ROSSFORD
Rossford is striving to
build on last season.
The Bulldogs finished
9-3 overall and 6-1 in the
Northern
Buckeye
Conference, and advanced
to the second round of the
Division V state playoffs.
But repeating last seasons success wont be
easy.
Although the Bulldogs
return 17 lettermen and
have 18 seniors, they were
hit hard by graduation. Just
eight starters three on
offense and five on defense
return.
Rossford won its final
six regular-season games
and its first playoff game
last fall. The Bulldogs
were second in the NBC,
losing only at Lake in their
conference opener by a
49-46 score. The Flyers
enjoyed a 10-0 regular season and advanced to the
Division V playoffs.
Our effort is there,
said Rossford coach Todd
Drusback, who is starting
his seventh season. Our
enthusiasm, energy, inten-

of those
intangib l e s

looking
for, we
have.
Im not
really
s u r Drusback
prised
w i t h
that, knowing the group of
guys we have. Weve had a
good start to camp.
Although
Rossford
returns only eight starters,
Drusback said many of the
lettermen received significant playing time last fall.
The Bulldogs have 57
players. In addition to the
18 seniors, they have 12
juniors, 11 sophomores
and 16 freshmen.
Were an inexperienced team, but were not
a young team, Drusback
said. We had a lot of
(lettermen) get quality
playing time last season,
not just in the fourth quarter when the game was
already decided, but playing time when the game
wasnt decided. Thats a
benefit.
And Rossford faces a
difficult start to the season.
It has nonconference
games at Bowling Green,
at home against Port
Clinton and at Northwood,
and then hosts Lake to start
NBC play. BG was 8-3 last
season, while PC was 7-4
and Northwood was 6-4.

experience is to play, and

Developing our offensive

The other returning
offensive starters are senior

to quarterback from receiver. Sinclair and Orr combined for 15 receptions for
323 yards and five TDs

Orr was Rossfords
junior varsity quarterback
as a sophomore.

Drusback said of Orr. He
knows the position since
hes played it in the past.
He can make all of the
throws. Hes gotten bigger,
faster and stronger, and be

position.
Now, he can see the
quarterback position from

quarterback as well.

Drusback said.

SEASON OPENER
Michigan opens the
season Sept. 3 against
Hawaii with Michael
Jordan scheduled to be on
hand as an honorary captain because the Wolverines
are the first football team
to wear Jordan Brand
apparel.
After everyone gets
done looking at Jordan and
Harbaugh, they will shift
to the player who ends up
taking snaps for the maize

PREDICTION
Michigan will win 11
games, surpassing last seasons total. Loses on the
road to rivals Ohio State
and Michigan State,
though, hold Harbaugh
back from having a special
season in his second year.
