Warwick still smarting from loss to CV

Glancing through the preview tab for the Lancaster-Lebanon League revealed a few mentions of Cumberland Valley. The Eagles ended the seasons of L-L Section I members Warwick and Penn Manor before falling to Wilson in the District 3 Class AAAA final.

CV's first victim, Warwick, used a 49-13 setback in the first round of the playoffs at Chapman Field for motivation heading into this season.

Gordie Jones, a correspondent who wrote the season preview on the Warriors, stated that CV is a "perennial power and the type of team Warwick (among many others) hopes to become."

Dimitri Gerard, a guard-defensive end told Jones that playing CV was "an eye-opener."

Fullback-middle linebacker Chris Schaffer went a step further when recounting the season-ending loss: "It shows that you're not as good as you think you are," Schaffer told Jones. "We went in thinking, 'All right, we can give these guys a game.' We thought we were prepared. Obviously, they play some good ball up there. We got handled."
