Malone returns strong leaders

MALONE — The Malone football team won the Section VII/X Class A title last year while finishing with a winning record for the first time since 2005.

The Huskies lost some key players, like starting quarterback Jake Gravel, but have strong leadership from captains Jordan Cosgrove, Brian Doe and Sam Moore.

"This team is playing hard together — real good intensity," coach Greg Marshall said.

Cosgrove will take the reigns at starting quarterback, with sophomore Mitchell Gallagher looking to see time at quarterback, tight end and defense.

In limited action last season, Cosgrove completed 11-of-22 for two touchdowns and four interceptions.

The Huskies will have an experienced backfield with returnees Brian Doe, Taylor Hilyard, and Jason Stepnoski. Doe was second on the team in rushing with 427, while Hilyard recorded 193 and Stepnoski 100. Doe and Hilyard each scored four touchdowns on the ground.

Hilyard also led the team in receiving yards with 197.

Sam Moore, Andrew Poupore and Brandon LaVoie return to a line that averages 250-260-pounds each.

"We have a very good group of kids back from last year — very hard working, team oriented," assistant coach Cory West said. "I'm looking forward to working with these kids.

"This group has had a great preseason."
