Since you asked......
Fort Hill should be the best team in the area, At least until someone in the area beats them. They have a lot of holes to fill but have the five or six best football players in the area. Braydon Brown will be the go to guy, he needs to get some touches this year. On the line, Fort Hill needs to replace the tackles and a center. The good news is that they have some size and the coaching to develop the kids. The schedule looks more challenging than it has in years. Clearfield will be a good early test for week one, Last year, against Keyser they jumped out early but their young team wore down. This year I don't expect them to wear out as they return most of their starters. Sherando will be tough, but South Hagerstown will be interesting. South has loaded up their schedule. If they come in against Fort Hill with a winning record, I'll consider them the best team on Fort Hill's schedule. I'm almost expecting to see Ohio State on SH's schedule. they didn't say no to anyone! But back to Fort Hill, I'd like to see them at 9-0 going into Homecoming but I wouldn't be shocked to see them at 6-3.
Alco returns almost everyone. I think that they had some seniors on the line but I'm also thinking that several underclassmen got some starts. The biggest hole that they need to fill will be Robinette, and I don't think that they can. Robinette was a flat out stud of a football player. He will be missed, and James Madison got a steal. Alco's schedule is not strong, but I'll say something about that later. They should be 9-0 going into Homecoming.
As far as Mountain Ridge is concerned, I feel that they need to go back to the bone. I know that Devore changed his offense to motivate his players but the truth is that the coaches can only teach what they know, and they know the "bone".
As far as the West Region goes, it's a little scary for Fort Hill. Southern, Northern, Hancock, and Clear Spring play extremely light schedules. They are looking to sneak into the playoffs no matter what. And they don't care if they get beaten by 60 in the first round, they just want to get in. North Carroll and Man Valley also play a schedule that pretty much guarantees 6-8 wins. Then throw in the fact that Boonsboro is now back in 1A and things might get tight as far as getting one of the four playoff spots. I'll predict that there will be a 7-3 team in the 1A west that won't make the playoffs this year.
That's all from me for now, anyone else?
