Who is Suburban?

There are a couple of new/old teams on the Columbia football schedule -- York Suburban and Daniel Boone.
Suburban was on the Tide’s schedule in the late 1990’s and earlier this decade and always had trouble competing against the Tide in the season opener. Boone was also on the schedule for the Tide during that time as well and never beat Columbia.
But that was then and this is now, as they say.
Friday, the Trojans return to the Tide’s schedule for the first time in more than six seasons, when they visit the Crimson Tide Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
Like the Crimson Tide, the Trojans, who were 4-6 a year ago, come into the game with an 0-1 record. They lost their season opener to Dallastown, 41-27.
Coach Bill Kerr’s team returns eight starters on offense and nine on defense.
Players to watch for the Trojans on Friday night are:
The team’s top two rushers from a year ago, who played as sophomores, Cody Waltimyer (643 yards) and Nathaniel Cross (310 yards). Waltimyer rushed for 116 yards against the Wildcats.
Another player to watch is the team’s leading receiver from a year ago, Cole Wagner, who caught 30 passes in 2007.
Up front, the Trojans are led by Ben Woody, Chris Smith and Ryan Bulgarelli.
Friday night against Dallastown, the Trojans fell behind 21-0 in the first half and trailed 27-6 at the break.
Suburban rushed for 209 yards on 39 carries, but only passed eight times for just 86 yards.
Defensively, the Trojans gave up 245 yards on the ground and another 115 yards through the air.
Suburban plays in Division II of the York-Adams County League.
