Catholic League Central Division Preview
By CRYSTAL KRAUSKOFF of The Oakland Press
1. Warren De La Salle
2. Birmingham Brother Rice
3. Orchard Lake St. Mary's
Last year: 8-3 overall, 3-2, third in Central Division, lost in D2 district finals.
Why they'll make some noise: Senior running back Dominique White (5-8, 180) returns as a starter with another year of experience under his belt. Senior OG/DE Matt Sargent (6-3, 230) is sure to lead a solid staff of experienced defenders. OLSM returns four senior starting defensive players including DT Carl Goeckel (6-1, 235), DE Jason Semmes (6-3, 215) and LB Don Coleman (6-0, 195).
Why they won't: The Eaglets need to break in a new quarterback. Their punting also needs some work.
The skinny:
OLSM has five returning starters on the offensive end, including White and junior WR Tayler Peruski (5-11, 180). Expect them to carry the load, especially in the earlier part of the season. The Eaglets will surely be eager to put last season's district finals loss behind them.
