Johnstone Excited at the Return of Gunningham
Earlier today, it was announced that Liam Johnstone will be returning to the coaching spotlight of the Navy Midshipmen. Given the coach's checkered past with the team, it's unclear why Johnstone was offered a second chance, though it's suspected that respected players Peter Gunningham and F. G. DeSoto had more than a little to do with it."What can I say? They've got a short memory card," Johnstone quipped at the press conference where his starters were named.
Peter Gunningham, unsurprisingly, will lead the charge at quarterback. Hec Gervais, always a Navy staple at fullback, will plough the way for wingbacks Monty Pegram and Pete Donnelly. Receivers Norris and Potter will start, with T. J. Moon in the slot.
On defense, Philpot is sitting on the bench for now, with F. G. DeSoto, Walker Dean and Sam Wynn starting. At linebacker, Lamar Brown is back for another round, as well as Chris Cooper and Hamilton Jeffries. In the backfield, Doug Pratt was barely beaten out by Ray Smith for the #2 cornerback spot behind Darnel Spooner. Larry Wood and Marco Gash round out a secondary that hopes to shut down opposing offenses with more success than their predecessors.
Good luck to the Navy Midshipmen as they set sail for another season of excellence!
