After a tough first year, Stur-gis coach Bill Keim enters thesecond of his three year plan.

“Everything that has hap-pened is what a I thoughtwould happen,” Keim said.“BarringDannyScheske’s injurylast year I thinkwewouldhavewon a couple games last year.”

Keim said that from wherethey (team)were towhere theyare now, he is very happywiththe Trojans progress.

“I think this year we canstart talking about wins andlosses,”Keimsaid. “Mygoal forthis program is that when weline up against Lakeshore,whenwe lineupagainstLumenChristi, that we walk on thatfield expecting to win andknowing thatwe can compete.

“I thinkwe are closer to thatthis year than we were lastyear,” Keim said.

This year Keim believes hisfootball team can win fourgames.

“This year I think there arefour games on our schedulewhere Ican legitimately say, ‘I’mgoing to saywe’llwin thembutwill walk out on that field andfeel likewecanabsolutely com-pete with them,’” Keim said.“Last year Iwouldhave toldyouthere was two games.”

Keim credits this with thework members of the teamhave put in.

“Weare stronger, thekidsputin a lot of time in the weightroom,”Keim said. “Wewant tobe a physical football team.

“We are stronger, but we’llstill be young,” Keim added.“Thekids are starting tobuy in,they are starting tounderstandhowit all fits together.Howyouhave to be strong to be a goodtackler, youhave tobe strong tobe a good blocker.

“As the younger kids see thatandbuy into it,we’ll get better,”Keim said.

One setback Keim has seenis that someof the seniorswhoplayed last year chose not toplay this year.

“We knew going in that inyear two this would probablyhappen for a variety of reason,”Keim said. “Those that chosenot to come out I will supportthem in whatever they do.

“What we are asking re-quires somework,”Keim said.

“We’ll take what we have. Wefeel pretty good aboutwhatwehave.”

Onoffense theTrojanswill beled by freshmanChance Stew-art.

“Chance was not handedthat position,” Keim said. “It’staken a natural progressionon its own, through the pre-season, without me becomingmuch involved other thanwatching it.”

Last years starting quarter-back Seth Brumbaugh willserve as backup.

“I feel really good about ourquarterbacks,”Keimsaid. “Sethis going tomove on the defen-sive side of theball andmentorChance. This will becomeChance’s team.

“What people need to re-member is that Chance is afreshman going up againstseniors,”Keimsaid. “He’s goingto pay his dues.”

Keimsaid that Stewart’s size6-3/6-4 and200-plus poundsmakes him ideal for a quarter-back.

Keimisalsopleasedwith theleadership of his young quar-terback.

“I’m pleasantly surprisedwith the respect he demandsand is givenbyhis teammates,”Keim said.

Running the ball for Sturgiswill beTylerTimmat full back.Last year he served as center.

“Tyler is a good runner andhe can catch the ball,” Keimsaid.

Also in the backfield will besophomore Chris Alexander,who will start at tailback.

“This will let us do someother things, we’ll moveScheske around some,” Keimsaid. “I feel pretty comfortablewith those guys.”

At tight end will be ChrisMcGee and going wide for uswill be Connor Render andScheske.

“Both of these kids are re-turning starters,”Keim said. “Ithink we have a quarterbackwho can stretch the field.”

The strength of the Trojansmay that of the offensive line.

“I have to tell you that LarrySmoker has become our linecoachanddoneanoutstandingjob,”Keimsaid. “Everythingwedowill startwith our offensiveline.

“Our kids are doing a goodjob comingoff theball, they are

more physical that we were ayear ago. A lot of it is confi-dence,” Keim said.

Leading the line is Bret Fos-ter,whomoved from tight endtocenter.GuardswillbeHunterWells and Dalton Royer. Atthe tackleswill beDrakeMillerand David Hecht.

“Drakehas thepotential tobea big timeplayerwith his size,”Keim said.

On defense the Trojans willplay a 4-3.

On the line will be Miller,CalebHuff andCesar Iniguez.

At linebacker will be TylerBennett,Michael Schuler andHecht.

In the secondary for Sturgiswill be Render and Scheske,both cornerbacks.

At free safety is Brumbaughandat strong safety isPatHaasand Jarred Finnerman.

“Wearenot playing asmanyguys both ways,” Keim said.

Keimsees the strengthof thedefense are the corners.

“We are young at linebackerand up front,” Keim said. “Wetell the kids if you don’t getblocked, you better make theplay. Our linebackers are guyswho can run. Sethhavingbeena quarterback really under-stands routes.”

Taking over the kicking du-ties is Chris Barajas.

“Chris is a soccer player, hewill do like Sam Fry did lastyear, comeoverandkick forus,”

Positive outlook for Vikings as they seek another playoff berthBy Tom MielcarekJournal Correspondent

He has only two returnerson offense and four on de-fense, but Bronson footballcoach Jeff Gallup is positiveheading into the season.

“I like this group, I’m veryoptimistic,” he said. “We havegood potential. We need tostay healthy and avoidturnovers. We face some reallytough challenges.”

One things that haschanged in Bronson is thechange in attitude. They nowexpect to do well.

“There is a different mind-set,” Gallup said. “For yearsand years, it was hoping for agood season. There’s more ofa self-confidence, but not acockiness, with this team.”

Some of that self-confi-dence came with last year’ssuccess, when the Vikingsqualified for the playoffs andadvanced to the regional fi-nals. Gallup felt it was a fit re-ward for the amount of workthat every team he hascoached put in over time.

This years’ team is no dif-ferent.

“We’ve always had kids thatnever balked at that,” Gallupsaid of the extra time andwork the Vikings put in. “Wejust didn’t always see the re-sults. They always had a goodwork ethic and I want tothank the parents in the com-munity for that.”

Gallup feels his team has theability to compete for a play-off spot again. But it will notbe an easy road.

“We have a lot of top flightopponents on our schedule,”he said. “If at the end of theyear, actually at the end ofevery game, if we played hard,I’ll be happy. The results maynot always be good, but if theeffort is there, we’ll let thechips fall where they may.”

Sophomore Hayden Jer-gens will be taking the snap

from center.“He’s a good kid, good per-

son, very coachable,” Gallupsaid. “He definitely has somegifts as a player and is makinghis own niche for himself.”

Also in the backfield will besenior Brennan VanVorst.

“He played some tight endand was a backup fullback lastyear,” Gallup said. “He’ll playfullback and outside line-backer this year and is veryathletic.”

The wingbacks will be jun-ior Nate Smoker and seniorCharlie Stewart.

“We expected a lot fromhim and he has surpassedthat,” Gallup said. “He’s fastand from his workouts overthe summer has grown phys-ically. Charlie transferred fromout of state and his speed isabove average.”

The play of the offensive linewill be critical to the Vikingssuccess. And it starts withjunior Diego Nunez at center.

“He has a solid build,”Gallup said. “We have to havea good center in our offenseand he is doing well.”

Senior captain Garrett Be-lote plays at guard.

“He is a leader in everysense of the word,” Gallupsaid. “He’s the key to oursweep and is very, very fast.”

Joining them on the linewill be senior Mitch Millerand Austin Phibbs at tackleand senior Charlie Reed atguard.

“Mitch has shown the mostimprovement in one years’time,” Gallup said. “Austin hasvery good feet and Charlie isvery quick.”

Bronson rushed for nearly4,400 yards last year, butpassed for under 500 in 12contests last season. Whilenot looking to balance thingsout, Gallup would like to seehis team gain a little morethrough the air this season.

