Storylines for Fall

Football - Is the team for real?
After a 10-0 regular season in 2008, the football team made a quick exit from the playoffs, losing to Wise 6-14 in their first playoff game under Coach Tom Green. I think Coach Green will propel the team further this season; he has a year of PG County ball under his belt. One concern is the loss of a strong senior class.

Girls' Soccer - Will this be the year?
For the past few years the girls team has been upset very late in the season. Two trips to the state semis and a loss last year in the regional final can't cut it anymore. This team has proved they can play with the best, but now they need to show up when it really matters.

Boys' Soccer - They're confident, but are they better?
They had an enh season in 2008, going 8-4 in the regular season and 1-1 in the playoffs, losing a hard fought game to eventual state champ Bowie. The team is hyped for this season to start, and we'll see what the team is made of once they get underway. Leadership is strong, as Chris Bonnell is captain. Adam Quigley just might have a breakout year. He has played for great club teams throughout the off-season and won a gold medal at the Maccabi Games.

New ERHS Logo

The big story this week is the announcement of the new, universal ERHS logo. If you remember during the latter part of the year when Mitch Kempisty was elected president of SGA he put out a contest for the design of the logo.

Alternate Jerseys?

Players on the team are debating whether it is possible to get alternate jerseys this season. Inside sources tell me that most players are agreeing on a black alternate. The girls team has black uniforms for regular wear so I would assume that the boys' uniforms would be similar.

Digital Sports

Digital Sports will once again be the official website for ERHS sports. Here's the link to go straight to the soccer page. The site looks better this year. Not as many annoying ads.
