4:30 P.M. — Digital Sports Football Preview (Marshall)

DigitalSports continues their 30-team Northern Region preview. Next up is George C. Marshall, who made the playoffs last year.

The bad news? Mighty Doug Howell is gone. As is virtually the whole team for fifth-year head coach JT Biddison. Only five starters remain, and both lines are going to have to be patch-worked together

The good news? Six-foot-4 Harold Sweet, the starting quarterback from the last three season, returns. And judging from the playoff game against Mount Vernon last season, he's a player. If he had 20 more pounds on his frame, the recruiters would be a-calling. They also get a new turf field.

Telling quote, "We have a lot of new guys at key positions, there's no denying that." More like you have almost an entirely new football team.

4 P.M. — Digital Sports Football Preview (Fairfax)

DigitalSports is previewing every 30 teams in the Northern Region. That includes Concorde District punching bag Fairfax.

The bad news? Fairfax is in the Concorde, with Centreville, Oakton, Chantilly, Robinson and Westfield, the defending state champs. Ouch. So much that Fairfax is 0-18 tries since joining in 2005.

The good news? The Rebels bring back their quarterback, running back and entire offensive line and their coach, Chris Haddock. That's about it.

Telling quote? "We've won four game in the last four years. So if we could win five games this season, that would be a tremendous boost for our program." Hell coach, if you just win one in the Concorde, it would be a tremendous boost.