“We’ve concentrated on ourrunning game in the past,” he

said. “We want to develop a lit-tle bit of a passing attack tokeep them honest.”

Sophomore Kegan Ayresat tight end and senior ChanceDules at receiver will be acouple of choices that Jer-gens will have when hethrows.

“Kegan came up last year inthe playoffs and he has goodhands,” Gallup said. “ChanceDules has stepped it up thisyear and also plays safety.”

The Vikings are also work-ing on other options.

“We have others that wecan work in the mix,” Gallupsaid. “We want to work on de-veloping depth.”

The Vikings run a 4-4 de-fense, which Gallup feels fitshis personnel the best.

“We don’t always run astraight 4-4, we tweak it to

each opponent,” he said. “Thekids fit the build of a 4-4, wedon’t have a lot of big kids.We’re medium size with aboveaverage speed. Our defense,like our offense, is a hybrid ofa couple of different styles.”

At the scrimmage, theVikings did better as the dayprogressed.

“The scrimmage was goodfor us,” Gallup said. “We start-ed slow, but we did see a pro-gression throughout thescrimmage in each set. We didsee things to improve, whichare what the scrimmages arefor.”

Defensively, there weresome surprises.

“The defense, I was verypleased with some of the ar-eas that we thought mightbe weaknesses,” Gallup said.“They played well. But, the in-

terior people did not play asgood as we thought theycould.”

The road to the playoffsstart today with the Vikingshosting Quincy. A team has towin one game before it canwin any others.

“I always feel it’s a big reliefto get the first win,” Gallupsaid. “We can compete witheveryone. We never backdown from anybody.”

The Bronson schedule cur-rently has eight games in-cluding hosting a team fromKing City, Ontario — St.Thomas of Villanova, which isabout an hour outside Toron-to. The split up of the SJV andRed Arrow led to a scramblefor games.

“We had a heckuva timefilling in the schedule,” Gallupsaid. “We called a lot of teams.

It was out there (that weneeded some games) and wegot an email from them be-cause we both had the sameopen date and it worked out.”

It will be a long weekend forthe team from across the bor-der.

“We’re looking forward toit,” Gallup said. “It’s going tobe a good experience for every-one. They’re coming downThursday, going to visit theschool on Friday. They’ll be adoubleheader on Friday,which is homecoming. Thenthey’re going to a Notre Damegame on Saturday.”

The Vikings may also beable to complete the schedule.

“We might have a ninthgame, we’re still looking intoit,” Gallup said. “It would be ateam out of the Detroit areathat was at the scrimmage.”

Bobcats look to win in 8-man leagueBy Brandon [email protected]

Burr Oak’s football teamwill play 8-man football in2010. The school tried toplay an 11-man schedulelast season but due to lownumbers and injuries wereforced to forfeit many oftheir games.

This year expects to nothave that problem as theywill be a sanctioned 8-manquad.

Greg Hardy believes hisfootball team will do justfine.

“I believe we have a greatcorps of players right nowand anything that we add tothis mix is nothing but abenefit to us,” he said. “Thatbeing said, my main em-phasis is the great possi-bility that we could be anelite team in this 8-manleague.”

The biggest hurdle forHardy and the Bobcats isnumbers. Currently theyhave only eight players onthe team — which is enoughto compete in the leaguebut not enough to realisti-cally believe they will go anentire season without in-juries.

“I’m not saying it’s an easywalk, but we’ve had experi-ence with this type of foot-ball for three years,” Hardysaid. “Last year we playedfour games in it but we hadsome experience with thatstyle of play. A lot of teamsare new on that this yearand I think we’ll have anedge.”

Many teams will be play-ing in the 8-man format forthe first time, Hardy said.

And although the Bob-cats currently have just eightguys padding up to play,the team is optimistic. Twoof the players will be fresh-man this season.

“These guys are going tobe on that field, we don’thave a whole lot of options,”

Hardy said. “And to us it’snot really a problem yet.We’re keeping them in shapeand that’s critical for us.We build on their staminaevery day. I know they’re go-ing to hit a stage wherethey think it’s good enoughbut they can’t think thatway.”

As crazy as it may seem,the Bobcats feel they canwin every game on theirschedule with the rosterthey currently have.

Burr Oak has a goal inmind and they don’t want tobe unprepared.

But, as Hardy said, theyare looking to put in asmuch work as possible andgood things will happen.

One of those good thingscould be the addition ofmore players.

“It always seems like thefourth game of the seasonmore and more kids comeout and want to play,” hesaid. “Why they wait to thatpoint I don’t know but Ithink with such a smallschool getting kids into apositive environment is big.”

Hardy said football andextra curricular activitiesin general are a good thingfor Burr Oak students.

“Football and high schoolsports are such a positivething for young people’slives that I’ ll take late ad-ditions at any time,” Hardysaid. “Who knows? Thismay be the one thing intheir life that catapults themto more success in life.”

There are some differ-ences in the field when itcomes to 8-man football.

While they still play on aregular football field, themargins are significantlysmaller as the teams willplay from the top of thenumbers on both sides ofthe field.

That makes the playingsurface 40 yards wide by100 yards long.

“I’d say 8-man football is

a lot like Arena Football —it’s a very high speed gameand there is a lot of scoringgoing on,” Hardy said. “It’sdefinitely a fast-paced gameand as a coach, you’re notlooking for big bulky kids toplay power football. You’relooking for guys that areall-around good athletesthat can catch the ball andrun.”

Two freshman will have tocome in and contribute forthe Bobcats.

Brent Everitt and Chris-tian Eckert will both bringdynamic playmakers to theBobcats.

Everitt is tall and has anice reach, Hardy said. He’ll

be a running back and adefensive back for Burr Oak.

Eckert has both speedand quickness. He will alsocarry the rock this fall.

“I’m counting on both ofthese guys and they have toperform for us to win,”Hardy said.

Per 8-man rules five guysneed to be on the line ofscrimmage. There will be acenter and two guards in ad-dition to two ends or tack-les.

Hardy said each of hisplayers have learned everyposition just in case some-thing terrible happens likean injury.

Mike Giggy will be the

all-everything man for theBobcats this season.

Giggy, a senior, will bethe quarterback.

““I’m putting a lot of con-fidence into him because Ithink he’s the leader of thisteam,” Hardy said. “Lastseason he was a vocal leaderbut he has proven now thathe is a leader by example.That’s very important forthis team. It’s his senioryear and this is his team. Isee a lot of potential in himand I think he is going to dogreat things for us this sea-son.”

Sophomores Josh Sum-mey and Trevor Rowe willplay on the offensive and de-

fensive lines.Juniors include Shane

Lung and Brian Ultz. Bothwill play skilled positionsand get a lot of touches.

Eric Stamper, anothersenior, will play the wide re-ceiver and linebacker spots.

Hardy said he’s apprecia-tive of what the Burr Oakcommunity has done to helpmake this team a possibili-ty.

“We’re very thankful theadministration and athlet-ic department are behindus,” he said. “You’ve got tohave people behind you be-cause you can’t do any of itby yourself.”

That’s very importantfor this team. It’s his senior year and thisis his team. I see a lot of potential in himand I think he is going to do great thingsfor us this season.”

When smaller schools havetrouble filling out a footballroster, there is still a way tofield a team.

Michigan has adopted aneight-player option for schoolsthat cannot meet the normalrequirements of having a foot-ball team.

Burr Oak is one of thoseteams with less than 100 stu-dents in the high school.

