AUGUST 22, 2016

Gibsonburg, Eastwood have eyes set on championships When it comes to athletics, schools east of the Maumee River have always been known for not being afraid to be physical on the playing field.

Look at the historic nationally-ranked football teams at Waite in the early to mid20th Century, the Clay teams under legendary coach Ted Federici, and Genoa teams under their legendary coach, Jim Firestone.

Their physical play was often attributed to a work ethic that can only be learned growing up in an east side community.

You see it in the strength of our wrestling programs, our track and field athletes, and our prep football teams. Football remains a staple in this community, as evidenced by our team’s successes from one year ago.

Of 10 local football teams, combine all their records and they finished three games over .500 and won two league championships. Those same two league championship teams qualified for the playoffs. Even Clay, which finished 1-9 overall competing in one of the state’s best, the rugged Three Rivers Athletic Conference, still sees strong roster numbers and there is no better place to enjoy a Friday night than Clay Memorial Stadium. It is one of the better high school stadiums in Northwest Ohio, no doubt, and now with artificial turf, it is even better.

Last year, out of 10 football teams, there were six quarterbacks who passed for over 1,000 yards, including two who passed for over 2,000, and three running backs who ran for 1,000 yards, including one who eclipsed 2,000. However, only two return. One is Clay senior quarterback Josh Kiss (1,520 yards passing), who returns for his third year as a starter.

The other quarterback is Gibsonburg senior Ryan Clark, an Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press first team selection who led the area in completing 135 of 228 passes (59.2 percent) for 2,408 yards and 31 touchdowns. On the other end of those passes is senior Kane Gomez, a first team All-Press wide receiver, who caught 37 passes for 536 yards (14.5 yards per catch) and six TDs. In the backfield with Clark is senior running back Madison Jaso, who ran for 881 yards on 127 carries (6.9) and 12 TDs, which is most of any returning ball carrier.

Jaso also caught nine passes for 163 yards (18.1) and three scores. Jaso was a second team All-Press running back a year ago.

At Northwood, junior linebacker Trevor Mack led the area with 171 tackles, including 17 for a loss, and he returns as a senior to lead the Rangers’ defense in 2016. Two other local defensive stars, Lake’s Adam Duncan and Gibsonburg’s Mateo Flores, who both graduated, had an astounding eight interceptions apiece last year. It’s numbers like these that draw the attention of college scouts and we are still compiling a long list of last year’s seniors who are going on to play collegiately at some level or another.

However, there is likely to be change at the top this year as defending champi-

ons Lake (Northern Buckeye Conference) and Gibsonburg (Toledo Area Athletic Conference) are facing opposition expected to stand in their way as they try to defend those titles.

Eastwood, which started a host of sophomores last year, and Northwood, are longing to restore championships to their trophy cases, and every indication is that they have the horses to do so. In the TAAC, however, Gibsonburg remains the pre-season coaches’ favorite.

The Golden Bears had seven first place votes and garnered 76 points to place ahead of the Rangers, which had two first place votes and 73 points. They were followed by Montpelier (62), Hilltop (48), Ottawa Hills (41), Cardinal Stritch (30), Edon (28), Danbury (25) and Toledo Christian (22).

At Waite, third-year coach Dan Chipka is bringing back excitement to Mollenkopf Stadium. He has close to 70 players on his roster, something unseen at the historic east side school in recent years. Plus, his Purple & Gold event in July brought out thousands from the community and it exposed Waite football to the youth of East Toledo.

For Oak Harbor, they are competing in a league that features many unknowns this season, something that is very unusual for the Sandusky Bay Conference.

Clyde is a perennial power and was picked to win the conference, but Perkins, Edison and Port Clinton lost a number of key starters, Huron is coming off its first losing season in 20 years and has a new coach, and Vermilion, which went 4-6 last year, is in its first year in the league.

“I think there’s as much parity in the league as there’s been in a while,” said Oak Harbor coach Mike May. “Clyde is the favorite, everyone is chasing them, and I think there’s a lot of parity this year.”

The season does not open this Friday, actually. If you want to get a head start on catching a prep football game, it opens Thursday as Waite travels to Sylvania’s Cats Stadium for a 7 p.m. contest against the Northview Wildcats. Everyone else begins play on Friday. Genoa travels to the Old West End to take on Scott at 5 p.m. and the other eight local teams begin their season with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

In the pages to follow are previews of our 10 local football teams along with the kind of potential, good or bad, that their coaches see in their teams. Schedules and complete rosters are included. Previews are written by Press Sports Editor J. Patrick Eaken and contributing writers Mark Griffin, Yaneek Smith and Nicholas Huenefeld.

This year’s gridiron Soothsayers need little introduction The Press Gridiron Soothsayers Week In 2015, rivalries developed and for the first time in Soothsayer history, a female did not finish in last place.

So, The Press changed things up a bit and decided to bring back all eight football prognosticators from last year.

Press features editor Tammy Walro, a Pittsburgh native and Penn State graduate, not only did not finish last, she was in first place until the final week of the season.

Her note taking, and even her study of local prep football teams, filled a notebook.

Harold Hamilton (115-35, 76.7 percent) of HEH Photos and Walro (113-37) were tied for first place heading into the final week, Hamilton went 15-1 during the final week to win the 2015 championship.

Hamilton missed only the University of Toledo’s nationally-televised Mid-American Conference loss to Northern Illinois, but Walro finished as runner-up.

Hamilton hsaid he decided the only way he was going to get the best results was to against some of his own local favorites, which is not easy to do.

“It has been fun, in particular competing with other repeat pickers and sports professionals,” Hamilton said. “Initially I was concerned that some games I may need to pick against some of my favorite teams.

