Columbiana (Div. VI)

Columbiana (Div. VI)

Head Coach: Bob Spaite, 18th year (93-45 in 13 years at Columbiana, 108-87-4 overall)

Coaching Staff: Larry Baughman, Stefan Giannone, Mike Betura, Tom Randolf, Kris Reash, Dan Houck

Outlook: Although the Clippers return quarterback Ryan Williams, graduation took its toll, with skill players Joe Winters, Tony Giannone and Cory Guy moving on and taking linemen Chris McIntyre, Chris Dozier and J.D. Beck with them. Columbiana has just three starters back on each side of the ball, but there are some promising players ready to step in. If the younger players can grow up quickly — and if the Clippers can survive their brutal schedule — Columbiana could make some noise in the league and contend for a playoff berth.
