pennsylvania regardless of class.
It was thought to be slightly down last year and was
beaten three times. But the
Hawks jelled late, return a
ton and are showing up in all
the national rankings.
The Hawks dont play an
in-state opponent until October. They host Don Bosco
Prep, the perennial New Jersey powerhouse, Sept. 6.
16
BEST IN AMERICA
Best team in America? Heres a vote for

Bishop Gorman of
Las Vegas, which has won five
straight Nevada big-school
titles and has at least 10 players with FBS offers.
Included are all-America
TE Alize Jones, a UCLA commit, and WR Cordell Broadus,
who counts USC, UCLA and
Notre Dame among his offers
and may not actually need the
free ride. Hes Snoop Doggs
son.
17
THE ODYSSEY
High school football

players arent often granted an extra season.
Thats usually a college thing.
But there has been nothing
usual about the odyssey of
Manheim Township FB/LB
Tucker Evans.
The story begins with an
ankle injury sustained while
playing lacrosse in the summer of 2011.
A huge hematoma developed. There were two surgeries, injuries to a leg and hip,
everything constantly re-aggravated by the endless contact of football.
Last season, in the week
between the first and second
scrimmage, Evans temperature rose to 105. He could
barely walk. An MRI revealed an infection that was
septic, meaning it was flowing through the bloodstream.
A doctor at Hershey Med
Center told Mark Evans,
Tuckers dad and Townships
head coach, that his son had
to have emergency surgery,
ASAP, or he was going to die.
There was a hard mass
a giant hematoma hidden
within the body in Tuckers

hip. The surgery lasted five
hours. By the time Evans recovery was complete he had
not only missed the entire
football season, but half a
year of school.
He was granted a final
football season by the District Three committee in
November. Hes 6-foot-3, 235
pounds, back to full strength.
After the surgery, doctors,
astounded, told Mark Evans
that his son was an unbelievably tough kid.
I told him I knew that,
Evans said.

NEW RULES
Rules changes for

2014 outlined by the
National Federation of State
High School Associations and
adopted by PIAA are heavily focused on player safety.
Targeting is now defined as,
an act of taking aim and ini-
tiating contact to an opponent

above the shoulders with the
helmet, forearm, hand, fist,
elbow or shoulders. It will be
penalized as illegal personal
contact.
Defenseless player has
also been defined as ... a
player who, because of his
physical position and focus of
concentration, is especially
vulnerable to injury.
Also, roughing the passer
will now carry a penalty of 15
yards and an automatic first
down.

ntering his second

year as a head coach,
James Burke has dedicated his offseason to
one main objective for turning the tide on Columbias 3-7
performance a year ago.
From day one, Burke said,
weve been really focusing on
developing a run game.
The Crimson Tide picked up
a Section Three-low 1,321 yards
on the ground in 2013, a number
Burke wants to improve.
Its a work in progress,
Burke said. We did a lot of sevenon-sevens this summer where we
competed against the big schools,
including Manheim Central. Every one of those games, we were
right there.
About the offense: The fortification of Columbias running
game begins up front, where the
Crimson Tide lost guards Andres
Munoz and Vanyel Peterson, a
Second-Team All-Star, to graduation.
They were really stalwarts up
front, Burke said, but we have
three coming back.
Nicholas Schreiner, Thomas
Phillips and Robert Jackson return as starting linemen to anchor
an offense switching from the
pistol formation to a varied look.
Were not going to line up
against anybody to run teams
over, Burke said. Thats not our
game plan.
Instead, Burke hopes the
cohesion of the offensive unit,
a respectable running game
and starting quarterback Kyle
Warfels three years of experience catalyze more big plays.
The real goal of our team,
Burke said, is to get our athletes
the ball in space. We werent effective enough in that last year.
One of the returning athletes
is First-Team Section Three AllStar Daeshawn Mcilwain, who
snagged seven touchdowns and
led the section with 20.3 yards per
catch.
It doesnt matter if you make
Columbia coach James Burke is transitioning the offense from a

pistol look to a multiple look, which includes a more efficient run
game.
a 50-yard pass in the air, Warfel
said, or if you throw it 5 yards
and the receiver runs for 45 more
yards. Just get them the ball and
let them do what they do best.
About the defense: The Tide
returns to its base 4-2-5 defense
with several backs, including
Austin Roberts, to provide coverage on the outside.
Columbia surrendered 309.3
yards per game on average in
2013, but ranked first against the
pass, holding opponents to 1,050
yards through the air.
With the athletes that we
have, Burke said, it gives us a
little more freedom to play more
man-to-man and to keep guys in
the box for the run game.
Intangibles: Burke already
feels further ahead in his second year with the experience he
picked up in his inaugural campaign as a head coach.
No matter how much you
plan and do, Burke said, theres
always going to be unexpected
things that ruin your plan. The
important thing is, how do you
respond to that?
He also wants to emphasize accountability across the board.
Last year, Burke said, we
heard a lot of, It wasnt my fault.
It wasnt me. I emphasize, with
the line especially, youre five
together. If one guy makes a mistake, thats on all of you.
Crimson Tide looks to establish
its run game and find an offensive
balance, giving its playmakers
more space and big-gain potential.
Final word: (The sevenon-seven drills gave) us a lot of
confidence, knowing that we can
go up against big schools like
Manheim Central and Township.
We either beat them or gave them
a good run and stayed with them
to the end. Were a little town,
and theyre huge school districts.
Theyre going to state titles and
state playoffs, and were right
there, putting our nose in and giving them a run for their money. It
definitely gives us confidence for
the season, Schreiner said.