“I decided your readers were not interested in my favorite teams but which teams I thought honestly had a better chance of winning. I needed to choose with my head, not my heart. I recognize that some of the soothsayers may not have done that for various reasons, including business relations with customers in certain areas. The few

times that I picked against one of my favorite high school teams I told them why I did and tried to get them mad enough that they might develop a ‘we’ll show ‘em’ attitude.

“One thing that made it much easier was having teams like Ohio State, Bowling Green State University and the University of Toledo on the list,” Hamilton continued.

“I thought they would do well and they didn’t let me down."

Emailing from her vacation at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Walro said, “Hard to believe it’s going to be football season already. I think we should look at it as a time to show the guys who we are.

Good luck, defending, Harold.

Cards start with new coach, fresh set of athletes Coach: Craig Meinzer, first year Last year: 2-8 (1-6, TAAC) Forecast: Craig Meinzer replaces Brian Wical, who went 6-24 in three seasons as Cardinal Stritch’s head coach.

Meinzer has never been a varsity football coach, but he is the school’s varsity baseball coach and athletic director and knows the players.

“It’s been going really well,” Meinzer said after the team’s first full week of practices in August. “It’s been fun. The kids are learning. It’s grinding, but rewarding.

They’re buying into the system and paying a lot more attention to detail. They know they are being held a lot more accountable.”

Meinzer has installed a variation of last year’s spread offense and a 4-3 defense. Senior Drew Staczek, a transfer from St. Francis de Sales last year, will start at quarterback.

At Stritch last year, Staczek ran for 212 yards on 64 attempts (3.3 per carry). He brings good size, too, standing six feet tall and weighing 180 pounds.

“He played five games at running back after transferring,” Meinzer said. “He has a strong arm and he knows the offense. They run a little of this offense at St. Francis, so he knows it. He’s turning into a pretty good leader for us.”

Stritch will have a by-committee approach at running back, where junior Cam Webb, sophomore Hunter Crippen and freshman Romilio Garcia will battle for playing time. Webb is the biggest of the three at six feet tall, but weighs just 172 pounds.

“Crippen got a couple touches last year and we’re expecting a lot out of all (three of) them this year,” Meinzer said.

“We’ve got pretty good skill position players and our line is about average right now.

If they progress during the season, we’ll be a pretty solid group offensively and defensively.”

The veteran receiving corps consists of senior Noah Wolfe, juniors Jeff Dunsmore and Kyle Boehm, and sophomore Paul Latz. Wolfe caught 31 passes for 254 yards (8.2 per catch) and one touchdown as a junior, earning him an Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press honorable mention selection, and

Cardinal Stritch Cardinals (Press photo by J. Patrick Eaken) Latz caught 24 passes for 176 yards (7.3) and one TD. “All of them started last year,” Meinzer said. “They have familiarity with the league and with what needs to be accomplished to be better. They’re above average. They’re going to be really good in our league. They held their own in seven-on-sevens as far as running routes and understanding the system.”

The Cardinals return three starters on the offensive line in juniors Bryce Ketner (6-0, 213) and Trey Quiroga (5-10, 172) and senior Matt Naugle (6-0, 303).

“They are definitely the leaders on the line,” Meinzer said. “We’re really young on the line and there is not a lot of experience.”

Junior Shawn Enright Jr., who is 6-2, 192 pounds, returns at tight end and will also play defensive end. Ketner will join Enright at defensive end, with Naugle and Quiroga starting at defensive tackle.

“We’re not sure who will play nose guard,” Meinzer said. “We have a couple of freshmen fighting for positions on the defensive line. Ketner, Enright and Quiroga

points. The offensive and defensive lines are the unknown factors.”

Meinzer's turnout is good, although he only has four seniors, 10 juniors and seven sophomores. The rest are freshmen — you can count 16 of them. The team's size is not bad with two linemen over 300 pounds and an additional six players who are over 200 pounds, including several who are freshmen and unproven at the varsity level.

Meinzer will be assisted by associate head coach Ryan Machoukas, offensive coordinator Ryan Davis, linebackers and runnings backs coach Todd Baden, receivers and defensive backs coach Roy Findley, offensive line coach Josh Cowden, defensive line coach Tom Katafiasz, assistant strength coach Marisa Katafiasz and assistant coach Chris Blazevich. Josh Bohn is the athletic trainer and student managers are Lexi Turner, Anna Keagler, Samantha Slight, Halie Wharton, and Manureet Mangat.

will all be solid. This is only Naugle’s second year playing football but he’s coming along quite well. He’s a big kid (6-0, 303) and has pretty good feet when he wants to have them.”

Wolfe and junior Jarrett Cousino are the starting outside linebackers, and Crippen will start inside. Meinzer said some freshmen are working at inside linebacker as well. The cornerbacks are junior Kyle Boehm, Webb and Latz, while the safeties are Staczek and Dunsmore. On defense, Wolfe had 65 tackles last year, third best on the team.

“They all played last year except for Cam Webb,” Meinzer said. “All the other kids started in the defensive backfield.

We’re real strong back there, but the interior lines are kind of an unknown commodity right now.”

Meinzer said the Cardinals should be competitive this season.

“If we can stay healthy, we’ll have a pretty good record,” he said. “If we can tackle and block, those are going to be our weak spots. Passing, running and the defensive backs are going to be our high

Returning athletes seek to Clay back on track Coach: Mike Lee, fourth year, 5-21 Last year: 1-9 (0-7, TRAC) Forecast: Clay will have a third-year starter at quarterback and a “Miracle” Mason in the backfield in 2016. Senior Josh Kiss returns at quarterback to run the Eagles’ spread offense, which scored just 15.6 points a game last season.

“He’s looking much better than the last two years,” coach Mike Lee said of Kiss, who completed 53 percent of his passes (137 for 258) for 1,520 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2015. Kiss was an Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press honorable mention selection at quarterback.

“He’s still working on his reads but he’s doing really good.

His strength is his running ability and he has a very strong arm and has knowledge of the offense,” Lee said.

