[B]“We’re in zero coverage about 70 percent of the time because of them. To put those guys in those [one-on-one] situations [without safety help], [defensive coordinator Daryl Porter] and I have a lot of confidence in them that they can hold up[/B]. So far, so good.” McFadden is a Rivals five-star recruit in the Class of 2015 with offers from several major colleges. [B]Dowels leads the state with eight interceptions[/B] and is committed to play at Northern Illinois next season. “It does get boring after a while when you face teams that run the ball that much, but you can’t fall asleep,” said McFadden, who has yet to make an interception this season because teams rarely throw his way. “We’ve played against teams before that don’t throw the ball a lot. But there’s always that one or two they throw and we have to make a play when it comes.” [B]Heritage coach Mike Rumph[/B] joked this week that “if we have bad corners here at Heritage, there is a problem.” [B]The coaching staff includes three former NFL defensive backs (Rumph, Surtain and Porter).[/B] Read more here: [url]http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/12/13/3815417/american-heritage-needs-its-best.html#storylink=cpy[/url] [/QUOTE]
