SHS Defense the
Real McCoy
Springbrook linebacker Stephan
McCoy compares building a high school football team to the popular video
game, Madden 2003. "It's kind of like playing Madden and having a
franchise," said McCoy. "You have to start out low and build it up." .
. . With two wins in the last two years, Springbrook took care of the low.
But now, after the Blue Devils' 15-0 shutout of Blair, it's clear they're
taking care of the high as well. Springbrook is 3-1, 2-1 in the Montgomery
4A East and thinking big. Journal
Blue Devils Resurgent
Springbrook football is
enjoying a renaissance. The Blue Devils' resurgence is largely thanks
to the blossoming of senior running back Marlon Curtis. "Marlon Curtis
is one of the best backs in the county, and Springbrook looks like one
of the teams to beat this year" Richard Montgomery coach Mike Bonavia said.
"They have the whole package with speed and size, and they're playing really
well together." Gazette |

Devils Beat Kennedy
27- 6, Clinch Playoffs
Nov. 1 - Springbrook clinched
a trip to the playoffs by defeating Kennedy 27 - 6. The offense was
led by Marlon Curtis with two touchdowns rushing; touchdown receptions
by Jamyle Michael and Siafa Lavala from quarterback Harold Brantley; and
a second quarter, 43-yard fake punt run by Justin Brooks. Defensively,
Louis Woodland and Mike Spiegleberg turned in tremendous efforts; Will
Cotton, Ali Ghanim, and Woodland each had an interception.

Oct.
24 - Carl Genephat's second fourth quarter interception, returned for a
touchdown, sealed the victory. Offensively, running backs Marlon
Curtis, two touchdowns, Justin Brooks, one touchdown, and quarterback Harold
Brantley paced the Devils. Defensively, linebackers Stefan McCoy,
Mike Spiegleberg, and Brian Carter, defensive end Louis Woodland, and defensive
back Siafa Lavala turned in super efforts by causing a season high 4 interceptions
and 4 fumbles. Gazette
Springbrook's
Killer B's
Oct.
17 - Senior tailback Marlon Curtis has been the engine that has powered
the Springbrook High football team this fall. On Friday, coach Norman Edwards
lifted the motor out of his vehicle for repairs and dropped in a twin-valve
replacement, sophomore quarterback Harold Brantley and junior tailback
Justin Brooks, who kept Springbrook rolling on its successful course in
a 35-0 non-league win over host Wootton. Gazette

Oct.
17 - Springbrook junior Justin Brooks got his first start at tailback last
Friday during the Blue Devils' 35-0 victory over Wootton. The 5-foot-10
junior rushed for for 134 yards and three touchdowns. Coach Norman
Edwards said Marlon Curtis should be back in the lineup when SHS
faces neighborhood rival Paint Branch on Friday, but he expects Brooks
to play a prominent role.
Blue Devils Guilty
of Hit and Run
Oct.
11 - While Churchill dropped to 2-4 and lost virtually all hope of a 4A
West Region playoff berth, Springbrook improved to 5-1 (4-1 in Montgomery
County 4A East Division play) with its fourth straight victory and remained
in a close battle with Damascus (5-1, 3-0) for the division title. Gazette
Springbrook Grinds
Out Win
Oct.
11 - Springbrook coach Norman Edwards said he didn't feel fortunate after
the Blue Devils' 7-0 home victory against Churchill on Saturday. He easily
could have. . . . On a day when star running back Marlon Curtis rushed
for only 41 yards on 23 carries and Churchill started four drives in Springbrook
territory, the Blue Devils were saved by a stout defense, an out-of-synch
Churchill offense and yes, a bit of good fortune. Journal
Rockets Fall to
Devils in OT
Oct.
3 - As a reward for its exhilarating 13-10 overtime victory at Richard
Montgomery High Saturday, the Springbrook football team received a tongue-lashing.
