Will this Be Fort Cherry's Year

 

Last season for the FC Rangers has to be described as a disappointing year. It ended in an heartbreaking 24-16 loss to Bishop Canevin in the first round of the WPIAL Playoffs in front of their home crowd. They finished the season 5-5

Looking forward to the 2011 season, the Rangers should have a chip on their shoulder. And if they don't expect more of the same in McDonald. I for one thinks this team has underachieved the past 2 seasons. 

While they do lose their shifty RB in Gary Keifer but I expect 6'1 230 Corey Garry(SR) to take over the RB duties as Fort Cherry returns to their Power Run game roots. He gets to run behind a line that is led by (SR) Greg Kumer and vocal leader Ben Bowmen. 

The passing game-led by the athletic Tanner Garry- should be very good this season. On the outside Garry will be looking for (SR)Ryan  Babirad 6'2 175  and (JR)Tyreke Brown 6'1 170.

The offense in general will be tough to stop with its balance of power and finesse on the outside. This team should put up points in bunches. 

On defense the Rangers are led its strength up with middle with MLB Corey Garry, with help by S Tanner Garry and DT Ben Bowmen leading the way. This defense is going to be strong and physical and loves to run to the ball.

If there is an under the radar team out there, its the Fort Cherry Rangers. They're strong, physical and can sometimes be flashy on offense. I think this team is under rated and I expect them to make a legit run for the Blackhills Championship and a long run in the WPIAL playoffs. Its never too early for those in McDonald to jump on the bandwagon. There is plenty of room and Ranger fans will have a lot of fun this upcoming 2011 season.
