    93 Austintown FitchYoungstownOHFirst Game: Aug. 26, Harding - See capsules for teams 91-95

    No. 93 Austintown-Fitch, Ohio
    COACH: Phil Annarella
    LAST SEASON: 10-2
    FINAL 2010 RANKING: No. 28 in Ohio
    KEEP AN EYE ON: Whether the team will toughen up in time for the playoffs. Last year, the team did not experience much resistance through the regular season with just two hard-fought games - a win over Canton McKinley and an unexpected loss to Uniontown Lake - before getting to the playoffs. The team rose up to beat Willoughby South in the first round, only get to blanked 41-0 by Solon the next week. This season, the team faces a better schedule but to get out of its region, it will see the likes of St. Edward, St. Ignatius, Solon, Mentor and Glenville among others. It will need to be ready for those games.
    STRENGTH: The offense of this team will be the strength. High scoring totals will be the norm; with three Division I skill position players on the offensive side of the ball, it will be tough for any team to slow the Falcons down. The firepower will be there with Demitrious Davis at quarterback, his twin brother Chris Davis at receiver and William Mahone in the backfield. STAR OF THE SHOW: Mahone is the highest-ranked player of the trio and with good reason - he is the best player on the team. The offense will certainly still run through Demetrious Davis, but when the plays need to be made - like in the playoffs last season against Willoughby South - it will be Mahone that the team looks to for the boost. With recent trips to Notre Dame, Michigan State and Penn State, he will certainly be a guy looking to pound the ball on Saturdays. MAKING A MOVE: When Demetrious Davis went down last season with a knee injury in the playoffs, his backup, Matt Futkos, was able to step in and manage the game for a victory. This year, Futkos has worked on his footwork and arm strength and could push for more time. The move, if it were to happen, would allow the Falcons to slide both of the Davis twins to the receiver positions and add more weapons on the field. While a timeshare isn't expected, Futkos could see more than just mop up duty this year.

    Speed tho.

    No shit. I remember beating St. Eds my senior year at Fitch in hoops when you guys had Sam Clancy (USC), Steve Logan(went to Cincy and played 4 years, he started as a Fresh) I fouled him shooting a 3 when we were up 3 with 1 sec left (lol I know). He shanked all 3. They also had a stud white kid at forward who dunked on us 2 times. Member this shit Premier? Prolly before your time I imagine.
    Edit: Sick brag about graduating from St. Ed's. Do you guys ever suck in any sport? Recruiting mbn tho??
    Edit #2: Just saw you open with Glennville. Fun.

  10. number 9:
    http://highschool.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1248869
    No. 9 Louisville Trinity
    COACH: Bob Beatty
    LAST SEASON: 15-1, Kentucky Class 6A State Champs
    FINAL 2010 RANKING: No. 67 in RivalsHigh 100 The Louisville (Ky.) Trinity Shamrocks enter the season as the unquestioned favorite to win a state title. Of course, that's no surprise as the program has won a state title in eight of the past 10 years.
    But this fall, with its roster loaded with talent and a schedule loaded with tests, the program has the opportunity to be the first school from Kentucky to make a legitimate run at a national title.
    With a group of senior offensive linemen, a returning core of junior skill players and a supporting cast of talented sophomores, this group of Shamrocks wants to prove doubters of Kentucky football wrong.
    [SIZE=1]James Quick could make Trinity fans all-smiles with a big season.[/SIZE] "Trinity is a different breed," Howie Lindsey, the managing editor for the Louisville Sports Report and its online products CardinalSports.com and KentuckyPreps.com, said. "It is easy for people to forget the city of Louisville has 1.2 million people, and that Trinity, a private school in the heart of the city's East End, can draw from that large population of talent."
    It is a roster of players from all over the city who have been attracted like a magnet to the school's football program as well as its top-tier education.
    The offensive line is loaded, featuring tackle Joey Warburg (6-foot-6, 265 pounds), an Illinois commit, as well as Division-I prospects center John Michael Heile (6-3, 275) and tackle Tyler English (6-4, 275).
    Heile has an offer from Columbia and expects to add major Division I offers with a solid season. English does not have current offers but Virginia Tech has been inquiring.
    The trio will be charged with protecting quarterback Travis Wright.
    Wright is just a junior, but he is an experienced one. As a sophomore, he took the reigns of the program and led it to a state title and the No. 67 spot in the final RivalsHigh 100 ranking. His efforts made locals start to make comparisons to the program's favorite son, Brian Brohm.
    Wright and the junior class are what makes this team special.
    "The Rocks' sophomore and junior classes are as talented as just about any school in the country," Lindsey said. "They are the city's premier program right now."
    The group is headlined by wide receiver James Quick and defensive end Jason Hatcher - both of which are being recruited by Alabama among many others.
    With running back Dalyn Dawkins and cornerback Ryan White rounding out a quintet of juniors that could all end up being Division I contributors in a few years, this Trinity team can transcend stereotypical beliefs of football in the area.
    "I have my doubts whether a public school team from Kentucky could compete with some of the monster programs in other states," Lindsey said. "Public school teams in Louisville split talent with all the other public schools and get poached for talent by the privates."
    Having the talent that it does makes Trinity unique.
    It still isn't without its potential challenges though.
    A shift from last season with Derek Bishop to the smaller Dayln Dawkins at runningback is one.
    Dawkins is listed at 5-foot-9 and 175 pounds and is not a pounder, but he has breakaway speed that few can compete with.
    Maybe no other series of plays typified the explosiveness of Dawkins than a playoff game with Louisville (Ky.) Manual, when - on a fourth-and-5 play, Dawkins broke a tackle in the backfield and scored from 30 yards out. A penalty negated that play, but on fourth-and-15 and the very next snap, Dawkins took the same play call down the sidelines for a 40-yard touchdown run.
    While Manual is a quality Louisville team, it is not on the scale that Trinity will face week in and week out this season.
    "We're excited about this schedule," Trinity athletic director Dennis Lampley said in a press release. "It provides our team with top-notch competition, which only makes everyone work harder."
    The schedule includes games against three Ohio teams, two Tennessee teams and an Indiana school as well as three district games against what may be three of the best 10 teams in Kentucky.
    "Our fans should get a real kick out of seeing this caliber of football," Lampley said.
    It is a schedule that will quickly either justify the Shamrocks or see the expectations crash back down to earth.
    "I think Trinity will justify their ranking in most of the games, but I wonder if playing five-straight games against big-time out-of-state competition will take its toll," Lindsey said. "That stretch is the first five weeks of the season. If Trinity is undefeated going into the annual St. X-Trinity matchup on Sept. 30, they have earned the Top 10 national ranking."
    Lampley is padding the fanbase for possible mixed results.
    "(Our fans) need to be ready for wins and losses," he said. "They need to keep in mind that a schedule like this only makes us that much more ready for the playoffs."
    Competing with some of the best teams in the country and successfully navigating the schedule could put Trinity in line to claim the highest finish for a team in Kentucky history.
    It could also propel the team to a RivalsHigh 100 title.
  11. Had to play against 10, 12, 67, and 83 during the regular season or playoffs every year from 95-98. Dwyer and St. Thomas Aquinas were just ridiculous good every year. St. Thomas is just ridiculous, and I'm surprised they aren't in the top 5 tbh.
  12. Lol at bishop-gorman @ 7, 5 years ago they were getting smashed by everyone.
  13. its highschool football, do people really care?
  14. Sorry it couldn't be about ice fishing there bucko.
