Oak Hills High School: August 2011 Archives

Year three is when many new schools start to be innudated with veteran leaders. That's not the case at Oak Hills, which is suffering a pretty severe senior shortage after making the playoffs in its first two seasons of play.

"We knew this was coming," Oak Hills coach Robert Kistner said. "A lot of the sophomores from a couple of years ago stayed at their school rather than coming over to play for us because they felt they could get on the field quicker. So we knew that this year was going to be shorthanded as far as seniors go. But we really like the seniors we have."

Leading the way for Oak Hills' senior class is running back Marshaun Coprich and cornerback/wide receiver Garrett Reece-Scott. Coprich (5-5, 180) led the Bulldogs in rushing last year, running for 1,150 yards and nine touchdowns, while Reece-Scott (5-9, 170) was a lockdown corner for Oak Hills along with being the team's leading receiver.

The Bulldogs will need junior quarterback David Richardson (6-2, 220) to take a bit of the heat off Coprich and an offensive line that has three new, underclassmen starters. Richardson threw for 835 yards and eight touchdowns last year, five to Reece-Scott.
