PrepNation 101 Preseason FB Countdown: No. 97 Dorman

97. Dorman (Roebuck, S.C.)
Last season’s record: 10-3, lost in Class 4A/I quarterfinals
Coach: Dave Gutshall
Key players: DB Taylor Sowell (5-10, 190, Sr.), OT Brandon Thomas (6-4, 275, Sr.), WR/DB Walt Canty (6-1, 195, Sr.), QB Johnny Foster (5-11, 170, Jr.), WR Charon Peake (6-3, 170, So.)
Biggest strength: Skill positions
Question mark: Defensive front seven
Outlook: Eleven underclassmen started or played major roles for the Cavaliers, which is reason for a lot of optimism in ’08. North Carolina verbal Sowell and Canty form the core of a top-flight defensive secondary. Foster, in his second year as starting QB, will look often to fellow underclassmen Peake. Thomas, a Clemson commitment, is the cornerstone of Dorman’s offensive line.
Toughest games: Aug. 29 at Gaffney, Sept. 12 vs. Greenwood, Oct. 24 vs. Byrnes

DORMAN HAS THE FIRST CHANCE TO GIVE GAFFNEY A LOSS IN THE INDIANS NEW STADIUM. BYRNES WILL BE MORE THAN HANDFUL FOR DORMAN. THE PRE-SEASON #1 REBELS OF DUNCAN HAS A TOUGH SCHEDULE BUT THEIR BEST TEAM EVER TO PLAY IT. LET'S PUT ON THE PADS AND GET STARTED!

Don't be so quick to give byrnes the top spot. Lets see if they can get past pahokee. Because i think pahokee will win that game easy going against what people think. Byrnes struggled with a sorry fla team last year, what makes you think they can beat one of florida best, and not an overrated florida club. I.E Glades Central

Ha Ha. Thats funny. To bad Galdes was playing way better then they were at the start of the season. Galdes vs. Bynres later in the season would have been a Raider Win easily. Playing much better later in the season they still loast to two florida teams, so that win was not much. And this year pahokee will beat you. You guys can not play with the florida boys as you almost lost to a bad florida team last year.

After this year you should play lakeland, being that they will again shoe you how it is to play with the big boys. Lakeland could be a pre-season #1-2 next year.

Your going to need more then a missed PAT that was given to you by the refs to beat pahokee. Lets hope both teams come to play.

I thought this was about the CAVS, Byrnes is good but this is a CAV honor to be in the top 100

Dorman should be improved this year behind a Soph lefty QB who is a threat to run and throw. They should beat Gaffney in week 1 and lose only once in the regular season--to Byrnes.

Dorman gave the Rebels all they wanted in both meetings last year, and had Byrnes beat in the playoffs until Marcus Lattimore ran for a touchdown on 4 & 14 early in the 4th quarter.

Get Real!!!!! dorman beat Gaffney in the NEW "Reservation"!!! They (Dorman) will be 0-1 and then Gaffney (again not ranked) beats the brakes off everyone including Byrnes. Not ranked. oh well. This is how I see it - There will be a new set of 'ghosts' we will start by burying Dorman, then Greenville, give Byrnes their 1st (L). Bust Spartanburg above the neck and shoulders. Run right through Nations Ford (who?) and end the season perfect with Clover. All will be buried at the NEEWWW Reservation!!!!!!!! made love and good luck on all your teams IndianJoe

And Dorman proceeded to beat Gaffney in the new "Reservation" with a defensive shutout, winning 6-0 in OT.