“I’d say 8-man football is alot like Arena Football — it’sa very high speed game andthere is a lot of scoring goingon,” Burr Oak coach GregHardy said. “It’s definitely afast-paced game and as acoach, you’re not looking forbig bulky kids to play powerfootball. You’re looking forguys that are all-around goodathletes that can catch theball and run.”

Rather than worry aboutforfeiting from week to weekbecause of injuries or lack ofnumbers, eight-man footballallows schools to classifythemselves prior to the season.

The rules are somewhatsimilar but aren’t the same aswhat many would call “nor-mal” high school football.

The field is still 100 yardsbetween goal lines but thewidth is smaller at only 40yards. That number is clarifiedby playing from the tops of thenumbers written on the field.

“The 40-wide field will take

a lot of teams away from thespeed running game andmake it more of a passingwide-open style of game,”Hardy said. “The field is still100 yards long but not everyteam is going to the 40-widefield. Some are going to havetheir normal sized fields whichmakes the field wide open.”

However, an exception maybe made if mutual agreementbetween the opponents ismade. Then they would be al-lowed to participate on a fullhigh school sanctioned field.

There is a free-blockingzone, which is a square areaextending three yards laterallyon either side of the spot of thesnap and three yards behindthe line of scrimmage.

Normal timing would thenresume starting with the lasttwo minutes of the game.

“Last year we played fourgames in the 8-man footballformat and we definitely havesome experience with thatstyle of play,” Hardy said. “Mymain emphasis to these kidsis that I think we can be anelite team in the 8-man leagueand we can win.”

The playoff system doesnot apply to 8-man footballthis season.

The state will be split upinto a north and south divi-sion. At Week 10, which con-cludes the regular season, thetop team in both divisionswill play for a state champi-onship.

Bulldogs looking to improve on last season despite low numbersBy Brandon [email protected]

Centreville’s football teamwill look to expand uponwhat the have this season,not what they lost from2009.

Jeff Terpenning enters hisseventh year at the helm ofthe Bulldogs and he willlook to replace a number ofstarters he lost to gradua-tion last season.

But the man they call Terpisn’t about to get discour-aged or panic before theseason starts.

“We lost a lot of greatyoung men to graduationand with our low numberswe will have to bring someyoung men up from the JVto complete our team,” hesaid. “We also lost our of-fensive coordinator in JeffJergens. We have had agreat turnout in the weight-room all summer and hopeto translate that into beinga competitive team this fall.”

Returning are nine letterwinners from last year’steam, including sevenstarters from 2009.

That kind of stability willdefinitely help Terp contin-ue to build the program atCentreville.

Last year the Bulldogsfinished 3-6 but were defi-nitely better than theirrecord indicated.

Terp’s squad lost twogames 14-12 last year. Onceto Niles-Brandywine andonce to Eau Claire.

They also dropped theirfirst game of the season toMarcellus, 16-8.

“I believe that this team isvery similar to last year’steam,” Terp said. “If wecould have found a way towin those three games wecould have made it to the

playoffs.”But Terp isn’t about to

dwell on last season.This year, even though

numbers are low with only15 players, Centreville hasseven seniors, seven jun-iors and one sophomore.

Terp said a lot of schoolshe has seen are having thelow numbers problem.

“In a few of the scrim-mages we’ve been to youcould tell that a lot of teamswere struggling with num-bers, they are having thesame issue we do,” he said.“Everybody seems to bestruggling when it comesto having enough kids.”

One of the major focalpoints for the Bulldogs thisseason will be getting betterevery single game. With alot of guys on their rosterwith somewhat varsity ex-perience, they’ ll have tocontinue to learn at a po-tentially slower pace.

But that’s not a problemfor Terp and his squad.

They are just fine withbeing better every singleweek. If they progress theright way, it will turn intovictories.

Leading the offense willbe junior quarterback TobyKoenig, who has yet tothrow a pass at the varsitylevel.

Terp, however, has all theconfidence in the worldwhen it comes to Koenigrunning the offense.

“He’s earned the quarter-back job and he did it easi-ly,” Terp said. “Right nowit’s not an issue who will beour QB. It’s going to beToby.”

Centreville will only playeight games this season dueto the SJV/Red Arrow Con-ference falling apart.

They will still play Men-

don, Bronson and WhitePigeon this season with theVikings and Chiefs comingto Centreville.

In fact, the Bulldogs havefive home games comparedto just three on the road.

Marcellus comes to townto open the season Fridaywith gametime slated for 8p.m. The late start time issomething Terp is trying toget for all of his team’sgames.

“I don’t understand whyany school would play at 7p.m. when there’s no schoolinvolved on Saturday’s,” hesaid. “It ’s called ‘Friday

Night Lights’ for a reason,not ‘Friday Night BrightSunshine,’ when it’s hot andthe sun is blaring in every-one’s faces.”

He has a very valid point.With no school on Satur-day’s there really isn’t a ben-efit to playing a game just anhour earlier.

The open date on Centre-ville’s schedule is Sept. 24,which is also Fair Week inSt. Joseph County.

“It’d have to be the rightteam for us to play,” Terpsaid. “We were looking at acouple of teams but it justdidn’t work out and we

couldn’t get it done. We’regoing to have a walk-through that week.”

Terp added the bye weekcould potentially help histeam get healthy becauseit’s sandwiched betweengames at Mendon and homewith Bronson.

“Mendon is always Men-don and Bronson is big andtough,” he said. “It’s going tobe tough to go toe-to-toewith both of those teamswith our numbers.”

Koenig will be throwing tosenior wide receivers JoshMieras and Josh Miller.

He’ll also have a quarter-

back’s best friend in seniortight end Ryan Eley.

Nate Petoskey will be thelone sophomore on thesquad and he will play in thebackfield at running backand in the secondary.

“I think we’re a lot like lastyear’s team and if we havesome good things happen tous we’ll be OK,” Terp said.“Last year was one of thoseyears where everything wedid went against us.”

If Centreville can stayhealthy and continue to im-prove as the season pro-gresses, the Bulldogs willhave a successful season.

The Colon Magi will have toreplace a lot of talented play-ers from last season’s roster.

Spencer Henley knows thatit won’t happen overnight,but his team has alreadyshowed significant signs ofimprovement during practicein the past few weeks.

Replacing All-State quar-terback Brendon Shallackmight be the biggest obstaclefor this year’s Magi.

“Brendon’s a great kid, youcan’t replace a guy like that atquarterback,” Henley said.“But we have a lot of confi-dence in Tony Campbell, whowas our backup last seasonand he got a lot of reps. Obvi-ously it’s tough to replacequality seniors from the pre-vious season but I think we’regoing to be alright.”

The Magi destroyed a schoolrecord last season in totalpoints with 438 in 12 games.The previous record was heldby the 2004 team whichscored 327 points in ninegames.

Like most schools, however,Colon will battle with a lack ofnumbers. Currently the Magihave 20 guys on the roster —a number Henley says willstay for the remainder of theseason unless a junior varsityplayer is called up.

“We’re probably at the small-est number we’ll be at forawhile,” Henley said. “We hada pretty small junior class butwe’ll be OK. We want kidscommitted and I think ournumbers will be in the 20s forthe next couple of years. The

commitment alone from a lotof those kids will win us someearly games.”

Colon opens with an SCAAtrip to Litchfield.

Henley said the early part ofthe Magi’s schedule is onewhere they can take advantageof their team speed. Colonwill play games with BattleCreek St. Philip, Pittsford andWaldron to begin the year.

