McShane at the top the depth chart at QB

Could the McShane era help Freeport return to the playoffs in 2009?

According to the J-S' Jeremy Anders, Freeport football coach Terry Werntz said that Brandon McShane is currently on top the depth chart at the quarterback position.

Anders said that Werntz hasn't quite made the decision for McShane to be the starter, but it's quite possible that he very well could be.

McShane, a standout on the Freeport boys track team, is quite the speedster. How the Pretzels potentially use his speed on the field will be one of the more intriguing storylines this season with a team centered around the spread offense with new personnel running it.

I, personally, haven't seen McShane's arm but he is fleet of foot and could give NIC-10 defensive coordinators a headache.

Nothing is set in stone. McShane has yet to throw a football in a game on the varsity level and there's still enough o-line issues and other personnel changes this year to wonder just how well the Pretzels will be in 2009.

But you've got to wonder just what to expect, should McShane earn the No. 1 QB position.