ast season was a rough one for

Ephrata, which went 0-10 on
the gridiron.
Looking for a fresh start, head
coach Scott Shelley is installing his son,
Adrian, as the offensive coordinator.
It will be very different, Scott Shelley
said.
Different, but more wide open and fun,
the coach hopes. The Mountaineers also
will have different opponents this season,
as the team competes for the first time in
Section Three. Shelley believes the move
will make his team more competitive.
It is not athleticism, but numbers,
he said. These teams (in Section Three)
have more of the same numbers that we
have at this point. It is getting that sense
of pride, confidence back.
About the offense: Shelleys face
lit up when talking about his son. Adrian
Shelley, who was a standout at Ephrata
as a wide receiver and safety, is now a
respected baseball coach for the Mounts
in addition to his new football duties.
The offense will be run similar to the
way his son coaches baseball, Scott Shelley said with an emphasis on creativity
and stressing fundamentals.
We put in an offense that allows us to
have options and we think will be fun for
the kids, the elder Shelley said.Its going
to be fun for the parents.
Jerrad Malmer, a junior, and Jory
Hagen, a sophomore, are vying for the
starting quarterback job. Hagen is the
grandson of former Ephrata head coach
Larry Hagen.
Junior Randy Barrett is the most experienced running back the Mounts have.
The offensive line lacks experience, but

Ephrata
Continued from 40
is a close-knit group, Shelley said. Juniors Cordell

Moyer, Peter Ehrhart and Ryan Borchert will anchor
the front.
About the defense: The Mounts are keeping
things simple: Dont think, just read and react. Shelley
wants his linebackers to be like running backs, flying
around the field.
Barrett and fellow juniors Hunter Lehman and
Zach Lorah are keys at linebacker. Malmer, a safety,
and Tyler Mentzer, a sophomore defensive back, are
also keys.
Intangibles: New guy Mike Caraballo, a senior
transfer from McCaskey, could be a nice addition.
Caraballo, who was a backup catcher for Adrian Shelleys baseball team, adds a speed element.
Key to the season: If Scott Shelley could change
one thing from last year, it would be the teams scrimmage last summer.
I would not have played Blake Weaver and Jeremy
Kachel in the Lancaster Catholic scrimmage, so then
they wouldnt have gotten hurt, he said. Id have
them for the whole year, maybe. Two of our best players and we lost them in the blink of an eye.
It sure took the wind out of my sails. They were
such a big part of the team, as players, as leaders,
and we had to replace (them) with guys who had not

played since midget football. It was a devastating blow
for us. You just dont replace players like that. By the
time it was all said and done, we were down to 25 players. Injuries were a big factor.
Final word: The Mounts have 17 players who
gained some experience last year, and juniors and
sophomores are the core of the team.
A couple of those guys are two-year varsity players
who havent started. There are no returning starters.
The key to success will be how quickly the players
catch on to the new concepts.
Having the kids be able to understand what we
are trying to do on a play-by-play basis, Shelley said.
Once they understand the concept of what each play
is like, the sooner that happens, the better well be. If
that takes us till next year, then it does, because we
have all of them back.
Go
Mountaineers!

ast season, the Donegal Indians went 5-1 in league play.

However, they finished with
a 6-4 overall record.
With that knowledge, the answer
Donegal coach Jeff Polites gave about
what he would change from last year
makes a lot of sense.
Our approach to the nonleague
schedule, he said without hesitation. We still had some questions
with personnel coming out of our two
scrimmages, moving players around up
front.
Last year the Indians were very
inexperienced, with only two returning
starters on either side of the ball.
The challenge became getting guys
in the best spots to be successful. It
took a few weeks into the season to
work out the kinks, before the Indians
got on a roll, ultimately capturing the
Section Three title.
With four guys back at key spots on
both sides of the ball this year and after
a successful summer program, Polites
believes his veterans will help the kids
with inexperience.
About the offense: Connor Ness
returns at quarterback. The senior, who
Connor
was one of the changes made during