The starting tailback is Mason Baker, a senior who played mostly on defense last year following a serious jet ski accident. He did carry the ball 19 times for 115 yards, averaging 6.1 per carry, and scored one touchdown.

“He’s better than ever,” Lee said. “He was in a jet ski accident (last summer) and almost drowned. He came back and played, but I thought he was done forever. We call him ‘Miracle Mason.’ He’s pretty fast and has a good build for his size.”

Sophomore Kyle Miller and junior Bo Szymczak will see playing time behind Baker. Junior Michael Halka will join the backfield fray if the Eagles go to a power formation. Clay returns all four wideouts from last season in seniors Jake Lingohr, Tyler Fuller and Gary Vincent, and sophomore Jake Novak.

“They’ve increased their speed and their knowledge of what we’re doing,” Lee said. “We didn’t put a lot of time in (with the passing game) last year, so they were learning during the season. Now, they have a real good grasp of it.”

Other candidates at receiver are seniors Ramon Garcia, Trace Lambrecht and Mason Ensign, and junior Dustin Aiton. The tight end is senior Kevin Curry and the tackles are senior Levi Halka and junior Robert Nelson. Junior Devin Lunsford will start at center and be flanked by senior guards

Clay Eagles (Photo courtesy of Lifetouch) Christian White and Hugo Camarillo. Senior Kaje Cowell, first-year player, and junior Matt Reed will also play on the O-line.

“The line is very important and right now (Aug. 11) they are behind schedule because of a lack of experience,” Lee said.

“Last year was a senior-dominated group and this group didn’t get a lot of jayvee time because we had to cancel the jayvee season because of injuries. We had 15-18 kids out at one time last year.”

The defensive line consists of senior end Drew Vascik, junior nose guard Nick Daly and Levi Halka at tackle. White, sophomore Jared Rivera and juniors Dominic Ketron and Austin Kegley will also play on the line.

The middle linebackers are starters Mickey Wiseman, a senior, Michael Halka and Curry. Lunsford, Szymczak, junior Walker Bliss and sophomore Josh Nagy should also see time there, according to Lee. Wiseman was an All-Press second team selection last year, garnering 44 tackles, plus he had five interceptions.

Sophomore Adam Ummel, Baker and Ensign are fighting for the two starting cor-

nerback positions, with Vincent right on their heels. Clay graduated both corners last season.

“We have some skill there,” Lee said.

“The biggest concern this year is filling those two (corner) spots. We have worked so hard on that this summer, and those three have emerged as the top three.”

The safeties are senior strong safety Petion Jean-Louis, who was injured last season, and sophomore free safety Jake Gladieux. Miller and Kiss will play the rover back position.

“Two things were critical last year,” Lee said. “We did not cover well and we did not run-support well. There were times we played tremendous defense, we just weren’t consistent. We have to do that more consistently this year – come up in run support and cover more efficiently.”

The kicker is sophomore Palmer Yenrick, who kicked on the freshman team last year and helped the Eagles beat St. John’s Jesuit with a last-second field goal.

“We have a lot of confidence in Palmer,” Lee said. “He’s (kicking) past 40 yards now and he’s pushing 50 yards.”

Eastwood expects to be back in the fold, again Coach: Jerry Rutherford, 35th year, 217-138 Last year: 4-6 (4-3, NBC) Forecast: This season could be deja vu all over again for the Eastwood football program.

Four years ago the Eagles started a plethora of sophomores and struggled through the 2012 season. A year later coach Jerry Rutherford’s squad used that experience to go 8-2 and make the state playoffs.

In 2014 those sophomores from ‘12 were seniors and led the Eagles to a 9-1 finish and another spot in the playoffs.

Eastwood played several sophomores last season “because they were our best guys,” Rutherford said.

“It took some time to come up with the starters we wanted. We tried a lot of guys and settled in toward the end. We had (Jake) Pickerel at quarterback the last few games and we threw the ball a little more. Everything is in place to be pretty good this year,” the veteran coach added.

Eastwood has a difficult pre-Northern Buckeye League schedule, facing two teams that reached the playoffs last season in Start and Bowling Green and hitting the road to play Oak Harbor.

“We’re starting to get better,” Rutherford said on Aug. 14. “We scrimmaged Clyde and competed pretty well with a Clyde team that is expected to win the Sandusky Bay Conference. There are a lot of positives right now. We have several multiple-sport guys and our leaders are pretty good.”

Pickerel returns for his junior season after throwing for 230 yards and three touchdowns on 44 percent passing last season. Pickerel, a two-year starter on the baseball team, started all 10 games at cornerback a year ago.

“He looks really good, and he can throw and scramble,” Rutherford said. “It’s not like he’s going to be forced to carry the ball a lot. When he does, he’s a good athlete. He’s done a really good job for us so far. We’ve always been able to run the ball but we will do a little more throwing, which will help us run the ball. We’ll be more balanced than in the past.”

The first-team All-NBC receiver led the Eagles in rushing (81 carries, 458 yards, 9 TD) and receiving (18 catches, 232 yards 2 TD). Boos has half the team’s receptions and averaged 12.6 yards per catch and was an Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press second team selection at flanker and split end, plus he was first team All-Press at defensive back after picking off two interceptions.

Boos will be joined in the offensive backfield by juniors Ian Downard and Cooper Comes. Downard ran for 358 yards on 79 carries (5.7) and nine touchdowns as a sophomore and Comes ran for 255 yards on 71 carries (3.6) and six TDs. “All three of those guys started at some time last year,” Rutherford said. “Cade started every game. They understand what we’re trying to do. They have good speed and they are good athletes. They can catch and run, so we will try to utilize their abilities.”

Boos will also line up at receiver, as will senior Tyler Brenot and juniors Tyler Haas and Cory Coffman.

