2009 MVAL Preview


Antietam Conference

PREDICTIONS

1. South Hagerstown
Head Coach: Greg Kellick
Last Season's Record: 4-6
Projected Overall Record: 7-3
The Rebels were re-classed into the ultra-tough 3A West region this season, but moved to the small class Antietam Conference of MVAL. In order to accumulate enough points to qualify for the playoffs, the Rebs would likely have to run the table. That would require victories over football machines Urbana, Middletown, and Frederick. Coach Greg Kellick will play one game at a time and see what happens. South should be in the Antietam title race with a trio of dynamic offensive players. RB Xavier Richardson returns for his senior season after a knee injury sidelined him last year. Also back are juniors Nick Stubbs (RB/LB) and Hunter Phillips (QB), who both started last season as sophomores. These players should allow South to score more points on offense and if the defense plays solid like last season, the Rebs could win a conference title for the first time in recent memory.

2. Boonsboro
Head Coach: Clayton Anders
Last Season's Record: 9-2, 1A West Semis
Projected Overall Record: 7-3
Offense: Wing-T
Defense: 4-4
Boonsboro has been one of the most dominate teams in the Antietam Conference over the last four years. Clayton Anders will have to fill several holes, but that hasn't been a problem over the last several seasons. This Boonsboro will also play a beefed up schedule with three 2A schools and a 3A school on the slate. Anders does have an ace in his hand with the return of RB Branden McLean. All McLean did last year is rush for 1145 yards and score 18 TD's. Drew Lowery will also get carries in Boonsboro's wing-T offense, while Scott Haupt and Luis Alvarez will anchor the offensive line. LB's Scott Haupt and Lowery and defensive linemen Broc Kline and Josh Harwood will lead Boonsboro coordinator Pete Yurish's 4-4 defense.

3. North Hagerstown
Head Coach: Dan Cunningham
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 5-5
Offense: Multiple-I
Defense: 30 stack
The Hubs appear to be a year away, but they have plenty of star power on offense and defense. Last season's Piedmont Conference Defensive Player of the Year Greg Pheabus returns at LB, while speedster and one of the MVAL's top pass catchers, Anthony Winter, returns at receiver. Head Coach Dan Cunningham went with a youth movement last season, moving numerous underclassmen to varsity. Some of the Hubs young guns returning include 6-4, 255 lb sophomore Dylan Dopson (OL) and juniors Zach Schrieber (OL/DL), Zach Eppard (OL/DL), Steve Coccodrilli (QB), and A.J. Staley (FB/LB). If those players continue to improve from last season---North could be a year ahead of schedule. Returning to the Antietam Conference could also help North. In the four seasons the Hubs were in the conference prior to 2007, North won the league title twice and went to the playoffs three times.

4. Smithsburg
Head Coach: Buddy Orndorff
Last Season's Record: 10-1, 1A West Semis
Projected Overall Record: 5-5
Offense: Multiple-I
Defense: 40
Smithsburg is coming off back-to-back Antietam Conference titles and two straight playoff appearances. To gain the three-peat, Head Coach Buddy Orndorff will have to mold a young and inexperienced team. Antietam Co-Offensive Players of the Year Kyle Orndorff and Josh Conway and Antietam Defensive Player of the Year Alex Akers are all gone. Alex's brother Neiko will take over at MLB, while Jay Hartley will anchor the Leopards secondary. Offensively, the Leopards will have a whole new cast of players looking to produce. Since 2003, Orndorff has restored a resurgence in the storied Smithsburg program. In order for that to continue, the young players will have to step up and contribute immediately.

5. Williamsport
Head Coach: Randy Longnecker
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 2-8
Randy Longnecker will take over the Williamsport program this season. The Cats are the oldest school in Western Maryland still seeking their first-ever playoff appearance. It's not likely to happen this season, but Longnecker beleives his program is on the right track.

