Football preview: Meadowdale
This is another in a series of capsules previewing area high school football for the 2010 season:
MEADOWDALE (D-II, Region 8)
League: Dayton City League
Coach: Bosie Miliner (18th year)
2009 record: 2-2, 2-8
Key returners:
Allen Bumpus, jr., WR/DB
DeMarcus Harris, sr., WR/DB
Travion Ramey, sr., DB
Extra points:
Aside from the returners, Meadowdale could get significant help this season from a pair of sophomores.
One, Al McCathon, is in the running to be the school’s starting quarterback, but he’ll also be in the defensive backfield. He’ll pair with Trae Harris, slated to be a cornerback, to give the school some defensive help and avoid late-game struggles that surfaced last season.
“Last year we had the talent, but come the fourth quarter we just didn’t perform when we needed to,” Miliner said. “We’re trying to not go back to last year, but stay fresh, give us a better chance late in games.”
Harris was one of the team’s top performers last season, but Miliner said the senior is undecided about whether he’ll again play football. Ramey should also gain more playing time after acclimating to multiple jobs last season.
“It was his first time as far as playing free safety, and he rotated on offense,” Miliner said. “He didn’t play a whole lot, but he did some of his bets stuff on defense.”
The Lions have been participating in 7-on-7 tournaments throughout the summer, and Miliner said the offense and defense have looked more even than in past years.
“We should have some playmakers, but the question is whether they can make plays,” Miliner said. “If they do, we have a chance to be good.”

7 home games, is this a typo…and the away games, those are also played at The Stadium, correct? Is there only true road game Monroe?