We need a quick start,

Polites said. Weve got to
get consistent play from our
offensive group. We like to
control the ball. We like to
control field position. The
quicker we can get into that
mode, the better we are going to be.
Final word: The key
game last year was against
Garden Spot in Week Four.
The Spartans were the popular pick to win the section.
The Indians came into
the game with a great plan
and took away some of the
Spartans strengths to gain a
convincing victory, boosting
the confidence of the inexperienced kids and propelling
the team to a strong finish to
the season.
That was a great week
of preparation for our kids,
Polites said. Great focus.
The kids really bought into
the game plan. That was one
of those times in a coaching
career where you could definitely see a game plan come
into play on a Friday night.
They executed it perfectly.
The kids did things well. We
shut (Garden Spot) down
defensively and it was fun to
watch.
AUGUST 26, 2014 43
Key to the season:
bulldozer, averaging 7.90

yards a carry last season
while collecting 758 yards.
Hes also a technician, Polites said, doing the fundamentals well.
The latter, a converted
tight end, will be a mismatch
coming out of the backfield
at fullback. His coach is
anxious to see defenses try
to tackle Sadler when he gets
into the defensive backfield
with the ball.
About the defense:
Maxwell, who collected 129

tackles (83 solo) at linebacker last season, anchors
a physical group of Indians.
Sadler, who moved from
linebacker to defensive end
last year, became a guy who
shut down the edge of an opponents offense. He tallied
95 tackles (62 solo) and had
11 for a loss.
Intangibles: Polites
said Sadler is the strongest
kid Ive ever coached in the
weight room. A longstanding tradition, Ness said,
is that on the first Friday of
two-a-days the quarterbacks
take the starting offensive
linemen out for pizza at a
local restaurant. It costs the
QBs about $30 each. We
cleaned the place out, Ness
said of this years feast.
To inspire togetherness,
younger players go to a farm

Indians offensive backfield.

more than 100 tackles last season.

Vines and several other returning defensive players will be charged with upgrading the defense and
to expunge from the Vikes thoughts last seasons
back to back losses to Elco and Garden Spot, in
which those teams scored a combined 108 points.
A tackle, Vines will be joined by Josiah Kerstetter up front with Gates, Damian DiAngelis and Randolph at linebacker. Yost will anchor the secondary.
We just need to be more consistent on defense,
Wall said. Last season, we needed to get off the
field when we had a chance. Too many third-and-8s
turned into first downs.
Intangibles: The Vikings wont get discouraged.
After losing those two games by a combined 108
points last season, they rebounded to give Donegal a
game and beat Columbia to finish the season.
They could have packed it in after the Elco and
Garden Spot games, Wall said. But we played our
best two games in our last two games.
Key to the season: The offensive line. It must
give Ray time to throw and enable the team to establish a running game.
Final word: We think that everything were going to accomplish will start up front, Wall said.
ou, too, might feel like the football

gods were against you if you started
the season the way Northern Lebanon
did last year.
Pine Grove, which went on to a 10-1 season, used
a blocked punt in the fourth quarter to set up the
winning score in a 14-7 victory over the Vikings.
In Week Two, Northern Lebanon headed to
overtime with Lebanon, an eventual playoff team,
and scored on its first possession and made the extra
point. On the first play of the Cedars first possession, they snapped the ball over the quarterbacks
head for a loss of seven yards.
Thats a good thing for the Vikings, right?
In the hindsight of a 40-39 loss with the Cedars
scoring a TD and making the two-point conversion
for the win the Vikes felt like that loss on the first
play gave Lebanons receivers more room to run
their crossing routes.
In Northern Lebanons third game, Hamburg
kicked a 27-yard field goal with less than 90 seconds
to play in regulation to win, 24-21.
Thats a lot of freaky ways to lose, Northern Lebanon coach Roy Wall said.
We have a lot of experience coming back
and hopefully were better prepared for those
situations.
About the offense: The Vikings boast
returning experience both in the skill positions and on the offensive line. Isaac Ray (55
for 143, 674 yards, nine TDs) is back to run the
offense for a third season. While he wont be
able to hand off to Derek DiAngelis, the Vikes
leading rusher last season, he can choose from
Dominic Trader, Travis Gates and Mason Yost,
who caught 30 passes last season but shifts to
running back from receiver.
Holes should open and Ray should have time
with the likes of Andrew Fox, a First-Team AllStar, Matt Vines, Damian DiAngelis and tight
end George Thompson on the offensive line.
Having Fox and Vines on the same side of
the offensive line, they are grinders, they can
really move people off the ball, Wall said.
Trader, for one, is anxious to work behind the
experienced line.
Our line should be very good, so our running
game will improve and our passing game should
be better because Isaac will have more time to
throw, he said.
Half the time last season, Isaac was being
rushed because he had a linebacker coming
at him. This year, he should have more time to
make his throws.
About the defense: To label someone
a beast can have negative connotations, but
in football, its a good thing. Thats how Wall
described Vines, around whom the Vikings
defense will be built.
Vikings quarterback Isaac Ray completed 55 of 143
The team lost its top two tacklers, Dylan
Sellers and Derek DiAngelis. Both finished with passes for 674 yards and nine TDs last season.