Chesapeake Conference

PREDICTIONS

1. Century
Head Coach: Ken Holzman
Last Season's Record: 12-1, 2A West Champions
Projected Overall Record: 8-2
Offense: Spread
Defense: 3-5
The Knights are coming off a storybook season that saw them go undefeated in the regular season and win the 2A West title. Shortly after the season Blue Ridge Coach of the Year Tony Shermeyer decided to move on to new program Manchester Valley. Jim Holzman will take over the program and he will have a few weapons in his arsenal. Senior QB Josh Bordner, who threw for over 2,000 yards last season, committed to Boston College over the summer. Bordner, a 2008 all-state selection, is the Knights leader on offense and defense. Zach Zile (TE/LB), Mike Lanni (OL), Dan Williams (DL), and J.P. Hudson (K/P) will also be key components in the Knights success this season. Century still appears to be the favorite in the conference and possibly the region.

2. Liberty
Head Coach: Jeff Kent
Last Season's Record: 7-4, 2A West Semis
Projected Overall Record: 7-3
Offense: Spread
Defense: 5-2
Before 2007 Liberty had never qualified for the playoffs in football and were coming off a 0-10 season under first year coach Jeff Kent. All Coach Kent has done the past two seasons is completely turn around the Lions program with two straight playoff appearances. To get back to the playoffs in 2009, the Lions will need a young offensive line to mature quickly. Liberty will rely on senior quarterback Geoffry Suddath on offense, Jordan Weaver on defense, and kicker Mike Swiontek on special teams. The Lions already have the week seven date with Century circled on their calendar. The Knights defeated Liberty twice last season and the Lions are looking for revenge this year.

3. Westminster
Head Coach: Brad Wilson
Last Season's Record: 6-5, 4A North semis
Projected Overall Record: 5-5
Offense: Spread
Defense: 4-4
Like years past the Owls 2009 schedule has powerhouses Linganore, Urbana, and TJ on it. However this season those games are not conference games, giving the Owls a better chance of competing for a league crown on a yearly basis. Three-year varsity gunslinger Andy Gilford returns at QB to an inexperienced offense, but Coach Brad Wilson isn't that concerned. Wilson believes he has a committed group of underclassmen that can step in and produce right away. Look for WR Carter Pearce, RB Aaron Miller, and WR transfer Mike Shachels to be big contributors on offense and DL Casey Randall, DE Tyler Krug, and LB Josh Booker to be leaders on defense.

4. Winters Mill
Head Coach: Ken Johnson
Last Season's Record: 4-6
Projected Overall Record: 5-5
Offense: Spread
Defense: Shade 50
The Falcons could be the Chesapeake Conference sleeper in 2009. Winters Mill returns most of their starting defense from last season and a solid group of offensive players. Senior Dave Blackwell will make the transition from receiver to quarterback in Ken Johnson's spread offense this season. His main targets will be seniors Nate Ritter, Kyle Oland, and LB Brown. Coach Johnson knows his defense is the key to getting back to the playoffs. In both of Winters Mill's playoff seasons, the defense was ranked toward the top of the league. DL Steve Martin, DL Vince DeAngelis, and LB Brandon Huggins will lead the Falcons defensive resurgence.

5. North Carroll
Head Coach: Jeff Oeming
Last Season's Record: 2-8
Projected Overall Record: 5-5
Offense: Spread
Defense: 4-4
The opening of Manchester Valley hit North Carroll hard. The Panthers went from being classed in Maryland's biggest classification, 4A, to the much smaller 2A. NC's schedule also has dropped off. Gone are Linganore, Urbana, and TJ. This season the Panthers will play Class 1A opponents Williamsport, Catoctin and Brunswick before heading into the new Chesapeake grid. Coach Jeff Oeming is expecting more wins from the Panthers in 2009. Some of the top players North Carroll managed to keep after the split include OL/LB Jordan Hoover, QB/FS John Shipley, OL/DL, Alex Schuster, and WR/LB Charlie Clark.

6. South Carroll
Head Coach: Steve Luette
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 4-6
Offense: Spread
Defense: Multiple 50
Steve Luette will take over the Cavalier program after Greg Milhalko stepped down after last season. Luette becomes the Cavs fourth coach since 2003 and is looking for some bizarre success. Since joining the MVAL in 2003 South Carroll has won the region championship in each odd number year (2003, 2005, and 2007). To keep that trend going, Luette will have to mold a team with only four returners to the offense and defense. Luette says the 2009 Cavs will be young and inexperienced, but will be exciting to watch. The Cavs spread offense will be led by 6-foot-2 senior QB Alex Terpening.

