To help pass the time between now and the start of the 2013 PIAA High School Football season I am going to be giving a look at two teams a day. I will give try to call out a few impact student athletes on offense, defense, as well as pinpoint one of the storylines as they open training camp.

Check this blog all season for scores, stats, and predictions, and players of the week...



Head Coach: Steve Moyer

Last year's record: 0-10 overall, 0-9 in PAC-10

Training Camp Question: There is nowhere to go but up for the Indians. And because of some talented players back in the mix, there is reason to believe "up" could mean a postseason appearance, and possible win, in Class AAA on the horizon. If you take the Indians lightly this season senior Aidan Schaffer will be sure to scramble you up. The big-time running back knows coach Moyer's offensive playbook like back of his hand and could be in store for an all-league worthy year. This year will be all about proving people wrong. One win at a time.

Offensive Standout: Sr. Aidan Schaffer (RB)
Defensive Standout: Sr. Travis Kline (DB)
Breakout: Jr. Wyatt Brumm (QB)





Head Coach: Adam Beach

Last year's record: 7-5 overall, 4-3 in Suburban One American Conference

Training Camp Question: The Golden Bears have their man back in Adam Beach and the club could not be happier. The purple and gold reached the playoffs last season under Dave Heying, but his two year-stint came to end when he moved on to coach defense at Pennridge. Beach, who coached from 2004-2010 was ready to resume his head coaching duties on Terwood Road. Beach inherits a strong senior class and even stronger chance to make a deep run in the Class AAA playoffs.

Offensive Standout: Sr. Charlie Hooker (QB)
Defensive Standout: Sr. Drew Finnie (LB)
Breakout: Sr. CJ Jackson (RB)

Check back tomorrow for William Tennent and Wissahickon
