Training Camp Insider: Mechanicsburg
Last season will never be far from the minds of Mechanicsburg’s players as they prepare for the 2009 campaign.
In their locker room up the hill from the football stadium, the coaches have posted the box score from their lone loss in 2008, 28-13 to Sidney Lehman Catholic in the regional final. Above the box score, it reads, “Do You Remember?”
Below that is another box score, this from a loss to West Jefferson in the 2007 season opener. The Indians again open with West Jefferson this season, on Aug. 28.
If those games aren’t motivation enough, the coaches have also posted a list of the team’s goals in 2009:
“Be the more physical team in every game we play!”
“Beat West Jefferson!”
“Win the OHC!”
“Make the playoffs!”
“Win the region!”
The goals are simple enough. Achieving them will be something else. The Indians lost a number of key players from the 2008 squad that went 12-1. Among those was graduated senior quarterback Andy Huffman, who led the area’s top-scoring offense last season.
Replacing him will be senior Joe Webb, Huffman’s top target at receiver last fall, and junior Alex Huffman.
“Both of those guys are competing and doing a great job throwing the ball,” Mechanicsburg coach Chris Kosiorek said. “We’ve had a very successful summer at 7-on-7s.”