7. Francis Scott Key
Head Coach: Bill Hyson
Last Season's Record: 0-10
Projected Overall Record: 1-9
Offense: Wing-T
In 2008 FSK suffered through their worst season in years. Since 2000 the Eagles had been a yearly playoff contender in the 2A West region, but last season everything fell apart. This season Coach Bill Hyson is expecting the Eagles to rebound with a new wrinkle in the offense. A traditional wing-T team, Hyson will look more to the passing game than in years past. Defensively, Buddy Ricketts returns at linebacker.

8. Manchester Valley
Head Coach:Tony Shermeyer
Last Season's Record: first season
Projected Overall Record: 1-9
The Mavericks will embark on their inaugural season this year. Former Century Head Coach Tony Shermeyer will lead the Mavs and try to use the same blueprint he used to build Century into a region champion.

Piedmont-Blue Conference

PREDICTIONS

1. Walkersville
Head Coach: Ryan Hines
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 8-2
Offense: Wing-I
Defense: 4-3
The Lions are looking to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2004 and this year could be their year. Walkersville returns plenty of offensive firepower this season. Senior QB Jeremy Musselman, junior RB Quentin Ezell, Senior WR Joe Zuniga, and o-linemen Matt Green and Lucas Dayhoff will lead the offense, while senior LB Hugh Ortner, junior LB Xavier Stewart and DB's Jay Dertzbaugh and Jose Depadua will anchor the defense. Coach Ryan Hines said winning two 7-on-7 tournament during the off-season will provide the Lions with confidence. Also a new look and new staff will hopefully result in new outcomes in the win-loss column this season.

2. Middletown
Head Coach: Kevin Lynott
Last Season's Record: 8-4, 2A West Finalist
Projected Overall Record: 6-4
Offense: Multiple-I
Defense: Multiple 40
The Knights have qualified for the playoffs the last four seasons, but this season they will have their work cut out for them. A brutal opening five weeks of the season will see the Knights face 2008 playoff qualifiers Century, Linganore, Boonsboro, Tuscarora, and TJ. If Middletown could manage to go 3-2 during that stretch, they would be in great shape for a fifth straight playoff appearance. Sam Glushakow will take over at QB for last season's Piedmont Offensive POY Sam Michels. Glushakow was an all-league selection in the secondary last season, while Koby Cavanaugh (RB/LB), Pat Ryan (WR), Pat Weiss (DL), Luke Makowski (OL), and Will Lyons (TE) return to lead the Knights.

3. Catoctin
Head Coach: Doug Williams
Last Season's Record: 8-5, 1A North Champions
Projected Overall Record: 6-4
Offense: Double Wing
Defense: 4-4
Catoctin could be the Piedmont-Blue Conference sleeper. The Cougars have what it takes to compete with the conferences bigger schools and could be a factor in the league title race. Last season's playoff run resulted in winning the 1A North title and advancing to the 1A State Semifinals, before falling to powerhouse Dunbar. Catoctin has a talented junior class moving up this season and should be in the 1A North playoff race once again. The Cougars double-wing offense will score plenty of points, but Coach Williams says the key to a successful season will be his defense. If the defense does their part, Catoctin could be playing late in the postseason for the second straight season.

4. Brunswick
Head Coach: Patt Foster
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 2-8
Offense: Multiple Spread
Defense: 46
Pat Foster will enter his second season as Railroaders head coach. The 'Roaders are coming off a 3-7 season, but Foster believes Brunswick is heading in the right direction. The Railroaders return several seniors and have a talented, but inexperienced junior class move up this season.
For the first time since 2003, the 'Roaders will leave the 1A-dominated Antietam Conference and move into the Piedmont-Blue Conference with three Frederick County rivals.