“A lot of good football play-ers left our conference lastyear so it’s hard to tell who isgoing to be vastly improvedthis year,” Henley said. “Wekind of have a favorable sched-ule this year opposed to lastyear. Plus we play Climax-Scotts later in the year andwe’ll know a lot more aboutourselves at that point.”

Climax-Scotts has more orless become Colon’s rival dur-ing the past few seasons.

But, much like the Michi-gan-Ohio State rivalry, it’s lostsome of it’s luster. That’s be-cause the series has been moreor less one-sided.

“Climax is going to be thebiggest game on our schedule,”Henley said. “And it’s not reallya rivalry until we beat them.Hopefully soon we get achance to turn it into more ofa rivalry. They’re going to begood this year and they’re al-ways tough.”

The offensive line will be aproductive unit for Colon thisseason, giving Campbell am-ple time to move around be-hind the line of scrimmage.

Senior center TimmyClipfell anchors the line, whichincludes seniors Austin Par-shall and Dylan Schwartz —who will miss the first couple

of games recovering from her-nia surgery in the off season.

Sophomore Brad Yoder willstep in to fill his position. Yo-der will play both ways onthe line, Henley said. JuniorChase Moyer will also playon the offensive line and at de-fensive end. Junior Travis Mc-Cann will also play on the of-fensive line for Henley.

Freshman Lance Doengeswill also play both sides of theball.

“He’s a legit kid but he’s gota lot of growing and learningto do,” Henley said of Do-

enges. “He moves well and ifhe can stay healthy will play onthe offensive line for fouryears. He’s similary to TimmyClipfell but not quite as big.He’s a real football kid.”

Staying healthy will allowthe Magi to rotate a lot oftheir reserve players into get-ting reps during the secondhalf of games this year.

Henley said QB Campbelldoes an excellent job of run-ning the option.

“He runs the option reallywell and his throwing hascome along since the sum-

mer,” Henley said. “He’s a tallkid that’s still learning how touse his body. Being a crosscountry kid, Tony can run for-ever. He might not be the dy-namic player Shallack wasbut we’re looking to see itcontinue to develop.”

In the backfield will be jun-ior Evan Ramer and seniorGabe Sturgis.

An explosive player will bewide receiver Brandon Far-rand.

“We’re going to try and getBrandon the ball in a lot of dif-ferent ways,” Henley said.

“He’ll return kicks and puntsas well as carrying the ball andcatching passes at receiver.We want him to get 10-12touches a game.”

Kaleb Powell is an All-League defensive linemanfrom 2009. He’ll also get repsat running back and fullbackthis season.

Henley said he hopes thisteam will be a lot like histeam of 2005 where four dif-ferent players scored 10 touch-downs during the season.

“I wouldn’t mind that atall,” he said with a laugh.

Spotlighted Senior: Timmy ClipfellColon offensive/defensive lineman

Timmy Clipfell will play both offense anddefense this season for Spencer Henley’sColon Magi, playing on both the offensiveand defensive lines. He helps anchor a Magioffensive line that has four seniors and afreshman on it. Blocking for a new quar-terback, Clipfell and his linemates will lookto keep the Magi offense rolling.

“Tim is a great football player and onethat I’m happy to coach,” Henley said.“We need his leadership this season on bothsides of the ball.”

Experience will be helpful for Falcons in seeking KVA titleBy Tom MielcarekJournal Correspondent

With a majority of startersreturning on both sides of theball, Constantine will lookto avoid a slow start as itcompetes for a KVA title andanother strong postseasonshowing.

“We had nine underclass-man on offense, eight on de-fense to start the season lastyear,” Constantine coachShawn Griffith said. “The ex-perience should help get theoffense going.”

The Falcons will look todo better than last year’s 0-2start with only 15 pointsscored.

“We hope to avoid that thisyear,” Griffith said. “We’vegot to be there (tonight).”

However, they did bounceback to win 10 in a row beforefalling in the state semifi-nals to Monroe St. Mary

Catholic.Having the entire back-

field returning, including sen-ior quarterback Jake Bower,will definitely help.

“He started all the gameslast year, four as a sopho-more,” Griffith said.“We knowhis strengths and weakness-es. Our two losses taught hima lot. Losses are not always abad thing, you can learn a lotand I think it helped us.”

Bower calls a lot of theplays for the Falcons.

“He knows the offense, he’scalling the offense at the line,”Griffith said. “That’s what Ilike about him, he knowswhat I think, I trust him withaudibles. He made some mis-takes last year, but that madehim better.”

Constantine has five run-ning backs returning that to-taled nearly 3,400 yards onthe ground.

Senior Zach Mallo had1,187 yards and will be thefullback.

“He’s a typical Wing-T full-back, sits behind blockersand is hard to see,” Griffithsaid.

Senior Shawn Tucker is atleft halfback, while sopho-more Payton White is at righthalfback. They both finishedwith 770 yards.

“Shawn is the tailback inthe Power-I and I think he’sthe fastest running backaround,” Griffith said. “Paytonhas size we don’t normallyhave in a back.”

Senior Quentin Muehlichcan play either halfback orfullback and will rotate in togive the starters a break. Hetallied 400 yards last sea-son. Another senior, ChrisRentfrow, had 269 yards andwill be another back “we canuse when he comes back frommono,” Griffith said.

The offensive line is wherethe Falcons need to fill someholes.

“We’ve got spots up frontthat we’re working on fill-ing,” Griffith said. “We wantto be more physical up front.We lost a lot of kids from lastyear.”

The Falcons return bothtight ends from last season.They are senior Ron Fanch-er on the right side and jun-ior Brandon Edwards on theleft.

“Ron is a brute, a third-yearstarter, is competitive anddoes a nice job blocking,”Griffith said. “Brandon is a lit-tle smaller, a smart kid andhe’s figured things out. Hedoes a nice job with thepushout block.”

The defense will be led by

the linebackers, where threeof four spots are filled by let-terman. They are seniors CurtRoberts and Nick Barber,along with Fancher. Muehlichwill join the quartet. Fanch-er and Roberts were All-KVAlast season, while Barber ledthe team in tackles.

Juniors John Hicks andChase Niblock will hold downthe defensive end spots.

“We’re going to need themto be solid,” Griffith said of hislinebackers and ends. “The sixneed to play well.”

The defensive line on theinside will be a rotation be-tween juniors Joe Wuthrich,Jacob Mechling and White.

“The front on defense, wesaw some good and badthings,” Griffith said of theirperformance at the scrim-

mage.Tucker, Mallo and Rent-

frow will be the starters in thedefensive backfield. Bowerwill also see time, especiallyearly with Rentfrow out.

The Falcon coaching staffused the scrimmage for eval-uation more than anything.

“We were looking at posi-tions and areas to improve,”Griffith said. “We’ve got kidsthat need to learn to playboth ways. We’ve also gotkids who need to learn thespeed at the varsity level. Westill have to improve and havethe kids (behind the starters)push them.”

Constantine opens the sea-son 8 p.m. tonight at WesternMichigan University’s WaldoStadium against VermontvilleMaple Valley.

“The players are fired up forit,” Griffith said. “Two yearsago when the seniors were onJV, Maple Valley won 23-0.And an 0-2 start last seasonmakes it more important tofocus and be fired up.”

But it is also a chance formany kids play on a collegefield.

“I like the opportunity toplay at a college stadium,”Griffith said. “It’s a good ex-perience for the kids, they’reexcited to play.”

The Falcons will needsteady progression as the sea-son moves along.

