Take your pick: the offensive side or the defensive side.
Either way, Avon Lake probably has you beat.
The Shoremen have a load of experience -- and talent -- on the offensive line. Whether it’s junior Christian Pace, Central Michigan-bound Adam Schneid or Joe Coyne, Avon Lake has the bulls up front as usual. What’s scary is they have coach Dave Dlugosz smiling more than usual.
Perhaps it’s because he’s a former linemen?
Perhaps it’s what he takes pride in as a coach?
Maybe they’re just that good this year, even for his standards. If that’s the case, that’s pretty scary.
Now, on the defensive line, Zach Murray and Sean McCann return. Both were All-Journal performers last season, and Joe Gaydosh is no slouch, either. After talking with Gaydosh at Saturday’s scrimmage against Midview, I got the feel he’s a product of the Avon Lake program.
Many of the things he said has been said before by seniors who waited their turn to shine.
Now, Gaydosh has his turn.
That should present a whole line of problems for the rest of the Southwestern Conference.