Piedmont-Black Conference

PREDICTIONS

1. Linganore
Head Coach: Rick Conner
Last Season's Record: 13-1, 4A Runner-Up
Projected Regular Season Record: 10-0
Offense: Muli-I
Defense: 3-4
Last season the Lancers rolled through the 2008 regular season and playoffs before meeting their match in the 4A State Championship Game. Sherwood defeated Linganore, 21-3, sending the Lancers to their only loss of the season. This is the season Coach Rick Conner has been waiting on. Linganore has a mega-talented senior class that includes major D-I recruits Zach Zwiniak (RB/LB), Robby Haverstein (OL), and Ryan Dixon (WR). Zwiniak is considered by Scout.com as the #2 FB in the country and is being wooed by the likes of Cal, Pitt, Penn State, and Virginia Tech, while Havenstein is being recruited by Virginia, Maryland, NC State, and Wisconsin. The Lancers will drop to 3A, but that doesn't mean the road to a state title gets any easier. They will play in the 3A West region with the likes of Seneca Valley, Damascus, Quince Orchard, and Tuscarora to name a few. Coach Conner believes playing a tough schedule should prep this team to make another run at a state title, this time in 3A. The week nine clash with TJ should be the MVAL game of the year with playoff seeding and the conference title on the line. If the Lancers defeat the Pats, Linganore should gain the top spot in the regional standings heading into the playoffs.

2. Thomas Johnson
Head Coach: Ben Wright
Last Season's Record: 6-5, 4A North Semis
Projected Overall Record: 9-1
Not too many teams in the state can say they have a D-I linebacker. TJ can boast they have not one, but two. Seniors backers Nick Forbes (committed to California) and Jeremy Grove (committed to East Carolina) will lead the Patriot defense in 2009. Defensive Backs Marquise Woodyard and Victor Walker have also garnered D-I interest. The offense will also be led by Forbes, a 1000-yard back last season, and receivers Walker and talented junior DeAndre Scott. TJ has the most talent they've had in years and could make a deep run in the playoffs if they find a QB, but overtaking Linganore for the league crown could be a tough task. The week-nine home matchup with the Lancers will be a must-see game and likely decide the conference title.

3. Urbana
Head Coach: Joe Conner
Last Season's Record: 8-4, 3A West Finalist
Projected Overall Record: 8-2
Urbana had a coaching change in the off-season. Joe Conner takes over this prestigious program and will look to uphold the Urbana Football tradition. The Hawks will likely be the third best team in the MVAL's version of a power-conference. They have what it takes to be a 4A North playoff contender this season and should win plenty of games. Jesse Heon returns at QB and DL Brad West and LB Brian Patton will anchor the defense. A week nine battle with Tuscarora should decide who finishes third and fourth. Last time these teams met Urbana won 3-0 in a 3A West playoff mudder.

4. Tuscarora
Head Coach: Dean Swink
Last Season's Record: 8-3, 3A West Semis
Projected Overall Record: 6-4
Offense: Spread / I
Defense: 5-2
Tuscarora also will have a new coach roaming the sidelines in 2009. Dean Swink takes over for Shawn Carey a year after the Titans posted their best season ever---advancing to the playoffs for the first time. Gone are stud-athletes Dominic Clarke and Jackrie Jackson, but the Titans still have plenty of experience returning. Returning QB Josh Marshall will be protected by one of the best lines in the MVAL. Four excellent O-linemen return in Sean Brennan, Hansen Barrick, Bradley McCleary, and Jack Mazzie. Coach Swink is hoping last season's success carries over to this season. Cracking the playoffs will be tough in the 3A West region.

5. Frederick
Head Coach: Vince Ahearn
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 3-7
Offense: Spread
Defense: 3-3
The Cadets were the cruel victim of conference realignment. Frederick played in the 2A-3A Piedmont Conference the last two seasons, winning the title in the first year, while slipping to the bottom of the league last season. This year the Cadets are being shipped to one of the toughest conferences in the entire state, while also being aligned in the 3A West region. Frederick will rely on Senior QB Deon Walker, Sophomore WR Jalen Gee, and center Mac Stephens to lead the offense, while DL Forrest Mason, LB Michael Brown, DE John Bukasa, and DB Greg Ehabe will lead the defense. Mason will give the Cadets a shot in the arm---transfering back to Frederick after spending the last two seasons at St. John's Catholic Prep. Finishing higher than fifth in this conference would be a surprise, but the Cadets caught everyone by surprise in 2007.

