West Branch in 2009

Coach: Bob Altenhof

The Warriors will build their team around senior QB Mike Smith (1,800 yards, 17 TDs in 2008) and a deep and experienced group of linemen. Seniors Seth Guy, Jon Wilson, Zach Lenigar, Brad Ferguson and Nathan Gambone will provide the strength up front on both sides of the ball, while senior Mark Smith (500 yards in 2008) returns at running back. The early part of the schedule isn't too difficult, which should give some of the younger players a chance to develop before the rugged Northeastern Buckeye Conference schedule begins.
