CHERRY TWP Brookville has no problem looking at recent history when it comes to playing Moniteau.

Looking at playoff history can be a bit painful, however.

The second-seeded Raiders (8-2) face the third-seeded Warriors (5-5) in a District 9 Class AA football playoff game at 7 p.m. Saturday at Clarion University.

Brookville defeated Moniteau 19-14 in Week 3 of the regular season, which snapped a five-game losing streak to the Warriors, including playoff losses of 55-7 in 2008 and 35-25 in 2005.

“Our seniors were sophomores in that 2008 season,” Brookville coach Chris Dworek said. “They remember that game. ... It wasn't very much fun for us.”

This will be the sixth meeting between the teams since 2007.

“Our teams know each other like Karns City and us know each other,” Moniteau coach Jeff Campbell said. “That's what happens when you come from the same league. We have seven game tapes on them and I'm sure they have seven on us.”

Moniteau's defense has six different starters since that Week 3 meeting. Some of the key additions include tackle Tyler Fleeger, end Adam Porter, and cornerbacks Dustin Geagan and Morgan Lukavich.

Fleeger and Lukavich joined the team during the impromptu tryout session Campbell and his staff held midway through the season.

“We've made other adjustments, too, like sliding Zach Sloan from inside linebacker to outside linebacker and moving Kyle (Armagost) back to safety,” Campbell said.

“When Kyle played linebacker against Brookville, they just ran away from him.”

Armagost leads the Warriors with 70 solo and 104 total tackles. Jordan Smith has 70 solo stops and 94 total tackles. Sloan has 62 tackles.

Dworek recognizes that Moniteau's defense will be different. He's also not worried about it.

“We have no control over that,” he said. “We have to concentrate on what we do well offensively.”

The Raiders can do plenty. Quarterback Steve Kennedy has thrown for 906 yards and six touchdowns, and rushed for 687 yards and 10 TDs. Ryan Kerr has 1,243 yards and 13 TDs rushing.

Wide receiver Jared Heschke, at 6-foot-4, has 30 catches for 524 yards and five TDs.

“This is the ninth straight year we've had a Heschke brother on our team,” Dworek said. “Jared's a senior, so this will be the last year.

“He's made more than 400 tackles in four years with us. He holds Brookville career records in catches, yards and touchdowns,” he added. “We're trying to get his parents to go out and adopt somebody.”

The Raiders' defensive front four ties up blockers so Heschke and other linebackers can make tackles.

“That's clearly their scheme and they do it very well,” Campbell said. “That's a stubborn defense to try to gain yardage on.”

Armagost has 1,243 yards passing and 1,124 yards rushing for Moniteau. He's accounted for 24 touchdowns.

Geagan has rushed for 638 yards and seven TDs, Ethan Pry has 23 catches for 561 yards and four TDs, and Sloan 22 catches for 204 yards and three TDs.

“Their offense begins with Armagost he's a special athlete but it certainly doesn't end with him,” Dworek said. “Geagan is a nice tailback and they can use their power running game if they want to.

“Pry is a good receiver and he's not alone in that package. This will be a challenge for us.”