2009 MVAL Preview

Piedmont-Black Conference

PREDICTIONS

1. Linganore
Head Coach: Rick Conner
Last Season's Record: 13-1, 4A Runner-Up
Projected Regular Season Record: 10-0
Offense: Muli-I
Defense: 3-4
Last season the Lancers rolled through the 2008 regular season and playoffs before meeting their match in the 4A State Championship Game. Sherwood defeated Linganore, 21-3, sending the Lancers to their only loss of the season. This season Linganore returns most of last year's team including D-I recruits Zach Zwiniak (RB/LB), Robby Haverstein (OL), and Ryan Dixon (WR). The Lancers will drop to 3A, but that doesn't mean the road to a state title gets any easier. They will play in the 3A West region with the likes of Seneca Valley, Damascus, Quince Orchard, and Tuscarora to name a few. Coach Conner believes playing a tough schedule should prep this team to make another run at a state title, this time in 3A. The week nine clash with TJ should be the MVAL game of the year with playoff seeding and the conference title on the line. If the Lancers defeat the Pats, Linganore should gain the top spot in the regional standings heading into the playoffs.

2. Thomas Johnson
Head Coach: Ben Wright
Last Season's Record: 6-5, 4A North Semis
Projected Overall Record: 9-1
Not too many teams in the state can say they have a D-I linebacker. TJ can boast they have not one, but two. Seniors backers Nick Forbes (committed to California) and Jeremy Grove (committed to East Carolina) will lead the Patriot defense in 2009. Defensive Backs Marquise Woodyard and Victor Walker has also garnered D-I interest. The offense will also be led by Forbes, a 1000-yard back last season, and receivers Walker and DeAndre Scott. TJ has their most talented team in years and could make a deep run in the playoffs if they find a QB, but overtaking Linganore for the league crown could be a tough task. The week nine matchup at TJ will likely decide the conference title.

3. Urbana
Head Coach: Joe Conner
Last Season's Record: 8-4, 3A West Finalist
Projected Overall Record: 8-2
Urbana had a coaching change in the off-season. Joe Conner takes over this prestigious program and will look to uphold the Urbana Football tradition. The Hawks will likely be the third best team in the MVAL's version of a power-conference. They have what it takes to be a 4A North playoff contender this season and should win plenty of games. Jesse Heon returns at QB and DL Brad West and LB Brian Patton will anchor the defense. A week nine battle with Tuscarora should decide who finishes third and fourth. Last time these teams met Urbana won 3-0 in a 3A West playoff mudder.

4. Tuscarora
Head Coach: Dean Swink
Last Season's Record: 8-3, 3A West Semis
Projected Overall Record: 6-4
Offense: Spread / I
Defense: 5-2
Tuscarora also will have a new coach roaming the sidelines in 2009. Dean Swink takes over for Shawn Carey a year after the Titans posted their best season ever---advancing to the playoffs for the first time. Gone are stud-athletes Dominic Clarke and Jackrie Jackson, but the Titans still have plenty of experience returning. Returning QB Josh Marshall will be protected by one of the best lines in the MVAL. Four excellent O-linemen return in Sean Brennan, Hansen Barrick, Bradley McCleary, and Jack Mazzie. Coach Swink is hoping last season's success carries over to this season. Cracking the playoffs will be tough in the 3A West region.

5. Frederick
Head Coach: Vince Ahearn
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 3-7
Offense: Spread
Defense: 3-3
The Cadets were the cruel victim of conference realignment. Frederick played in the 2A-3A Piedmont Conference the last two seasons, winning the title in the first year, while slipping to the bottom of the league last season. This year the Cadets are being shipped to one of the toughest conferences in the entire state, while also being aligned in the 3A West region. Frederick will rely on Senior QB Deon Walker, Sophomore WR Jalen Gee, and center Mac Stephens to lead the offense, while LB Michael Brown, DE John Bukasa, and DB Greg Ehabe will lead the defense. Finishing higher than fifth in this conference would be a surprise, but the Cadets caught everyone by surprise in 2007.