Tyler Tudor, who has moved from guard to tackle, senior guard Austin Meece and junior center Dalton Andrews, who was a second team All-Press offensive tackle as a sophomore. Also vying for positions on the line are juniors Addison Clark, Seth Welch and Hunter Slattman, and sophomore Erik Fertig.

“We probably have seven or eight guys who could play on the line,” Rutherford said. “We have guys who can play multiple positions.”

The tight end is junior Zach Henline, who started three games last season.

The defensive line will include Tudor and possibly fellow seniors Jason Ernsthausen, Michael Burkett and Zane Zientek at tackle. Tudor started all 10 games last season.

“We’re hoping to (rotate) four guys at defensive tackle,” Rutherford said, adding that Andrews, senior Logan Avalos and junior Antonio Salinas will play defensive end.

“They’re pretty solid,” Rutherford said.

Downard had 44 tackles at inside linebacker last year and could be joined there by juniors Jalen Casiano and Tyler Schmeltz or freshman Jaden Rayford, who might also play running back. The outside linebackers are Coffman, Combs, senior Kenneth Cassaubon and junior Zach Henline.

Boos returns at cornerback, where Brenot and Haas are battling for starting jobs. The free safety is junior Alex Ross, a first-team All-NBC and second team AllPress pick who had 51 tackles and three interceptions his sophomore season.

“We’re playing a lot of juniors and we have to keep getting better,” Rutherford said. “The majority of the team is juniors and many of them lettered and played last year. The main thing is to get better every day.”

Comets return a number of key playmakers Coach: Paul Patterson, third year, 13-8 Last Year: 5-5 (5-2, NBC) Forecast: If the way Genoa played in the conference last year was a sign of things to come, this could be a good season for the Comets.

After starting 0-3, Genoa, forced to make midseason changes, began to hit its stride and went 5-2 in the Northern Buckeye Conference to finish with a .500 record, and the club returns 15 starters.

After competing for the starting quarterback spot as a freshman last year, Jake Plantz will take over under center after the graduation of Zach Grodi.

"He’s playing really well this year.

We’ve been happy with him, there have been a lot of positives in the scrimmages," said third-year coach Paul Patterson. "It was probably a little overwhelming for him to come in as a freshman and do everything.

I think he’s understanding the offense and what we’re trying to do, I think he has a good grasp of the offense. He’s gotta do all the little things that you ask the quarterback to do — I think he’s improved immensely on his communication, reading defenses, coverage, what’s going to be open and things like that. I think he’s made big strides with that."

As a freshman, Plantz threw only 31 times, completing 12 (38.7 percent) for 132 yards, but he caught 11 passes for 237 yards (21.5) and four touchdowns, showing his versatility in open space. He was an Alan Miller Jewelers second team All-Press selection at receiver.

Also returning is the top rusher, Matt Bradfield, who had 145 carries for 692 yards and six touchdowns and Noah Edwards (57 car., 285 yds., 3 TD), but Adam Bates (57 car., 293 yds., 3 TD) will miss his senior season after tearing his ACL in the spring.

Patterson is confident that Josiah Bradfield can provide production as well. Matt Bradfield and Edwards were honorable mention All-Press picks at running back last year.

Edwards also caught seven passes for 232 yards for a whopping 33.1 per catch and two touchdowns.

"Noah, Matt and Josiah are probably our top three playmakers coming back.

Genoa Comets (Photo by Innovations/InnovationsVisualImpact.com)) Matt was our leading rusher after switching him to running back in week three. Noah was one of our leading receivers and Josiah is kind of a shifty runner, a tough, hardnosed kid that we'll add to the mix," said Patterson, "We have different weapons, we don’t have to depend on one person. All three of them have played well for us in the preseason so far.

"We want to be balanced on offense with a run-game perspective; we'll run on the inside and outside, we have that ability, and we want to get some athletes out there on the edge. If we split anybody out, we might move one of the tight ends out or go with some two-wide packages; we’re a three-back offense, we’ll move them around in different packages."

The Comets will employ a three-back set but will also feature some shotgun packages in an effort to utilize Plantz's athleticism.

"We basically run the Wing-T, (but) we’ll get in the shotgun sometimes," Patterson said. "When you’ve got Plantz, you want to give him the ability to do some things."

Matt Bradfield also provides kicking

duties, having successfully converted 15 PAT kicks and one field goal last year.

Up front, Genoa returns three offensive linemen. Matt Herrick, who will be a threeyear starter, is the center, Hunter Simmons will play guard, and Alex Hodulik is moving to tackle after playing guard last season.

Connor Chapinski, who played running back last year, will be the other guard, and the other tackle position is currently up for grabs. Andrew Bench and Caden Cruickshank are the primary tight ends.

"There are a couple positions depthwise that are up in the air," Patterson said.

"We’re figuring out our offensive line, and we’re in the mode of trying to fill some holes and build some depth."

The defense, which returns seven starters, features Herrick, the leading tackler last year, and Simmons on the defensive line. Bench and Cruickshank serve as the defensive ends. Hodulik and Bradfield started last year at linebacker and return, and could be joined by Chapinski. The secondary features an experienced group that includes Plantz, Edwards, Josiah Bradfield and Jake Bradfield.

"We’ll go with multiple sets on defense," Patterson said. "We have different packages that we run. We could be fivedown, four-down, three-down. We return a good amount of kids. I think the experience will pay off, but we're still young. We will be successful if we stay healthy."

The team has 45 players in grades 10-12, with eight seniors, one of whom is out for the year. The Comets face Scott on the road before hosting Oak Harbor and Perkins in the non-conference. Genoa and Eastwood are expected to bounce back in the NBC and compete with Lake and Rossford, who finished first and second, respectively, in the conference last year.

Gibsonburg looks to build on undefeated season Coach: Steve Reser, seventh year, 33-28 Last Year: 10-1 (7-0, TAAC) Forecast: The last two seasons have been special for Gibsonburg.

