Rittman Indians - 2010 team capsule
POSTED: 02:56 p.m. EDT, Aug 25, 2010
RITTMAN INDIANS
League: Wayne County Athletic League.
Coach: Brent Besancon, second year at school, fourth year overall.
Coach's record: 1-9 at school, 12-18 overall.
2009 record: 1-9, 0-7.
Players to Watch:Brandon Gbc BrabdonGec Bauman, Sr., QB-DB; Tim Fargo, Sr., C; Jacob Hercula, Jr., G; Aaron Shaum, Sr., T; Trevor Sahagian, Sr., G; Devyn Turbeville, Sr., WR; Ian Underation, Sr., WR; Kevin Dotterer, Sr., RB-LB; Zach Erne, Sr. WR-DB; Anthony Loudin, Soph., RB-LB; Daniel Norton, Jr., B-DB; Logan Rufener, Sr., WR-DB; Lucas Wiggins, Jr., T-DT; Garrett Green, Sr., RB-LB; Dylan Litman, Jr., TE-DE; Justin Tanner, Jr., RB- LB; Nick Walls, Jr., TE-DE.
Outlook: The hope is that the wing-T takes flight this year with more experience led by first-team All-WCAL QB Bauman and wide receiver Turbeville (second team All-WCAL). Of the six returning starters, four are offensive linemen, which should help an erratic offense that five times scored seven points or fewer. The Indians lost their final nine games last year after defeating Conotton Valley (0-10) 27-0 in the season opener.

Outlook: Masters will be moved around on offense and is very good at safety. Sophomore Peyakov (6- 2, 170 pounds) ‘‘could be a pleasant surprise,’’ according to France, after being on the junior varsity squad last year.

France puts Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy as the favorite, with Tuslaw and Triway also contenders and the Panthers could be in the mix.

Outlook: This is the final year in the NBC for the Indians and there is much enthusiasm now that a levy finally has passed. Whiting says the team ‘‘will be surprising.’’ The Indians have five returning starters on offense and defense. Riley, 6-5, 200, is the trigger man to watch after throwing for 420 yards and four touchdowns and replacing Bryan Jones (3,030 yards) and versatile Evan Bach (1,546 yards). The offense is led by receiver Hoffman (750 yards) and tailback Beers, who had 388 yards in receptions. The offensive line is anchored by Galley (6-1, 260), Gromofsky (6-0, 220) and Hutchison (6-2, 230). The coach says the road to the title goes through Louisville, Marlington and Carrollton.

Walsh Jesuit Warriors - 2010 team capsule
POSTED: 03:29 p.m. EDT, Aug 25, 2010
WALSH JESUIT WARRIORS
League: Independent.
Coach: Gerry Rardin, 31st season.
Coach's record: 219-101-2.
2009 record: 5-4.
Players to Watch:Connor Cook, Sr., QB; Adam Redmond, Sr., OL; John Manson, Sr. OL-DL; Reed Remington, Sr. DE; Anthony Melchiorre, Sr., DT; Tyler Starkey, Sr., WR; Vinny Pugliese, Sr., LB; Drew Kaser, Sr., P; Ryan Jun, Jr., LB-RB; Trent Donald, Jr., DE; Ross Martin, Jr. PK; Brock Jones, Jr., RB-DB; Kevin Enright, Jr., TE, Dane O'Driscoll, Jr., OL, Doug Krochka, Sr., OL; Aaron Barna, Sr., DB.
Outlook: Cook, a 6-foot-5 and 220-pound Michigan State recruit, will guide a Warriors' offense that returns five starters. ‘‘The kid has played all summer,’’ Rardin said of Cook. ‘‘He is definitely a Big Ten- caliber quarterback. He is unbelievably fast, strong and he has a strong arm. The rap on him last year was he made bad decisions. He is making better decisions now.’’ Jones, Jun and sophomore Josh Kuehn are expected to be the primary running backs, and Redmond will lead the offensive line. Rardin said Kaser and Martin are receiving interest from Division I colleges and both attended the Nike Chris Sailer National Kicking Spring Event in May. ‘‘Both of those kids unbelievable,’’ Rardin said. ‘‘They are top-ranked kickers.’’

Wooster Generals - 2010 team capsule
POSTED: 03:32 p.m. EDT, Aug 25, 2010
WOOSTER GENERALS
League: Ohio Cardinal Conference.
Coach: Mike McCreary, 12th year.
Coach's record: 58-54.
2009 record: 5-5, 3-4.
Players to Watch:Duke Price, Sr., WR-DB; Bryce Pasquariello, Sr., RB-LB; Zach Ellsworth, Sr., QB-DB; Kyle Miller, Sr., WR-DB; Austin Carstensen, Sr., TE-DB; Jesse Jolliff, Sr., RB-NG; John Kaser, Sr., OL-DL; Darrian Owens, Soph., WR-DB; Devonta Anderson, Jr., RB-DB; Shaquille Owens, Jr., OL-DL; Keegan Bess, Jr., TB-DB, Grant Stokes, Soph., OL-LB; Trevor Villegas, Jr., OL-LB; Devin Daugherty, Jr., QB-DB.
Outlook: Skill positions will be the Generals' strength with the likes of three-year letterman Price and fellow senior Pasquariello leading the spread offense, which scored 94 of 241 points last season in the first quarter. Coach McCreary likes the team's speed and says the players ‘‘have good football sense.’’ The big worry is the offensive line. The OCC looks very balanced with defending champion Ashland, Clear Fork, Orrville, Lexington and Wooster all having shots at the title. The Wooster- Orrville rivalry has its 100th meeting this season in Week 10 and is one of the oldest in Ohio.