Piedmont-Blue Conference

PREDICTIONS

1. Walkersville
Head Coach: Ryan Hines
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 8-2
Offense: Wing-I
Defense: 4-3
The Lions are looking to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2004 and this year could be their year. Walkersville returns plenty of offensive firepower this season. Senior QB Jeremy Musselman, junior RB Quentin Ezell, Senior WR Joe Zuniga, and o-linemen Matt Green and Lucas Dayhoff will lead the offense, while senior LB Hugh Ortner, junior LB Xavier Stewart and DB's Jay Dertzbaugh and Jose Depadua will anchor the defense. Coach Ryan Hines said winning two 7-on-7 tournament during the off-season will provide the Lions with confidence. Also a new look and new staff will hopefully result in new outcomes in the win-loss column this season.

2. Middletown
Head Coach: Kevin Lynott
Last Season's Record: 8-4, 2A West Finalist
Projected Overall Record: 6-4
Offense: Multiple-I
Defense: Multiple 40
The Knights have qualified for the playoffs the last four seasons, but this season they will have their work cut out for them. A brutal opening five weeks of the season will see the Knights face 2008 playoff qualifiers Century, Linganore, Boonsboro, Tuscarora, and TJ. If Middletown could manage to go 3-2 during that stretch, they would be in great shape for a fifth straight playoff appearance. Sam Glushakow will take over at QB for last season's Piedmont Offensive POY Sam Michels. Glushakow was an all-league selection in the secondary last season, while Koby Cavanaugh (RB/LB), Pat Ryan (WR), Pat Weiss (DL), Luke Makowski (OL), and Will Lyons (TE) return to lead the Knights.

3. Catoctin
Head Coach: Doug Williams
Last Season's Record: 8-5, 1A North Champions
Projected Overall Record: 6-4
Offense: Double Wing
Defense: 4-4
Catoctin could be the Piedmont-Blue Conference sleeper. The Cougars have what it takes to compete with the conferences bigger schools and could be a factor in the league title race. Last season's playoff run resulted in winning the 1A North title and advancing to the 1A State Semifinals, before falling to powerhouse Dunbar. Catoctin has a talented junior class moving up this season and should be in the 1A North playoff race once again. The Cougars double-wing offense will score plenty of points, but Coach Williams says the key to a successful season will be his defense. If the defense does their part, Catoctin could be playing late in the postseason for the second straight season.

4. Brunswick
Head Coach: Patt Foster
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 2-8
Offense: Multiple Spread
Defense: 46
Pat Foster will enter his second season as Railroaders head coach. The 'Roaders are coming off a 3-7 season, but Foster believes Brunswick is heading in the right direction. The Railroaders return several seniors and have a talented, but inexperienced junior class move up this season.
For the first time since 2003, the 'Roaders will leave the 1A-dominated Antietam Conference and move into the Piedmont-Blue Conference with three Frederick County rivals.

Chesapeake Conference

PREDICTIONS

1. Century
Head Coach: Ken Holzman
Last Season's Record: 12-1, 2A West Champions
Projected Overall Record: 8-2
Offense: Spread
Defense: 3-5
The Knights are coming off a storybook season that saw them go undefeated in the regular season and win the 2A West title. Shortly after the season Blue Ridge Coach of the Year Tony Shermeyer decided to move on to new program Manchester Valley. Jim Holzman will take over the program and he will have a few weapons in his arsenal. Senior QB Josh Bordner, who threw for over 2,000 yards last season, committed to Boston College over the summer. Bordner, a 2008 all-state selection, is the Knights leader on offense and defense. Zach Zile (TE/LB), Mike Lanni (OL), Dan Williams (DL), and J.P. Hudson (K/P) will also be key components in the Knights success this season. Century still appears to be the favorite in the conference and possibly the region.