“We need continued im-provement every week, it’s astruggle if you don’t,” Griffithsaid. “We need to stayhealthy.”

Howe preparesfor football seasonBy Corky [email protected]

After being without footballfor 25 years, the Howe Schoolwill be bringing back Ameri-ca’s game this year.

“Over the years we havehad several prospective stu-dents that decided to go else-where because we didn’t havefootball,” Athletic DirectorTony DeFelice said. “We want-ed to bring back one of theschool’s traditional sports andrealize that football is themost popular sport in thecountry.”

DeFelice has been at theschool since 1990 and re-

members talk then to bringfootball back.

“It had been discussed ingreat detail in the early 90s,”DeFelice said. “Ultimately itwas decided that the timewas not right.”

Over the past four yearsDeFelice has been gatheringinformation and formulatinga plan to bring back football.

“The biggest challenge hasbeen to coordinate the startup, with a limited amount ofresources it has been veryimportant to prioritize theitems we need to have a foot-ball team,” DeFelice said.“Right know, we are where weneed to be to get started and

that, in itself, is a relief to me.”DeFelice said the students

are behind the players.“The kids at our school

were elated when we an-nounced that we will be bringfootball back,” DeFelice said.“The interest is there withour kids and we owe it tothem to offer the sport. Ourschool has been changinglives for the better for 126years.

“All of us that work here arehere because of the kids andstarting up football againshows our commitment tothem,” DeFelice said.

Guiding the Wildcats will becoach Al Heminger.

Lakers looking to repeat as NECC champions in 2010By Brandon [email protected]

Keith Thompson and hisfootball team waited a longtime to get back on the foot-ball field.

They’ve already openedthe season with a victory,beating Prairie Heights 48-7 in their first game of theseason.

It was the sixth straighttime Lakeland beat the Pan-thers and the fifth consecu-tive season-opening victoryover Prairie Heights.

“I’m so proud of theseguys,” Thompson said of histeam. “If you’d have seen usscrimmage last week andthen tonight you’d havethought it was a differentteam. We’ve made tremen-dous progress from thescrimmage to this week.”

In their battle for the milkcan Lakeland has now won32 of the 42 meetings.

Lakeland’s defense willonce again be the backboneof the team.

Thompson prides himselfand his football pedigreeon playing swarming de-fense and being able to getto the quarterback on justabout every play.

That’s what it takes toplay defense for one of histeams.

“If you’re going to playdefense for us you’re goingto run, you’re going to hit oryou’re going to sit,” he said.“It’s very simple.”

Another staple for theLakeland program will berunning the football.

During the past three sea-son the Lakers had a dual-threat quarterback in Dako-tah Baldridge.

Now they’ll put their faithin first year started Cody

Richardson.The junior signal caller

looked shaky at timesagainst Prairie Heights toopen the season but hecalmed down and led a pro-ductive offense that woredown a battered defense.

Richardson and the Lak-ers totaled 452 yards — 404of which were on theground.

A rushing attack will be abigtime reason Lakelandwill be a quality team in2010.

Seniors Dustin Wohlheterand Bryce Bates look to getthe bulk of the carries.

Junior Tim Abbott willalso get his fair share ofcarries this season from thefullback position.

Against the Panthers inthe opening week of theseason Wohlheter logged192 yards on 18 carries withtwo scores.

Bates totaled 79 yards on10 carries.

On the night 12 differentLakers carried the rock.

While that doesn’t expectto happen every singlegame, Thompson said histeam will be running theball quite often in 2010.

“We’ve got a lot of guysthat can carry the footballand we’re going to run theball a lot,” he said. “That’sanother thing we pride our-selves on here at Lakeland.We like to run the football.”

Richardson has a goodarm and the Lakers have re-ceivers that can haul inpasses. But when it comesdown to it, Lakeland will tryto win as many games aspossible with their groundgame.

Good old-fashioned foot-ball.

“We know at some point

during the season we’re go-ing to have to throw thefootball to be successful,”Thompson said. “And wehave all the faith in theworld in Cody. I thought Isaw some really good thingsfrom him tonight (afterPrairie Heights game). Ithink he matured a lot as thesummer went on and hehas showed why he’s ourquarterback.”

The beginning part of theschedule sets up nicely forthe Lakers.

Already with a win undertheir belt, the Lakers willlook to continue winningas the season moves along in2010.

The Lakers will travel toFremont and Angola in the

early part of the season withCentral Noble sandwichedinbetween.

The toughest part ofLakeland’s schedule comesduring the final three weeksof the season where theywill play very tough games.

Two of those are on theroad as the Lakers finish upthe regular season at SouthBend St. Joseph’s and atChurubusco.

“Our games later in theyear are going to be toughbut by that time we willknow a lot about our teamand we will have developedas the season progresses,”Thompson said. “But we’renot worried about that now.We’re concentrating outtime and efforts one week at

a time.”Leading the defense this

season will be guys like de-fensive backs Ty Harsh-berger, senior Scott McK-ibben and defensive endTanner Foster, who is alsothe team’s tight end.

Thompson said McK-ibben is a dedicated seniorthat is willing to go the ex-tra mile on the field.

“Scott is one of our play-ers that might fly under theradar,” Thompson said. “He’sthe kind of guy that puts ina lot of extra work and won’tlead the team in tackles.But he’s the type of kid thathelps us win football games.”

Bates will also play in thesecondary while Wohlheterwill anchor a defensive end

position and see time atlinebacker.

The junior-heavy class in-cludes linebackers LukeMiller and Carlos Morales,who is also the team’s kick-er.

Lakeland has hopes of re-peating as NECC confer-ence champions from lastseason.

In 2009 the Lakers wontheir first seven games butlost their last two to St.Joseph’s and Churubusco,both close games.

St. Joe’s beat them by asingle point while Buscobeat them 12-7.

Lakeland lost it’s finalgame of the season toNorthwood in sectionals.

Spotlighted Senior: ScottMcKibbenLakeland wide receiver/defensive back

Lakeland senior Scott McKibbenis an avid paintball player — and he’sgood too. So good that in a previoustime playing with friends he wasn’t shotthe entire time. McKibben said hehelps relate the art of paintball toplaying football. The more attention todetail that he has, the better off he’ll be.

It must work. In the Lakers’ seasonopening victory over Prairie HeightsMcKibben intercepted a pass in thesecond quarter to give Lakeland theball deep in Panther territory.

Head coach Keith Thompson saidMcKibben is a dedicated senior that iswilling to go the extra mile on the field.

“Scott is one of our players thatmight fly under the radar,” Thompsonsaid. “He’s the kind of guy that puts ina lot of extra work and won’t lead theteam in tackles. But he’s the type of kidthat helps us win football games.”

Wildcats look to continue winning tradition on the gridironBy Tom MielcarekJournal Correspondent

Many of the Three Riversstarters this season may benew, but the experience theygot last year as reserves on ateam that advanced to thestate finals could prove to bevaluable.

“A lot of the kids comingback got five extra weeks ofpractice,” Wildcat coach J.J.Wagner said. “They’ve workedhard and seen what it takes towin. They’ve put in the time inthe summer, in conditioning,in passing camps. They knowthere is a lot of tradition on thevarsity and doing things theright way.”

Wagner knows that it willtake some work by his coach-ing staff to keep the Wildcattradition rolling.

“We hope to piece things to-gether to be successful,” hesaid. “There are high expec-tations, lots of tradition. Ithelps with the motivation.”