The Golden Bears have gone 19-2, won a conference title and advanced to the playoffs, a far cry from when they went 0-10 in the final year of the Suburban Lakes League in 2011. Now, Gibsonburg is looking to build on that success in the hopes that it will lead to league titles on a regular basis and deep playoff runs.

The Bears lost 11 seniors, including their share of key players from last season, but they do return a number of important pieces. In all, there are 12 returning starters, including six on both offense and defense. There are 10 seniors, 12 freshman, but the sophomore and junior classes.

"We know we have some kids coming back, but we have some holes. There's a nice base. We have several open spots next to some of those key players, we're waiting for some of the new guys to show (what they have)," said Steve Reser, now in his seventh season as coach at Gibsonburg.

"We feel like we have a pretty good grasp of things and that these (newer) guys have the ability to be good players. We're looking for our younger guys to come through with some game experience and hope that helps."

Gone are top receivers in Erik Jahna, Marcus Tille and Mateo Flores and running back Josh Dyer, but quarterback Ryan Clark, the reigning Toledo Area Athletic Conference Player of the Year, returns, as does running back Madison Jaso and receiver Kane Gomez.

Clark did a magnificent job replacing four-year starter Matt Tille, the best quarterback in program history, by completing 135-of-228 passes for 2,408 yards and 31 touchdowns while running 122 times for 516 yards and eight scores. He was a first team Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press selection.

"Ryan did a great job at quarterback last year. He knows he has room to improve and he's working on his reads and he does a nice job there," said Reser. "We're trying to

Gibsonburg Golden Bears (Photo by Innovations/InnovationsVisualImpact.com) see the running backs we've got right now; we want to be able to run the ball and keep the defense guessing. We've got to play well up front."

Gomez, a first team All-Press wide receiver as a junior, was one of Clark's favorite targets and caught 37 passes for 536 yards and six touchdowns and Jaso, a second team All-Press running back, accumulated 1,044 yards of total offense (881 rushing, 163 receiving) and 15 touchdowns.

Gomez leads a receiving corps that could include the likes of Isaak Arriaga, Addison Weaver, Jaret Harrison and Alex Richards, who could also see time at running back. How the new receivers perform could be the key to the offense's success this year.

The offensive line returns honorable mention All-Press center Alex Dix, left guard Ian Taylor and left tackle Trent Hovis with the final two spots still up for grabs.

Reser notes that Brian Milton, Tyler Lilley, Joey Adkins, Noah Krotzer and Andrew Kreais are fighting for the right guard and right tackle spots, respectively. Those who know football understand that the line is

arguably the most important unit on the offense.

"We're checking out all of our different combinations. The line is up in the air.

Those five guys have to work together. We try to work them hard. We tell them, 'We go where they go.' I think we've got the potential to have a nice line, but which five are going to be in the mix?"

Defensively, the Bears lost two of their top tacklers, Dyer and Griffin Geary, but return four of the top six — Arriaga, Hovis, Taylor and Alex Richards. Hovis was a first team All-Press defensive lineman his junior year.

The 4-2-5 alignment employed by the defense, which can feature some roaming positions, has Lilley, Taylor and Hovis on the line with the final spot yet to be determined. Richards and Jaso will play linebacker and Brady Mendoza could be in the mix. The secondary will likely feature Arriaga at free safety and Madison Weaver at strong safety with Gomez, Harrison and Brady Jaso playing cornerback.

One of the keys to defense is each individual understanding their respective as-

"Everyday, we focus on players doing individual jobs — we tell everyone to do their job. You can't try to cover for someone else's job," said Reser. "If each individual does their job, we'll be okay.

"If our defensive line and linebackers take care of things in the box, hopefully we can play good run defense, (and) we should be okay, Corner is also a very crucial spot for us with Marcus and Mateo being gone.

We're excited about our defense."

Despite its recent success, Gibsonburg cannot rest on its laurels and expect to compete in a conference that features the likes of Montpelier and Northwood.

"We will be successful this year if we realize that we don't win games this year on past success, keep our work ethic and keep working hard to get better, play our best football and wait for the outcome," Reser said. "We have a lot of work to do to keep playing physical, aggressive football."

AUGUST 22, 2016

Flyers rebuild, but expectations remain same Coach: Mark Emans, fourth year, 26-6 Last Year: 10-1 (7-0, NBC) Forecast: The Lake football team is coming off one of the best seasons in school history, but after losing several key starters, depth and experience will be an issue.

However, fourth-year head coach Mark Emans expects his team to remain competitive.

“We always tell our kids that the names on the back of the jersey and in the program change, but expectations don’t,” Emans said. “Realistically we have some young kids, but we are bringing up kids who played JV last year who were successful.

The only difference is they’re playing Friday night football instead of Saturday. If we stay healthy, I anticipate that we’re going to have a nice season.”

As with most football teams, success or failure runs through quarterback play. At Lake, Emans and his coaching staff must replace Jacob Rettig, who won’t be with the team for his senior year after throwing for 1,130 yards and 16 touchdowns to help lead Lake to a 10-1 record, a Northern Buckeye Conference championship and a berth in the playoffs last year.

At this point, six-foot tall sophomore Dawson Delventhal and 5-9 freshman Bronson Medley are in a battle to replace Rettig, and Emans likes the way they’re running the offense. Early on, the team expects to run the ball a lot, but the passing game may open up as the season progresses.

“They’re both battling it out for that top spot,” Emans said. “They’ve both ran the offense very well. We want them to control the tempo of the game and not lose the game (by trying to do too much).”

In addition to that, Lake must replace the school’s career rushing leader, Branden Short, who toted the ball for 4,181 career rushing yards, 2,011 single season yards, 66 career rushing touchdowns and 34 single season touchdowns, which are all school records. And if that isn’t enough, the team also lost Nick DeLauter, who anchored the defense at linebacker and complemented Short in the backfield, as well as its best receiver Adam Duncan, who had 478 yards and 13 touchdowns last year, to graduation.

