Johnstown-Monroe (7-3)

* Players to Watch – RB Ross Franklin (n/a, sr.), QB Matt Smith (n/a, sr.), OL Brandon Hollis (n/a, sr.), LB Steven Smith (n/a, sr.), DL Nick SanFillipo (n/a, sr.), DE Joey Dismuke (n/a, sr.), FB Adam Carter (n/a, jr.), LB Corbin Grassman (n/a, jr.), DB/RB Nick Sadinsky (n/a, jr.), DB/WR Tyler Thompson (n/a, jr.), OL/DL Tim Sayer (n/a, jr.)

* Outlook – The Johnnies could deliver a memorable season. Head coach Mike Carter enters his 10th season at the school with a 63-27 record and just six wins shy of becoming the program’s career wins leader. Johnstown also looks poised to compete for a playoff berth and Mid-Buckeye Conference title. Franklin returns after running for 2,183 yards and 22 TDs last year. Matt Smith is a veteran who ran for 526 yards and accounted for nine TDs. Carter scored seven TDs. Hollis and Sawyer are three-year starters and anchor both lines. Defensively, the Johnnies are stacked. Steven Smith (109 tackles), SanFillipo (50 tackles, seven sacks), Dismuke (71 tackles, 12 sacks), Grassman (99 tackles), Sadinsky (81 tackles, three INTs) and Thompson (four INTs) are seasoned. Tough non-league games against Granville, Heath and Hebron Lakewood await in Weeks 1-3, respectively.

Tough non-league at Hebron Lakewood? I don't think that will be so tough for the Johnnies...

^Depends if Lakewood stops the run. Stop the run, and Jtown is done (that's a real saying in the MBC

Updated their estimated heights and weights

[57chevy]

Johnstown has done really well in their two passing scrimmages vs. Westerville North and Fairbanks. Their next passing scrimmage is tonight vs. Newark Catholic

[gamauter]

How did that go?

[57chevy]

From what I heard Jtown look very good, but score I'm not sure of

[57chevy]

Johnstown out to a 2-0 start for the first time in a while! Go Johnnies!

How well did that work out this year?

[57chevy]

I hope they keep in going in the playoffs! One of the top rushing teams in the state! Can't wait for Jtown to play some better competition! Go Johnnies!
