Early indications from Pennsylvania Football News headquarters are three area teams will be mentioned in the publication's preseason polls.
Almost a lock to crack the Class AA top 10 is Trinity. The Shamrocks, who open at Lancaster Catholic on Aug. 29, have a solid nucleus back from last year's District 3 runner-up team that finished 12-1. Lineman Nick Kindler has committed to West Virginia University while split end/safety Christian Kuntz has verballed to Penn State University.
Two other teams should start 2008 on the PFN's Others to Watch List. In Class AAA, East Pennsboro, led by speedy senior running back Tyler Rivera and senior quarterback Wes Strayer, should make some noise after going 4-6 last year. An important note is that half of those losses were by four points or fewer.
In Class A perennial district challenger Camp Hill will appear just outside the top 10. The Lions have the same issue a very good Millersburg team had the last two years. To make it out of Distirct 3, one has to beat defending state champion Steelton-Highspire. Last fall, Camp Hill beat the Rollers, 28-21, in the regular season before losing, 33-0, in the district semifinals. Quarterback Tyler Shover, The Sentinel's Offensive Player of the Year in 2007, is back to lead offensive coordinator Steve Shover's dynamic attack, which appears to grow a new set of legs each week.