Lake Flyers (Photo courtesy of Interstate Photography) In all, 13 first or second team Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press selections do not return this year.

“The skill positions are all going to be new guys, but we have a good, young running back stable,” Emans said. “It might be a different style of football for us, and we may not be explosive as the last few years, but we’re still going to be disciplined and will grind out the football as a more run oriented attack.”

Emans pointed to his offensive and defensive lines as the strongest units on the team, and that will go a long way in producing a solid rushing attack.

Senior Jimmy Urias, a three-year starter and All-NBC and first team All-Press performer at offensive and defensive tackle, returns at 290 pounds and is “by far the team’s best player” according to Emans.

Three more seniors, Michael Cluckey, Joey Moore and Nathan Banky are all at least 240 pounds. Junior tight end Dylan O’Quinn, who will also see time at defensive end, is 245.

“Our smallest lineman is 190,” Emans said. “We have some size up front, and we

could be as good in those areas that we’ve had (since I’ve been here). That’s going to be our strength. We want to get behind these guys and knock the defense off the ball.”

Other key performers for Lake this year will be Brandon Knierim, a senior receiver/ defensive back; Marty Pennington, a senior receiver/defensive back; and Luke Walsh, a sophomore wing back/linebacker. Walsh started at middle linebacker last year.

“We’re pleased with where we’re at.

We have to get better, but the defense is coming along really well. Walsh was outstanding last year. By the end of the year, he looked like a junior or senior.”

With all that said, a young team will make for a challenge with depth for Emans and his coaching staff.

“That’s one of the things,” he said. “If we have any key injuries, that could really set us back. We have to stay healthy to be competitive.”

Emans, whose teams have earned two postseason berths over his first three seasons at Lake, will lead his team into its season opener at Montpelier on Aug. 26 before

“I think the kids want to be successful,” Emans said. “The Lake sports program has been very competitive, and we want to continue that tradition. The football program, in particular, has taken steps forward. For us, the challenge is to not take a step back and keep moving forward.”

The Rangers’ fullbacks are junior Jason Lord and sophomores Noah Cornelison, Lamar Daniels and possibly junior Dylan Rodriguez. Split ends are seniors Christian Vickers, Nate Brice, Tyler Baer, and Austin Krueger.

“They’re not particularly tall or fast,” James said, “but they are good, solid football players.”

Northwood had to overcome some injuries on the offensive line last year, so several individuals saw playing time. The Rangers return seven of their top nine linemen, including senior center Ben Goins (265 pounds), senior tackle Nick Bonnette (200), senior guard Tyler Arman (245) and junior guard Zac Heuser (285).

“Those guys all started most of the year,” James said, adding that juniors Brandon Hayes and Spencer Lutes, and sophomores Donte Dixon and Dave Chappell all have experience on the line. Other candidates include junior guard Cody Allen (265 pounds), who did not play last year, and sophomore center Hunter Wolff.

The defensive line will feature a rotation of Bonnette, seniors Anthony Arzuaga and Tim Hall, Weatherholt and Arman. Senior Mike Lopinski will rotate in at tackle and defensive end along with Hayes.

Claus, sophomore Colton Falk, Hayes and Lopinski can play the end/outside linebacker position, and Mack returns to patrol the middle. Mack, a first team AllToledo Area Athletic Conference and alldistrict pick, recorded 171 tackles last year including a school-record 129 initial hits.

He added 16 tackles for loss.

“We expect Mack to be really good. We need him to be,” James said. “Just tell him to get something done and he’s not someone you need to manage. He’s a great kid, a phenomenal tackler and a smart football player.”

Lord, Cornelison and junior Devin Newman will also play inside linebacker.

The cornerbacks are Baer, Krueger, Jon Lucas and Joey Heise. Fritz (95 tackles, 4 interceptions) returns at safety, where Vickers, Brice and Noah Thompson could get playing time.

Coach: Ken James, 31st year, 172-137 Last year: 6-4 (5-1, TAAC) Forecast: Taking second place in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference wasn’t what Northwood had in mind last season. Finishing 6-4 overall and 5-1 in the TAAC, just behind Gibsonburg, didn’t look so bad at the end of the season considering the Rangers’ 0-4 start.

“The competition was pretty tough,” coach Ken James said. “The first four teams we played went a combined 37-3 during the regular season, or something like that.

We didn’t play real well and some guys got banged up early. By the end of the year we were playing pretty well. Once we got healthier late, some of those difficult (early) games helped us and the experience helped us.”

The Rangers must replace their top three rushers from last season, including three-year starting quarterback Mike Vallejo. Junior Tim Romstadt and sophomore Jon Lucas are vying for the opportunity to take over for Vallejo, who is now in the Navy.

“They are different in terms of skills they bring to the table,” James said. “Tim is a bigger kid but not as fast as Jon. They both have strong arms. We’re not going to throw it 100 times a game, but they can both throw effectively. Jon is real fast. He’s a track kid. It’s going to come down to who protects the ball the best and gets us out of bad plays. A lot of our offense is predicated on how well the quarterback plays.”

The halfbacks are seniors Gavin Fritz, Trevor Mack, Andrew Claus and Austin Weatherholt. Fritz, who also starts at free safety, carried 44 times for 383 yards (8.7 average) and scored three touchdowns last fall.

“He’s not real big — probably 145 pounds — but he is fast and explosive,” James said. “He runs and jumps real well.”

Mack has bounced between halfback and fullback during his career but has seen little time on offense. Claus also wasn’t asked to play much on offense in 2015.

“Andrew has good speed and good hands,” James said. “We had some seniors in the backfield last year, so we didn’t really need Andrew. This year, with (Joey)

Rockets look to compete in wide-open league Coach: Mike May, ninth year, 39-41 Last Year: 5-5 (2-4, SBC) Forecast: Oak Harbor has just seven returning starters, but if you compare them to the rest of the Sandusky Bay Conference, the Rockets are in a similar position to the rest of the league, which could make for a wide open race.

