Newsday came out with its high school football preview this morning and they ranked the Bears #14 in Division IV, mostly based on last season’s 0-8 record. However, for anyone that has seen the boys practice and scrimmage this year, they know that they have the potential to blow Newsday’s expectations out of the water. Here are the complete Division IV rankings:

1.	Amityville
2.	John Glenn
3.	Babylon
4.	Mt Sinai
5.	Bayport-Blue Point
6.	Greenport/Southold
7.	Port Jefferson
8.	Hampton Bays
9.	Center Moriches
10.	Shoreham-Wading River
11.	Southampton
12.	Mercy
13.	Wyandanch
14.	Stony Brook

Our key players are listed as:

Donnie Liotine	Junior	RB/DB
Jerome Washington	Senior	TE/DE
Marco Masakayan	Junior	QB/CB
Jake Harrington	Junior	OL/DL

Team speed and added maturity are strengths for the Bears, who struggled last season as a young team.
