I recently sent out 2011 season preview forms to state coaches. I've already received quite a few back. Starting today, I'll occasionally post preseason information about state teams leading up to the 2011 season (first game is Sept. 14!).


DERBY
Coach: George French (2nd year)
Last season: 5-5 (5-1 NVL Brass Division)
Top players
Jacob Tomczak (6-1, 200), Sr., WR/FS
Raymond Kreiger (6-0, 185), Sr., QB/DB
Brian Dobek (5-10, 175), Sr., WR/LB
Tim Adanti (6-4, 215), Sr., WR/DE
Strengths
Team speed, talent in the skill positions.
Weaknesses
Depth, Defense (allowed over 26 points per game last season).

A contender for the NVL Brass Division title and Class S playoff berth.
Note
Will fly solo this year after its co-op with O'Brien Tech was disbanded.
