2010 Charger Football Season Preview: After a taste of big-time success in 2009, determined chargers back for more in 2010 They say it’s harder to stay at the top than it is to get to the top. That is a problem the players and coaches with the Hillsdale College football program are looking forward to tackling. After seven straight losing seasons from 2000-06, the Chargers have been the GLIAC’s second-best team since 2007, going 25-10 over the past three seasons. The high point of that three-year run came in 2009, when the team went 10-3 and qualified for the NCAA Division II playoffs for the first time in school history. The challenge for head coach Keith Otterbein and the players now, is to maintain its spot as a top contender for the GLIAC championship in 2010. “Last year was what we’ve been working for, as a coaching staff and players,” Otterbein said. “But since we assembled for spring practice, our focus has been totally on the 2010 season and doing what it takes to improve on what we accomplished last year.” More than half of 2009’s starters return on both sides of the ball in 2010, led by third-year starting quarterback Troy Weatherhead. A smart and accurate passer, Weatherhead set several single-game and single-season records in 2009, including passing yards, completions and attempts. He is the most experienced starting quarterback in the GLIAC entering 2010, and has grown into a true leader of the program. “Troy has done a great job at learning what it takes to lead a football team, both on and off the field,” Otterbein said. “His knowledge of the offense has gotten better every year, and he has become a leader off the field, as shown by his teammates voting him captain.” Senior offensive lineman Phil Doerfler and junior defensive back Nick Hixson join Weatherhead as the team’s three captains for the 2010 season. Doerfler is a focused, hard-nosed lineman who is a true “leader by example.” Three-year starting running back Vinnie Panizzi graduated, but returning is sophomore Joe Glendening, who should step into the starting role in 2010. Glendening is part of a group of skill-position players on offense that, coupled with Weatherhead’s experience and savvy, give Hillsdale an enviable offense this season. Starting wide receivers Andre Holmes and Mike Blanchard return for their senior seasons, and give the Chargers a contrast in styles, making them tough to defend. Holmes is tall, speedy, and led the GLIAC in receiving yards last year. Blanchard, also a kick returner for the team, makes the tough catches in traffic and gives the team a much different look from his side of the field. Doerfler leads a veteran offensive line, which also returns starters Patrick Harbour, D.J. Loy and Reid Meador. Defensively, Hixson leads a secondary that enters the season as an area of strength for the team. Veteran Cody Henderson and sophomore Nick Galvan return to join Hixson in the defensive backfield. Galvan is a fast, ballhawking safety who became a starter as a true freshman last year. Henderson was also a starter as a true freshman in 2007, but is coming off an injury-plagued 2009 Quarterback Troy Weatherhead (16) returns for his third season as the starter in 2010. campaign. Expect to see some new faces in starting roles on the defense, like redshirtfreshman Eric Burke, who enters fall practice as a starter at linebacker. Senior Kyle Carson, a special teams standout throughout his career, becomes a starter at linebacker this season, joining veteran Nate English at that position. Two former linebackers make the move to the defensive line, juniors David Bakker and Ridge Riebold, to help replenish the position most depleted by graduation last year. Bakker was one of the defense’s most improved players in 2009, and has the size, speed and skill set, to contribute immediately at his new position. There are some big shoes to fill on special teams for the Chargers. All-GLIAC kicker Mark Petro and All-GLIAC punter Eric Schweller each graduated. Junior Andrew Wilburn has gotten spot duty at punter in his first two seasons, but will take over as the full-time starter this year. True freshman Matt Eltringham will battle it out with returning veterans Colin McGreevy and Steve Grant for placekicking duties. “There’s a perception that we lost a ton of players, because of how talented some of those players were,” Otterbein said. “But the group of guys we have this year, have learned what it takes to win, and have played together for years. I am confident that this is a team that can match up with any opponent in our conference.” 23
