SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 2017 · 5 Skill players to lead Spartans wonback-to-backWCCA7-on-7 Tournament titles, the most recent coming afterawin over fellow conference opponent Norwin in the finals. Friday’s Week Zero opener against Greensburg Salem is no passing scrimmage. “The seven-on-sevens are a necessary evil. I’m not a big fan,” Bowen said. “What happens is the offense gets into the habit of always going for the big play.” While throwing home run balls downfield is nice — and Hempfield has the potential to do so — the running game can’t disappear. “We’ll playtoour strengths,” Bowen said. “We knowwe can throw, but you always want to be able to run the football.” Hempfield has to replace 1,400-yard back Jordan Kempka. Another pass-catching threat is Isaiah DiAndreth. But he also could see time at running back, and Bowen said seniorAustin Gockle also could get carries out of the backfield. Defensively, senior Brock Barnhart and Brose will be key run-stopping linebackers, while senior Derrick McFadden, Isaiah DiAndreth andseniorConnorWalters will help hold down the secondary. Bowen thinks Norwin is the team to beat in the Southeastern. “They’re loaded with skill players,” he said. “Norwin has what it takes towin theconference.” Hempfield finished a win away fromtying for the conference title last season. It has not won or shared a conference since 1966. Bill Beckner Jr. is a Tribune-Review staff writer. Reachhim at bbeckner@tribweb.comor via Twitter@BillBeckner.
