Harrisburg Patriot News Season Preview
From Sunday's Patriot-News:
GETTYSBURG:
Senior Centennial coach Barry Streeter (28 years at Gettysburg) may have the most prolific scoring machine in the league if sophomore quarterback Matt Flynn and senior running back and co-captain Tom Sturges can match or surpass last year's effort.
Flynn, who took over as Gettysburg's starter by the second game, passed for 1,546 yards and 14 touchdowns as the Bullets finished at 5-5.
Sturges has led the Centennial Conference in rushing the last two seasons, despite being absent for the Dickinson game last year. He rushed for 1,141 yards and nine touchdowns last season.
Going with the top offensive weapons for Gettysburg is senior co-captain Harold Barton, who has had 100 or more tackles from his linebacker position each of the past two seasons.
"We were just a touchdown away in a couple of games from sharing the league title last season," said Streeter. "With a year of experience behind him, I expect Flynn to be one of the conference leaders this season. And Sturges always gives us a solid running game."
Other expected top players for the Bullets this season should be placekicker Josh Huson, linebacker James Hulobowich, offensive lineman James Russell and defensive back Kyle Luciano. All are seniors; Russell and Luciano will serve as co-captains.
Gettysburg, which opens its season Sept. 1 by hosting Lebanon Valley, also plays a Friday night game Sept. 14 at Johns Hopkins.
