Blue Mountain
Last year: 10-2, 7-2 Anthracite Football League. Eastern Conference Class AAA champion
Head coach: Cory Mabry (11th overall)
Key losses: QB-DB Sean Greenawalt, TE-LB Zach Martin, OL-DE Derrec Robinson, OL-DL Trevor Emerich
Key returnees: DL Erech Noecker, OL-DL Jon Ege, K-P Christian Puzzi, RB-LB Lucas Forbes
Name you haven’t heard yet, but will this season: WR-DB Spencer Welsh
Summer camps/7-on-7s attended: Sunday night 7-on-7 league in July at Hamburg, included Muhlenberg, Reading, Shenandoah Valley
Coach’s comment on summer workouts: “They’ve been working very hard. Things have gone well. The kids have been working extremely, extremely hard.”
Two burning questions heading into camp:
A — Breaking in a new quarterback. Junior Mason Freed, who started Eastern Conference final, will be the starter.
B — Building an offensive line. Ege returns, but four starters graduated.
