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: Bob Rosenberger

Last year's record: 4-6 overall, 3-4 in Suburban One National Conference

Training Camp Question: Rosenberger made his dream job  a reality this summer. It was not a straight path to Warminster, as he got caught up in Horsham for a few days, but eventually the former Panther player himself got his chance to turn Tennent around. Last year as the defensive coordinator for Pennridge Rosenberger built a "brickwall-of-a-unit" with undersized players. He will have to try that one more time with the Panthers in the talented National Conference. In 2014 when the conferences are aligned by school size, the sky is the limit if the team can buy into Rosenberger's energy-filled coaching style.

Offensive Standout: Sr. Alex Perks (RB)
Defensive Standout: Sr. Mark Isaac (DE)
Breakout: Jr. Nik Banks (QB)

Head Coach: Jeff Cappa

Last year's record: 8-4 overall, 5-2 in Suburban One American Conference

Training Camp Question: Jeff Cappa spent the season last year throwing out cliche lines to media after every game. "We just want to get better every game," he would say. And as excited as he was about a win, the same emotion level was received after a loss. The Trojans stayed calm, cool, and collected, just like coach Cappa preached, and when the time came - they pounced. The Trojans finished the regular season strong, sneaked into the District One playoffs and took down the top seed in the playoffs. Even with several starters lost to graduation, the experience of last year's postseason shocker helps the Trojans enter this year knowing anything is obtainable with hard work, one game at a time.

Offensive Standout: Sr. Dave Stellato (QB)
Defensive Standout: Jr. Colin Williams (OLB)
Breakout: Sr. Chase Wilson (WR)
