Outlook: The title chase in this revamped section will be wide open. Westinghouse and Crane (13 starters back) are the only holdovers from last year and may have an edge on Clemente, Kelvyn Park, Prosser and Wells, teams from the weaker North-Central section.
1995 state qualifiers: Marshall (first round).
Quotable: Westinghouse coach Fred McGlothlin: “It’s going to be hard to figure out this section. We used to battle Marshall and Collins. Now it’s going to be different.”
Players to watch: Chris Collins (TB/WR, 5-10, 175), Montrell Moore (FB/LB, 5-9, 180), Tywin Lett (OT/NG, 6-5, 300), Raymond Johnson (WR, 5-9, 165), Crane; Deshaun Wright (FB/LB, 5-9, 190), Brian Harris (WR, 5-9, 165), Ladon Young (OT/DT, 5-10, 310), Westinghouse; Eric Sauber (C/LB, 6-1, 215), Amario Hill (OG/DT, 6-3, 270), Mark Claiborne (OT/LB, 5-11, 225), Prosser; Antoine Massey (TB/LB, 6-2, 205), Nelson Ramos (FB/DT, 5-11, 240), Isander Rosa (TE/DE, 5-11, 205), Wells.
Key games: Westinghouse vs. Crane at Hanson, Sept. 26; Westinghouse vs. Clemente at Winnemac, Oct. 3; Westinghouse vs. Prosser at Hanson, Oct. 12.
Predicted ’96 finish: Crane, Westinghouse, Clemente, Wells, Prosser, Kelvyn Park.