And Mike May is rather optimistic based on what he's seen from his club thus far.

On offense, there were some key losses in the backfield with the graduation of Andrew Heberling, Kalob Vargas and Noah Harder, but May's team does return dualthreat quarterback Jeff Winterfield (75-of143, 974 yards, 8 TD) as well as Dylan Mansor, Jaret Parker and Caleb Oberther, all of whom carried the ball a combined 125 times for 587 yards and eight touchdowns. In the Wing-T offense, it is often running back by committee, but Winterfield (76 carries, 282 yards, 5 TD) was able to add a wrinkle to the offense with his athleticism, something that should continue this season. Garrett Duty should also see some time in the backfield as well.

"On offense, most of our skill position players are back — we have a number of guys back that got quite a few carries. We like our depth at the skill positions. Parker and Duty have good speed, really good speed, and they can get on the edge and get outside. Mansor is only about 155 pounds, (but) he's a power runner, a tough kid who loves to run between the tackles, (as does) Oberther," May said. "We have a mix of kids that can run inside the tackles and get outside. I think Jeff can figure into the running quite a bit. We’ve put some things in for him. Jeff has worked hard in the weight room and we’re confident he can carry it for us."

Raymon Behler (23 catches, 267 yards) will share time at wide receiver with Matt Harris, and Cy Franck is the starting tight end with Brayden Jeffries backing him up.

They'll be expected to catch passes, as will the running backs.

The offensive line, returns just one starter, but May has been pleased with what he's seen from the group thus far.

Ethan Berlin is the center and is flanked by

Time to Soar ROCKETS!

Oak Harbor Rockets (Photo courtesy of Lifetouch) guards Aaron Lee and Cole Roob and tackles Hunter Lacer and A.J. Showalter.

In all, there are four returning starters on offense and three on defense.

"We have one starter back at offensive line and no starters back on the defensive line," May said, "(but) the lines are both really starting to develop into a strength for us. We've got some talent and size and they're developing."

The defensive linemen he is referring to include newcomers Dylan Thorp and Jake Huston at the end positions with Roob and Jeffries on the interior.

The 4-4 defensive alignment features Oberther and Garrett Mapes at inside linebacker with Parker and Mansor as the outside linebackers. Oberther led the team with 81 tackles last year, but a number of other key defensive players like Harder, Rhett Petersen, Caleb Turco, Ethan Schwaderer and Kyle Pape graduated, and their production must be replaced. Winterfield, Harris and Duty, meanwhile, are the defensive backs.

"Defensively, we need to do a better job against the spread offenses. The teams that

scored the most on us were spread offenses," May said. "We made some changes, put in some different looks and changed things.

But it's about the fundamentals — tackling, getting off blocks and stuff like."

Last year, the Rockets lost two very close games to Edison (27-19) and Perkins (13-7) and just missed out on finishing 7-3.

In a league as competitive as the SBC, the smallest thing can make the difference, and sometimes that's chemistry. Perhaps an xfactor, chemistry is one thing May notes is strong with this unit. “I feel pretty optimistic right now. The seniors are providing excellent leadership, our strength is chemistry. We have a closeknit, family atmosphere," said May. "Having great leadership and staying healthy are keys, like with any team, and the play on both sides on both sides of the line of scrimmage is going to be key."

"In our two scrimmages, I like the way we came out and competed. I liked our scrimmage against Lake. Our kids competed, we had some breakdowns defensively and they scored, (but) we ran the ball really well," said May. "Against Bellevue, we had

Transformation continues at Mollenkopf Stadium Coach: Dan Chipka, third year, 11-10 Last year: 6-5 (5-1, TCL) Forecast: The Indians won the City League Hall of Fame game last season, beating Bowsher 28-27. Waite’s only league loss was to Start, which made the state playoffs in Division I. “I liked our resolve (last season) and how we continued to go to work and battle through early lumps,” coach Dan Chipka said. “We started out the season playing very well against Northview and lost by one point. Then we hit our low point and got beat by Maumee and Clay pretty good.”

Waite ended last season by winning its final five games, and Chipka said the Indians are much deeper this year. Offensively, they have to replace star backs Anthony Ashford (1,872 yards, 14 touchdowns) and Kelvin Downer (1,515, 18 TD). Ashford also registered 142 tackles.

“We don’t have those guys we can lean on offensively, but we’re more balanced,” said Chipka, who has 85 players on the roster (including freshmen).

“This is a program that experienced 15 seasons of losing football. In two quick years, the losing has stopped. We’re doing very well in league play. We have to find a way to win these non-league games in order to compete with the big boys.”

Waite returns six starters on offense and six on defense. Junior quarterback Darren Nichols leads the offense, which is going from a triple-option attack to a multiple pro-style attack.

“Darren distributes the ball well,” Chipka said. “He doesn’t try to do too much. He’s an accurate passer and makes heady decisions.”

Chipka said sophomore tailback Keith Garrett “has had a great summer” and will be joined in the backfield by Start transfer Jay’Von Boose, a junior, and senior fullback Saul Monjaraz.

“Jay’Von has a stockier build and gets those legs moving,” Chipka said. “Keith has good vision and a great frame. He’s a load to bring down once he gets going. Saul does a good job lead blocking for those two.”

Sophomore Trey Mathena will also see time at quarterback, tailback and slot receiver.

Good Luck Indians!

Senior receiver Ronnie Sanders returns after averaging more than 26 yards on his 12 catches last season. Chipka called Sanders, who played quarterback for half of last season, “a mismatch nightmare.”

“He’s great with his hands and is developing some physicality after the catch,” Chipka said. “He’s got a good arm. We just feel he’s more dangerous as a wide receiver.”

