Pass, pass and pass some more

Dinwiddie FB Practice, 8/28/07

DINWIDDIE – One of the most powerful and unique offenses in the Central Region is really not located in the Central Region.

Dinwiddie is out there, and so will their scores be this season.

All of coach Billy Mills‘ main offensive options are back.

Quarterback and baseball star Adam Morgan returns for his junior year after being one of the top passers in yardage in the area.

His weapons are plentiful.

Dequan Coles and Jerrell White are extremely athletic receivers with wonderful hands.

Morgan, Coles and White were honorable mention All-Metro picks in 2006, a 3-7 year for the Generals.

If you watch Dinwiddie football, you’ll see a bunch of this this season.

Dinwiddie actually has four talented receivers that should see plenty of balls.

Sam Haskins is a taller option at around 6-3, and Quintaze Jackson is also talented.

The receivers sort of favor the dominant band of Henrico’s state finalist in 1999.

Not saying Dinwiddie will get that far, but the Generals are a definite Division 5 playoff contender, especially if the defense can yield a little less than the 33 points it gave up last season.

That task is in the hands of senior linebacker Andrew Wagy, among others.

The linebacking core, and the defense overall, drew the ire of the coaching staff in Tuesday’s practice.

It has to improve for Dinwiddie to be as explosive in the win-loss column as it should be.

Adam Morgan will fire at defenses every Friday night.

If the Generals make some tackles, look out.

2006 record: 3-4 Central District, 3-7

Key game: Clover Hill. With a win over the Cavaliers, Dinwiddie has a chance to start the season 3-0 with two Division 3 foes right after. Piling up wins early is the way to solidify a Division 5 spot.

The way Dinwiddie can throw the ball, it may seem like Morgan is hurling two pigskins at once with athletes like Sam Haskins (left) and Dequan Coles on the loose.