One concern is the transi-tion for many players to thespeed of the game at the var-sity level.

“It’s different for each groupas they learn the speed of thegame,” Wagner said. “We hopeit’s only a snap and they’reready to go.”

The Wildcats used thescrimmages to see what everyplayer could contribute. Thecoaches had a good idea of thedepth chart and used the timefor evaluation and how eachplayer can help the team to besuccessful.

“We don’t invest a lot in thescrimmages,” Wagner said.“We break everything bytimes. The firsts will get sixminutes, the seconds and

thirds then will get three each.Then we’ll rotate, so they allget the same amount of time.”

One player who showedgood things at the scrimmageis new quarterback, seniorTanner Wilson.

“I thought he played well atthe scrimmage and in thepreseason,” Wagner said. “Hesaw some time last year, ingames where we had a biglead. He’s improved his deci-sion making.”

Wagner has given him oneimportant rule to follow thisseason.

“We’ve told him we want toend each drive with a kick,” hesaid. “Either a PAT (after atouchdown), field goal orpunt. We don’t want toturnover the ball.”

Three Rivers will still runthe spread formation, but willprobably run the ball morefrequently.

“We’ll run a little more andthrow to keep them honest,”Wagner said. “It will be clos-er to a 50-50 balance.”

A senior-laden front linewill provide the blocking withJack McIntee at left tackle,Joel Menz at left guard, ScottBottles at center, Kyle Myko-laitis at right guard andJuwain Burton at right tack-le.

“We’re hoping for big things(from the line),” Wagner said.“It’s the spread, but we stillhave to run. They’re biggerthan last year.”

Three backs will see time inthe backfield for the Wildcats.They all provide a differentlook to opposing defenses.

“They’re all going to gettouches,” Wagner said.

The choices include seniorJackson Conner, a transfer

from Cassopolis, senior ColinMuehlberger and senior GabeSolis.

Jackson “is quick, makesgood cuts and has good pow-er, according to Wagner, whileMuehlberger “is a slasher,who runs to daylight.”

Solis “does a nice job ofpass protection, catching pass-es out of the backfield. He hasgood hands,” Wagner added.

The receivers for ThreeRivers will be juniors AaronVedmore and JacksonDraime, while seniors JamalHunt, Kevonte Wilder andJake Cowing will all see timein the slot positions.

“They’re all quick kids andthey need to get consistant,”Wagner said. “But they lackexperience, so they’ll be somegrowing pains.”

There are a lot of changeson the defensive side of theball as well.

“We’re replacing 10 of 11, sowe have big questions,” Wag-ner said. “We’re looking for 10others to fill in.”

Nose tackle, senior BobbyJaseph, is the only returner.The other inside guys will beseniors Dariel Carr and DylanSheldon. The ends will rotatebetween senior Pat Sampson,Conner and Muehlberger.

Behind the line will be Bot-tles and Draime at inside line-backer, while seniors Dre’McKentry and Ethan Madi-son will be in the secondary,along with Cowing and Hunt.

“We need to learn to trusteach other, to know what isgoing on within the struc-ture of the defense,” Wagnersaid. “The quicker we recog-nize what’s needed, the betterwe’ll be.”

Wagner feels most teamswill still be gunning for them,since they are a perennialpower in the battle for theWolverine Conference title.

“We still have a bullseye

on our chest,” he said. “Thereis no such thing as a downyear. If they’ve (the Wildcats)played their hardest, that’sall we could ask for.”

Three Rivers is focused onthe upcoming game only.

“We only concern ourselveswith one week at a time,”Wagner said. “Allegan is thefirst game as we look to win aleague title. That’s where westart.”

Wagner feels there is moreparity in the league.

“The last couple of years,I’ve felt things have been pret-ty balanced,” he said. “Any-body can win on any Friday.”

Chiefs eye third straight trip to playoffsBy Corky [email protected]

The White Pigeon footballteam has gotten used to makingappearances in the post season.

This year they hope to makeit three in a row, but they mustovercome the loss of key per-sonnel.

Taking the place of All Staterunning back Alex Krajniakwill be Lance Lemmerhart andChris Shirk.

“This is our two-headed mon-ster,” coach Jason Vogel said.“Lance at tailback, he’s a kid thatis hard to get your hands on, hegets lost in the shuffle and he cantake hard hits.

“Chris is a scrappy kid who is-n’t afraid to run between thetackles,” Vogel said.

White Pigeon lost three start-ing offensive lineman.

But the line will be anchoredby third year starter Roger Stew-art (6-5, 295).

“Roger is a kid that peoplewon’t be able to match up with,”Vogel said. “He has great footwork, he’s quick and strongerthat he’s ever been.”

Stewart has been getting a lotof looks from colleges includingWestern Michigan, CentralMichigan, Eastern Michigan,Ball State, Michigan State, In-diana and Illinois.

Returning to lead the Chiefsoffense is quarterback MikeNiblock.

Last season he threw for 584yards and eight touchdowns. Healso rushed for 228 yards.

“Mike has gotten bigger andstronger this year,” Vogel said.“But I think the biggest thing islast year he played not to makea mistake. This year he’s playingto make plays.”

Also returning to start is widereceiver Cory Wynkoop (6-3,166).

Last season he had 18 recep-tions for 236 yards and threescores.

New to the White Pigeonteam and looked to solidify theoffensive line are Holden Tullos(5-10, 225), Dylan Poley (5-9,210 and David Cloud (6-3, 225).

Joining the Chiefs will betight end Dayton Laverack andwide receiver Kenton Barczak.

White Pigeon returns nine

staters on the defensive side ofthe ball.

Returning are lineman Stew-art, Poley and Bob Armstrong.

Linebackers Holden Tullosand Laverack and defensivebacks, Niblock, Lemmerhart,Shirk and Travis Shoulders.

New at the defensive line isJohn Tullos and linebacker ZachGropp.

As far as the SJV goes, Vogelsees Mendon at the top withBronson and Centreville bat-tleing.

“The SJV has teams that hit,

they all can run the ball. Everygame is a battle,” Vogel said.

White Pigeon has addedtougher teams to their schedule,taking the place of the Red Ar-row Conference are the likes ofCassopolis, Edwardsburg,Berrien Springs and Comstock

Park.“We have a lot of talented sen-

iors,” Vogel said. “Our scheduleis tough, we’ll have to play goodfootball every week.

“Tougher competition shouldhelp us as the playoffs comearound.”

Hornets poised for another playoff runBy Corky [email protected]

With a stronger non con-ference schedule, Mendoncoach John Schwartz believesnothing but good can comefrom it.

“We’re playing a muchtougher schedule, if we loseone or two games thats notnecessarily a bad thing aslong as we make the playoffs,”Schwartz said. “Playing atougher schedule just makesyou better in the playoffs.

“We want a tough sched-ule,” Schwartz said.

This season the Hornetswill take on Berrien Springs(9-3), who lost in the region-al finals.

They have added Edger-ton (Ohio) who finished witha 9-2 record.

Mendon will also take anextended road trip to Wis-consin in week five.

Leading the Hornets of-fense will be junior ChanceNightingale.

He has the responsibility ofreplacing his big brother CJ,who led Mendon the last twoseasons.

“Chance has a strong armand he scramble well,”Schwartz said. “We’re are ex-pecting him to make gooddecisions as the year goeson. I think he’ll be fine.”

Another key loss for theHornets is Jordan Higgins.

Running the ball this yearwill be Tyler Harris, GlenBatten, Tanner Cook andCody Bingaman.

