Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

[Raider 68]

just read the press release announcing the Tom Smith, the D coord at Wesley has left the program to persue other opportunities.  From what I know he was a pretty important part of the coaching staff and I believe made the d calls during the game.  It will be interesting to see how his leaving changes the defense.

Not a good sign 6 weeks from summer camp!

After checking with Jason, he told me that Coach Drass makes all the d calls during the game and the Coach Smith was the d-line coach.  he was replaced by someone with nfl, canadian, and arena football playing experience.  he also coached at a d2 school last year.  You would figure that since he played d-line he should be able to bring some tricks to the table.

That is good news then for the Wesley defense!

Sad to see him go.   Regardless, I think Wesley will still be quite potent this year.  There are some really good players coming back to play as well as some awesome prospects.  It is great to see West make first team offense, McAndrew make second team offense, Benson and Mayes make second team defense this time around.   Time will tell, but after talking with some of the players, the Mount Union game pumped them up for this year, so watch out!

A key game for Wesley will be Capital away on 9/25. This will tell where the team is at that point. Wesley IMHO will have a another good year, and maybe they will meet Mount again this fall!

I completely agree.  I sure do hope we meet again.......

Who in the conference will challenge Wesley, or not?

Probably nobody.  Salisbury will be the usual toughest test for the last time (I believe) in the ACFC.  Essentially, Wesley is an independent once again.

The coach hired by Coach Drass is Coach Leroy Thompson who coached the D-line last season at Lincoln (PA).  Coach Thompson played his college ball at Del State.

Ahh, good!  It won't be long until he is fitfully employed with summer practice just around the corner.  Thanks for the intel!

What does Wesley think of coming to Ohio and playing Capital?

What does Wesley think of coming to Ohio and playing Capital?

  I am sure Coach Drass welcomes the challenge and appreciates Capital scheduling the game. It's an out of region game but it is  a DIII game.
It will give us an idea of how Wesley will fair this season.

Weskey brings alot of talent back from '09. It will be a very good game in Columbus, but Wesley may have an edge at this point. It could be a 24-21 type game, we'll see!