Senior Jamel Blanks is the Indians’ possession receiver; sophomore Mathew Hannah is the team’s top tight end and will also play outside linebacker.

Four of Waite’s top five linemen return, led by 300-pound senior Dakota Stevenson, a four-year starter. Senior center Randy Planck and sophomore guard Mathew Broyles also return.

“I changed the offense because I wanted to become more downhill and physical,” Chipka said. “I want to go right at defenses and not allow them to predicate what we do. The whole idea of reading defenders, we’re doing away with that.”

Defensively, the top players on the line are Stevenson, Monjaraz and Broyles at tackle, and ends Taevion Cummings, a junior who has started since his freshman year, and junior La’Marcus Neal, will also play on the offensive line.

Boose will start at middle linebacker, with sophomore Nate Ponce expected to play there as well.

“Boose started at Start last year and is a very good inside linebacker,” Chipka said.

“Nate is giving him competition at that middle linebacker position. We’re blown away by how well he’s done in the summer.”

Hannah and senior Octavio Ortega will play outside linebacker, while Sanders and Blanks are the cornerbacks. Sophomore Vincent Smith is the free safety and Mathena is the strong safety.

“We have speed, physicality and size, and we have some depth,” Chipka said.

“Now we have to execute the plan. This defense will keep us in a lot of ballgames. We’re here to win. This is not an after-school activity where we’re just passing time. There is more purpose in our work in year three, and we want to keep climbing the mountain.”

Bosh looks to return stability to ’Cat football Coach: Lou Bosh, 13th season, 54-67 Last year: 4-6 (3-4, NBC) Forecast: Lou Bosh returns after six years away from the Wildcats’ sidelines. Bosh was previously Woodmore’s head coach from 1998-2009. The Wildcats have had just one winning season in the last 12 years.

Bosh was asked to assess the team’s predicament after seven practices in August.

“I like where we’re at right now in regards to our numbers and doing the things we need to do to keep us healthy and give us the best possible scenario in practices,” Bosh said. “The boys have brought the excitement. We’ve done what we needed to do up to this point and we continue to take it one day of the time and get better in all aspects.

The ‘Cats must replace twoyear starting quarterback Connor Bringman, who threw for 1,939 yards and 13 touchdowns and ran for a team-high 525 yards and six scores in 2015.

Junior Donovan Reyes takes over under center in Woodmore’s multiple two-back set, which will feature some spread-attack principles. Reyes attempted 35 passes last year, completing 15 for 219 yards and two touchdowns.

“Donovan is a real disciplined young man,” Bosh said. “He pays attention to details and is very smart. He’s real levelheaded and throws the ball well and can manage the game.”

Bosh said the players have taken to the Wildcats’ offensive philosophy.

“The transition has gone well and I’ve been pleased,” Bosh said. “They are picking up on things well, they listen, learn, pay close attention to detail and they are honing in on wanting to get the information and what they’re supposed to do technique-wise from the coaches. It’s been a good learning summer.”

Woodmore’s top running back will be senior Conner Haas, and leading receiver D.J Wellons returns after hauling in 47 passes for 545 yards and three touchdowns as a junior. He also had 21 carries for 117 yards, while Haas caught 22 passes for 340

yards and two scores.

“Conner is a strong kid who’s got deceiving speed,” Bosh said. “He’s just a tough kid. He’s played since his freshman year at various positions and we just felt (running back) was the best fit for us and where we need to utilize him.”

Wellons, one of the team’s faster players, is also a threat as a kicker. He was 13of-15 on extra points last year and made six of his 10 field goal attempts.

“D.J. has been to several national kicking camps,” Bosh said. “He is being recruited for his kicking and has a very strong leg.

We hope to utilize his leg in certain situations.”

Senior J.T. Atkin, an Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press first team wide receiver as a junior, had 39 catches for 475 yards and five touchdowns last season. He also ran the ball seven times for 113 yards and one score. Senior Derek Wank could also pose a threat at receiver.

Bosh added that one of the keys to the Wildcats’ success, especially defensively, is the play of senior receiver/outside linebacker Brandon Cowell, who can also line

up at tight end.

“Brandon is a smart young man who has an understanding of just about every position on the field,” Bosh said. “He’s a strong, tough kid and a leader on the field.

His toughness is going to be key for us.”

Three offensive linemen return in senior tackle Joey Morris, sophomore center Nick Wagner and sophomore tackle Kipp Saam. The guards will be sophomores Paul Morgan and Michael Lindhorst.

“They’ve gotten the plays down in practice,” Bosh said. “They are smart young men. They give us our best size up front. As far as being young, we have to mature very fast this year. Looking down the road, we’re starting a nucleus with a line that can give us three years of stability.”

Woodmore’s multiple-front 3-4 defense will feature Haas and Morgan at inside linebacker and Cowell and fellow senior Mason Beachler at outside linebacker.

Haas had 47.5 tackles, including 7.5 for loss, last season.

“Paul Morgan has good size filling gaps,” Bosh said. “He’s an offensive lineman (too), so he’s going to be able to battle

Woodmore’s defensive line starts with Morris and Saam at the tackle positions and Wagner at nose guard. Wank and junior Derrick Berkel will play safety, with Wellons and Atkin at cornerback. Wellons had a team-high five interceptions and 43 tackles last year. Sophomore Taityn Rollin will also rotate in at corner.

During Bosh's prior stint, in his final season the Wildcats won their final four games in 2009 to finish 4-6 and 3-3 in the Suburban Lakes League. Bosh, 49, who has been a teacher at Woodmore for 26 years, was hired as the Wildcats’ new head coach in April, replacing Brian Spicer.

Bosh has hired five assistant coaches, and at least two are volunteers. One assistant is a former player under Bosh, Zach Floro, who punted at Defiance College. The others are Daren Cable, Ron Taylor, Jon Collum, Dan Weirich and Chris Noe.