These four are sure to giveopposing defense’s aheadache.

Not only are they formida-ble runners, but threats tocatch the ball from the backfield.

“I think we’ll be able torun some play action,”Schwartz said.

Schwartz said they giveMendon the opportunity tohave many different looks of-fensively.

“They all can catch theball,” Schwartz said. “Harriscuts real well and has goodspeed, Batten is big and heeludes tacklers well.

“Cook will be a fullback, he’sgood inside runner,” Schwartzsaid. “Cody started back therelast year for us.”

The Hornets have alwaysbeen known as a runningteam, with the occasionalpass.

Schwartz expects to passthe ball about 35-percent ofthe time.

Leading the receivers areLogan Ahrens, Robby Gonser,Cody Henckel, Bingaman andBatten.

These five will also makethe running game better be-cause of their ability to block.

“Logan has good speed andhas good hands. Gonser isfastest kid,” Schwartz said.“Bingaman and Batten canmove from the backfield to awideout.”

Schwartz said his tight endwill be Henckel.

“Cody is a tough kid, whocan block real well,” Schwartzsaid.

In the trenches is a cast ofsix battling for four spots.

“With these kids who’s play-ing where is a nice problem tohave,” Schwartz said.

At center will be seniorCory Girdley (6-2, 275).

“Cory provides leadershipfor the offensive line.

Also at the guard positionswill be Derek Brueck (6-3,200), Cody Ross (6-1, 195)and Dakota Brietich (5-10,230).

At the tackles will be GabeTompkins (6-1, 205), KyleKline (6-0, 200) and KevinKuhlman (6-1, 210).

Making life tough for theopposition will be the heart ofthe Hornets defense.

Our inside kids are tough,”Schwartz said. “It will behard to run against us for fourquarters.”

The defensive tackles willbe Tompkins, Kuhlman, Gird-ley and Spencer How (5-9,160).

At the defensive ends willbe Brueck, Ross, Henckeland Kuhlman.

The inside linebackers willbe Bingaman, Kline and Bri-etich, while on the outside willbe Cook and Batten.

“The outside people give usa lot of flexibility,” Schwartzsaid. “All of these kids canplay.”

The Hornet defensive backsall possess good hands andgood speed.

They will be led by Ahrens,Nightingale, Gonser andHenckel.

As far as the SJV goesSchwartz sees a battle everygame.

“White Pigeon will have agood team and I think Bron-son has a good nucleolus re-turning,” Schwartz said.

Michigan expects to movepast misery this seasonBy LARRY LAGEAP Sports Writer

Michigan has endured a lot ofmisery in Rich Rodriguez’s twoseasons in charge.

The Wolverines lost a school-record nine games in his debutseason, flopped to a 5-7 finish lastyear, then acknowledged thefootball program broke majorNCAA rules for the first time.

Rodriguez can’t change his-tory, but he knows how to makethe present more pleasant.

“Winning cures a lot of things,”Rodriguez said Monday night af-ter the team’s first practice.

If Michigan keeps losing,though, Rodriguez might facemore scrutiny than any coach incollege football.

New athletic director DaveBrandon has said repeatedlythat Rodriguez will be theschool’s coach this season whilemaking it clear he expects bet-ter results. Rodriguez insisted hedoesn’t feel more pressure nowthan he did last year or beforeany season, dating back to hisfirst job as a head coach atGlenville State three decades ago.

“I feel the sense or urgencyevery day,” he said.

Michigan’s highly anticipatedseason opens Sept. 4 againstConnecticut in the new-lookBig House, where luxury suitesand club seats loom along bothsidelines. The second game is atNotre Dame.

The Wolverines will hostMichigan State on Oct. 9, tryingto avoid their first three-gameskid in the rivalry since the1960s. They close the regularseason at Ohio State, which haswon six straight in The Game’smost dominant stretch in near-ly a century.

Rodriguez and at least someof his players sound convincedbrighter days are ahead.

“We’ve got enough to winwith,” Rodriguez said.

Stephen Schilling — the of-fensive lineman who has beenaround long enough to re-member beating the TimTebow-led Florida Gators inthe 2008 Capital One Bowl inLloyd Carr’s finale — agrees.

“I definitely think that thiscould be our year,” Schillingsaid. “As seniors, we want to bethe team that says we got Michi-gan back on track.”

Quarterback Tate Forcierstarted every game last year asa freshman and is trying tohold off speedy sophomoreDenard Robinson and freshmanDevin Gardner. Rodriguez saidthey all took the first snap — dur-ing a drill — and said he’d keepdetails a “secret” on the three-man race to be the No. 1 QB.

“You can see Tate and Denardhave some experience,” Ro-driguez said. “But Devin’s a real

competitive guy. The hard partfor us is to limit their contact. Wedon’t want to get them beat upin August, but we want to getthem ready to play.”

Rodriguez also has to identi-fy his best running backs to re-place Brandon Minor and Car-los Brown in camp this month.Vincent Smith, coming off kneesurgery, Michael Cox andFitzgerald Toussaint are theleading candidates to get hand-offs. Roy Roundtree, MartaviousOdoms and Junior Heming-way will likely be the go-to re-ceivers.

The Schilling-led line has al-ready made a favorable im-pression.

“I like the way we lookedphysically up front,” Rodriguezsaid. “Our young guys on the O-linemen look like they’ve grownup. We’ll be a deeper team upfront on both sides of the ball.”

On defense, Michigan des-perately needs to get better.

The Wolverines gave up near-ly four touchdowns a game lastseason and have to cope with thelosses of defensive end BrandonGraham, cornerback DonovanWarren and linebacker StevieBrown. Defensive coordinatorGreg Robinson is back despitethe problems last season, givingthe players some consistency.

“The familiarity, not justschemes, but also personality re-ally helps,” said Rodriguez, whocalls plays on offense and dele-gates most decisions on de-fense. Linebackers Obi Ezehand Jonas Mouton, holdoversfrom Carr’s last team, will get achance to lead a unit that needsRyan Van Bergen and CraigRoh to rush the passer to help ashaky secondary.

Michigan’s kicking gamemight be a problem with an un-proven kicker — Brendan Gib-bons or Seth Broekhuizen —freshman punter Will Hagerupand without a returner with asuccessful track record.

Rodriguez will create a lot ofcompetitive situations in campand he’ll have to take a breakduring his first week of practice,flying to Seattle on Friday for anNCAA hearing the next day.

The NCAA outlined five ma-jor rules violations, all related topractices and workouts, in a no-tice of allegations sent to theschool in February. The onlyone the school strongly dis-agrees with was the one thatcharged Rodriguez with afailure to promote an atmos-phere of compliance in hisprogram.

Rodriguez insisted theNCAA hearing will not be adistraction for his players.

“All that other stuff, I toldthem, ‘Let me handle it,”’ Ro-driguez said.

Michigan State talking about winning the Big Ten LARRY LAGE,AP Sports Writer

Michigan State coach MarkDantonio likes the fact that hisplayers are openly talkingabout ending the school's BigTen title drought and finallygetting back to the Rose Bowl.

“Those possibilities are real,”Dantonio said Tuesday, a dayafter the team's first practice.

The Spartans have one ofthe best defensive players inthe country, linebacker GregJones, and experienced quar-terback Kirk Cousins.

History is working againstthem: Michigan State's lastconference championship wasin 1990 and the Spartanshave not played in Pasadena,Calif., since the 1987 season.