2. Liberty
Head Coach: Jeff Kent
Last Season's Record: 7-4, 2A West Semis
Projected Overall Record: 7-3
Offense: Spread
Defense: 5-2
Before 2007 Liberty had never qualified for the playoffs in football and were coming off a 0-10 season under first year coach Jeff Kent. All Coach Kent has done the past two seasons is completely turn around the Lions program with two straight playoff appearances. To get back to the playoffs in 2009, the Lions will need a young offensive line to mature quickly. Liberty will rely on senior quarterback Geoffry Suddath on offense, Jordan Weaver on defense, and kicker Mike Swiontek on special teams. The Lions already have the week seven date with Century circled on their calendar. The Knights defeated Liberty twice last season and the Lions are looking for revenge this year.

3. Westminster
Head Coach: Brad Wilson
Last Season's Record: 6-5, 4A North semis
Projected Overall Record: 5-5
Offense: Spread
Defense: 4-4
Like years past the Owls 2009 schedule has powerhouses Linganore, Urbana, and TJ on it. However this season those games are not conference games, giving the Owls a better chance of competing for a league crown on a yearly basis. Three-year varsity gunslinger Andy Gilford returns at QB to an inexperienced offense, but Coach Brad Wilson isn't that concerned. Wilson believes he has a committed group of underclassmen that can step in and produce right away. Look for WR Carter Pearce, RB Aaron Miller, and WR transfer Mike Shachels to be big contributors on offense and DL Casey Randall, DE Tyler Krug, and LB Josh Booker to be leaders on defense.

4. Winters Mill
Head Coach: Ken Johnson
Last Season's Record: 4-6
Projected Overall Record: 5-5
Offense: Spread
Defense: Shade 50
The Falcons could be the Chesapeake Conference sleeper in 2009. Winters Mill returns most of their starting defense from last season and a solid group of offensive players. Senior Dave Blackwell will make the transition from receiver to quarterback in Ken Johnson's spread offense this season. His main targets will be seniors Nate Ritter, Kyle Oland, and LB Brown. Coach Johnson knows his defense is the key to getting back to the playoffs. In both of Winters Mill's playoff seasons, the defense was ranked toward the top of the league. DL Steve Martin, DL Vince DeAngelis, and LB Brandon Huggins will lead the Falcons defensive resurgence.

5. North Carroll
Head Coach: Jeff Oeming
Last Season's Record: 2-8
Projected Overall Record: 5-5
Offense: Spread
Defense: 4-4
The opening of Manchester Valley hit North Carroll hard. The Panthers went from being classed in Maryland's biggest classification, 4A, to the much smaller 2A. NC's schedule also has dropped off. Gone are Linganore, Urbana, and TJ. This season the Panthers will play Class 1A opponents Williamsport, Catoctin and Brunswick before heading into the new Chesapeake grid. Coach Jeff Oeming is expecting more wins from the Panthers in 2009. Some of the top players North Carroll managed to keep after the split include OL/LB Jordan Hoover, QB/FS John Shipley, OL/DL, Alex Schuster, and WR/LB Charlie Clark.

6. South Carroll
Head Coach: Steve Luette
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 4-6
Offense: Spread
Defense: Multiple 50
Steve Luette will take over the Cavalier program after Greg Milhalko stepped down after last season. Luette becomes the Cavs fourth coach since 2003 and is looking for some bizarre success. Since joining the MVAL in 2003 South Carroll has won the region championship in each odd number year (2003, 2005, and 2007). To keep that trend going, Luette will have to mold a team with only four returners to the offense and defense. Luette says the 2009 Cavs will be young and inexperienced, but will be exciting to watch. The Cavs spread offense will be led by 6-foot-2 senior QB Alex Terpening.

7. Francis Scott Key
Head Coach: Bill Hyson
Last Season's Record: 0-10
Projected Overall Record: 1-9
Offense: Wing-T
In 2008 FSK suffered through their worst season in years. Since 2000 the Eagles had been a yearly playoff contender in the 2A West region, but last season everything fell apart. This season Coach Bill Hyson is expecting the Eagles to rebound with a new wrinkle in the offense. A traditional wing-T team, Hyson will look more to the passing game than in years past. Defensively, Buddy Ricketts returns at linebacker.

