Reinhart Previews the 2011 Season

Jeff Reinhart's Lancaster-Lebanon League News covers all things sports, not just football. However, with kickoff just 10 days away the main focus is on the young men on the gridiron. Reinhart's primer has predictions for players of the year, teams of interest & a full preseason All-Star squad. Naturally Wilson makes an appearance or two but they don't dominate the field as one may expect. Perhaps this year will be where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts? Regardless of individual honors - which go only to Rodney Gillin (as a RB & DB) - the Bulldogs are Reinhart's "Team to Beat" in Section 1.
TEAM TO BEATWilson. If this sounds like a broken record, well, it is. The Bulldogs have won 23 Section 1 games in a row and 19 Section 1 championships overall, including the last four in a row. Here’s one of my favorite L-L League football stats: In Section 1 games, Wilson coach Doug Dahms is 33-2. The Bulldogs’ last section loss: At Manheim Township. In 2007. In a driving rainstorm. Tradition never rests.
Tradition never rests.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