Dantonio said both streakscan end this season becausehis fourth team at MichiganState is the most talented he'sha”

“We go into every gamefeeling like we can win,” hesaid.

If the Spartans earn enoughvictories to make it to anybowl game, they will match aschool record with a fourthstraight postseason bid, equal-ing the streak that started

with their last Rose Bowl ap-pearance and stopped withtheir previous Big Ten title.

Jones and Cousins give theSpartans a shot to be good onboth sides of the ball.

The All-American Joneswon the Big Ten defensiveplayer of the year award lastseason after ranking amongthe nation's leaders with 154tackles and the conference'sbest with nine sacks. Insteadof entering the NFL draftand cashing in on his success,he returned for his seniorseason.

“I'm just really excited to beback with the team to help ustry to win a championship,”said Jones, who said he hasadded 15 pounds of musclesince last season. “Instead ofguys just saying we want to bea champs, guys actually put inthe work during the offseason.”

To win this fall, MichiganState has to be much betterthan it was last year whenteams threw the ball.

The Spartans ranked last inthe Big Ten in pass defense —giving up 32 touchdownsthrough the air — and didn'thave a player with more thanone interception for the firsttime since 1954.

“A lot of times, we were in aposition to make plays,” saidcornerback Chris Rucker, oneof two returning starters in thesecondary. “This year, we haveto make plays.”

The Spartans shouldn't havetrouble scoring when theyhave the ball.

Cousins trailed only oneBig Ten player in passing ef-ficiency last season, throwing19 touchdowns and nine in-terceptions. He was the sec-ond player in school historyand the first in 60 years to benamed captain as a sopho-more, then showed more lead-ership by spending time withteammates this summer.

B.J. Cunningham and MarkDell will have an opportuni-ty to be go-to targets — gettinga second chance to play afterbeing involved in a brawl witha fraternity last year — andconverted quarterback KeithNichol is trying to get on thefield as a receiver.

Larry Caper and EdwinBaker, who combined to runfor nearly 900 yards as fresh-men last year, will share hand-offs behind an offensive linewith two returning startersfrom last year's 6-7 team.

“We were very close —maybe only a few plays —from having a special seasonand maybe being 10-2,”Cousins said. “When we get inclose situations this year, weneed to come out on top.”

Michigan State doesn't haveits all-time scoring leader —Brett Swenson — around any-more to make game-winningkicks and hopes Dan Con-roy, Kevin Muma or MikeSadler emerge as a clear-cutstarter during training camp.

As important as anythingthe Spartans do on the field,their conduct off it will viewedwith a critical eye.

Eleven current or formerplayers pleaded guilty to mis-demeanor charges in con-nection with the fraternityfight last November, andRucker says he accepts thatthe poor choices he and team-mates marred the program.

“When you make mistakes,you've got to be ready to paythe consequences,” said Ruck-er, who was sentenced to 12months of probation and 150hours of community service.“I know it's going to be arough road with that, but I'mlooking forward to us clean-ing up our image.”

Another title would put Ohio St. in elite companyBy RUSTY MILLERAP Sports Writer

There’s a spot in the histo-ry books awaiting the 2010Ohio State Buckeyes.

Thing is, their coach doesn’twant them to give it a secondthought.

Only Woody Hayes’ power-house Ohio State squads of1972-77 ever captured all or apiece of six straight conferencetitles. The Buckeyes, winners ofthree outright and two shared ti-tles in the last five years, coulddo it again this fall.

Coach Jim Tressel, enteringhis 10th year on the job, is waryof using a Buckeye Six-Pack asmotivation.

“It might mean something tothat guy who’s been here four orfive years,” he said. Then headded, “If that becomes a focalpoint at all, I’m sure that’s not theway any of us should be think-ing.”

To Tressel, looking aheadspells doom.

The Buckeyes are stackedwith talent, with nine startersback on offense and five on de-fense. The schedule isn’t a killer,despite the dangerous MiamiHurricanes coming to Columbusin Week 2, along with roadtests against conference bulliesIowa and Wisconsin.

But Tressel says it’s far too ear-ly to start comparing his current

Buckeyes with those legendaryteams from the ’70s that in-cluded Archie Griffin, Pete John-son, Cornelius Greene, TomCousineau and Tim Fox.

“You have those discussionsabout streaks and accomplish-ments and all those kinds ofthings when seasons are over,and hopefully not during them,”he said.

Quarterback Terrelle Pryor,coming off an MVP perform-ance in the Rose Bowl, believeshe and his teammates not onlyhave the talent but the togeth-erness to make it six in a row.

“If you’re willing to make thatplay for the guy next to you, that’sthe biggest thing,” said the jun-ior. “We compete like crazy hereand we’re all willing to get bet-ter. Guys are always out after theworkouts, doing extra liftingand doing extra running and justgetting their technique down.Stuff like that. Working on theirhands, guys catching 500 ballsa week.”

Pryor had an up-and-down2009 season, stepping into thebackground to hand off to run-ning backs Brandon Saine andDan Herron after injuring aknee late in the campaign.Arthroscopic surgery in Febru-ary cleaned up the knee and hashim bristling to get going this fall.

“It’s night-and-day from lastyear until now,” he said. “It’samazing to me and I’m just

getting anxious.”Pryor became the first Ohio

State quarterback to lead theteam in rushing since the schoolstarted keeping records back inthe ’40s. He also completed 57percent of his passes for 161 yardsa game, for 18 touchdowns with11 interceptions.

He may be the triggerman buthe has lots surrounding him. Hisfavorite receivers are both back.DeVier Posey had 60 catches for838 yards and eight touch-downs with Dane Sanzenbach-er adding 36 receptions for 570yards (15.8 per catch) and sixscores.

Saine (739 yards, 5.1 per car-ry) and Herron (600 yards, 3.9per) are both back. So is fullbackZach Boren, linemen J.B.Shugarts, Bryant Browning,Mike Brewster and Zach’s bigbrother, Justin Boren. Thatleaves just one spot on the line,the one filled last year by lefttackle Jim Cordle, and the tightend spot vacated by Jake Ballard,to be filled.

There are more losses on de-fense, but the core players return.Cameron Heyward will anchorthe line from his end spot, fromwhich he had 6.5 sacks and 10tackles for minus yardage in lastyear’s 11-2 season. Mobile and ac-tive Ross Homan and BrianRolle are back for their seniorseasons at linebacker. ChimdiChekwa and Devon Torrence

once again hold down the cor-ner positions.

Tressel will rely on promisingbut unproven young playerssuch as John Simon, SolomonThomas and Nathan Williamsup front, Etienne Sabino in thelinebacker spot held by thegraduated Austin Spitler, andJermale Hines and OrhianJohnson, among others, plug-ging the holes at safety.

“As excited as I am about theolder group, the younger guysare an unknown,” said Tressel,94-21 overall and 59-13 in theBig Ten during his Ohio Statetenure. “I think they’re talented.I think our biggest concern is stillfiguring out who we are as awhole. I think we know who weare from a core, but who are weas a whole group?”

After a Thursday night open-er against Marshall on Sept. 2,the Buckeyes host those ’Canesin the first of a home-and-homeseries on Sept. 11. They open BigTen play against Illinois andIndiana before a big test at Wis-consin and reigning Big Ten of-fensive player of the year JohnClay. Purdue, which stunnedthe Buckeyes in West Lafayette,Ind., last year, comes next, thistime at Ohio Stadium.

Ohio State closes out the yearwith home games against PennState and Michigan, with a ma-jor showdown at Iowa in be-tween.
