Three teams named to PFN's rankings


Cumberland Valley, Northern and East Pennsboro all made the ‘Others to Watch’ list in the Pennsylvania Football News preseason rankings, which were officially released Wednesday. The complete rankings can be found here.

CV returns eight starters from last year’s 12-2 team that appeared in the District 3 Class AAAA championship game. It was the Eagles’ first trip to a district final since 2003.

In Class AAA, Northern is looking for a return trip to at least the District 3 quarterfinals after being bounced by Daniel Boone in the first round last fall.

Northern has nine starters returning, including junior quarterback Joe Tuschak, who will be expected to take control in his second year as a starter.

Just like CV, East Pennsboro is coming off a resurgent season that saw the Panthers make the district field for the first time since 2002.

After a 5-5 regular season, Mechanicsburg trounced East Penn, 35-7, in the first round of the 3-AAA playoffs.

East Penn welcomes back 12 starters, including seven on defense.

The Sentinel’s season preview edition will be released Sept. 4.