8. Manchester Valley
Head Coach:Tony Shermeyer
Last Season's Record: first season
Projected Overall Record: 1-9
The Mavericks will embark on their inaugural season this year. Former Century Head Coach Tony Shermeyer will lead the Mavs and try to use the same blueprint he used to build Century into a region champion.

Antietam Conference

PREDICTIONS

1. South Hagerstown
Head Coach: Greg Kellick
Last Season's Record: 4-6
Projected Overall Record: 7-3
The Rebels were re-classed into the ultra-tough 3A West region this season, but moved to the small class Antietam Conference of MVAL. In order to accumulate enough points to qualify for the playoffs, the Rebs would likely have to run the table. That would require victories over football machines Urbana, Middletown, and Frederick. Coach Greg Kellick will play one game at a time and see what happens. South should be in the Antietam title race with a trio of dynamic offensive players. RB Xavier Richardson returns for his senior season after a knee injury sidelined him last year. Also back are juniors Nick Stubbs (RB/LB) and Hunter Phillips (QB), who both started last season as sophomores. These players should allow South to score more points on offense and if the defense plays solid like last season, the Rebs could win a conference title for the first time in recent memory.

2. Boonsboro
Head Coach: Clayton Anders
Last Season's Record: 9-2, 1A West Semis
Projected Overall Record: 7-3
Offense: Wing-T
Defense: 4-4
Boonsboro has been the most dominate team in the Antietam Conference over the last four years. Clayton Anders will have to fill several holes, but that hasn't been a problem over the last several seasons. This Boonsboro will also play a beefed up schedule with three 2A schools and a 3A school on the slate. Anders does have an ace in his hand with the return of RB Branden McLean. All McLean did last year is rush for 1145 yards and score 18 TD's. Drew Lowery will also get carries in Boonsboro's wing-T offense, while Scott Haupt and Luis Alvarez will anchor the offensive line. LB's Scott Haupt and Lowery and defensive linemen Broc Kline and Josh Harwood will lead Boonsboro coordinator Pete Yurish's 4-4 defense.

3. North Hagerstown
Head Coach: Dan Cunningham
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 5-5
Offense: Multiple-I
Defense: 30 stack
The Hubs appear to be a year away, but they have plenty of star power on offense and defense. Last season's Piedmont Conference Defensive Player of the Year Greg Pheabus returns at LB, while speedster and one of the MVAL's top pass catchers, Anthony Winter, returns at receiver. Head Coach Dan Cunningham went with a youth movement last season, moving numerous underclassmen to varsity. Some of the Hubs young guns returning include 6-4, 255 lb sophomore Dylan Dopson (OL), juniors Zach Schrieber (OL/DL), Zach Eppard (OL/DL), Steve Coccodrilli (QB), and A.J. Staley (FB/LB). If those players continue to improve from last season---North could be a year ahead of schedule. Returning to the Antietam Conference could also help North. In the four seasons the Hubs were in the conference prior to 2007, North won the league title twice and went to the playoffs three times.

4. Smithsburg
Head Coach: Buddy Orndorff
Last Season's Record: 10-1, 1A West Semis
Projected Overall Record: 5-5
Offense: Multiple-I
Defense: 40
Smithsburg is coming off back-to-back Antietam Conference titles and two straight playoff appearances. To gain the three-peat, Head Coach Buddy Orndorff will have to mold a young and inexperienced team. Antietam Co-Offensive Players of the Year Kyle Orndorff and Josh Conway and Antietam Defensive Player of the Year Alex Akers are all gone. Alex's brother Neiko will take over at MLB, while Jay Hartley will anchor the Leopards secondary. Offensively, the Leopards will have a whole new cast of players looking to produce. Since 2003, Orndorff has restored a resurgence in the storied Smithsburg program. In order for that to continue, the young players will have to step up and contribute immediately.

5. Williamsport
Head Coach: Randy Longnecker
Last Season's Record: 3-7
Projected Overall Record: 2-8
Randy Longnecker will take over the Williamsport program this season. The Cats are the oldest school in Western Maryland still seeking their first-ever playoff appearance. It's not likely to happen this season, but Longnecker beleives his program is on the right track.
