Football preview: Brookville
This is another in a series of capsules previewing area high school football for the 2010 season:
BROOKVILLE (D-IV, Region 16)
League: SWBL Southwestern
Coach: Mike Hetrick (10 years)
2009 record: 2-4, 5-5
Key returners:
Austen Alber, sr., OL
Connor Domsitz, jr., OL/DL
Cameron Dunn, OL/DL, sr.
Jake Harrison, sr., QB
Chad Webster, sr., RB/LB
Dylan Whorton, sr., WR/DB
Eric Wolfe, sr., OL/DL
Extra points:
The Blue Devils are pulling a reverse from the 2009 season: The offensive line is a strength for ‘10 - led by three seniors - and the backfield comes in inexperienced. Harrison, though, does provide some stability.
“Last year going into the year we lost about our entire line and had two or three backs back. Now we have our line back, but our backfield is kind of inexperienced except for our quarterback,” Hetrick said.
Road Warriors serves as the team theme for the season. The first four games are on the road, as are six of their 10 overall. Last season, Brookville played just four games on the road going 2-2.
The team finished .500 last season, but the Blue Devils went 0-5 versus teams with winning records. That’ll have to change for Brookville to recapture the magic from a 10-0 season and playoff appearance in 2008.
“We’re Division IV and playing in the big-school division. Out of the 14 teams we’re about the 11th-smallest school. We’re butting heads with the big schools, which is what we like, but it always makes it a little tough on us,” Hetrick said.
