He also got to see this season's version of The Best Player in the Ches-Mont-Red Raiders defensive end Derrick Morgan.

"He's a man," said Carroll. "he's the best defensive football player I've ever seen, and I've been doing this 35 years."

Against the Patriots, though, Morgan made his mark at fullback, rushing for 122 yards on 22 carries.

KEY MATCHUP: Coatesville?s defense, led by dominating end .000Derrick Morgan, against McCaskey?s multi-purpose offense, which is averaging 363 yards per game.

Morgan, a 6-4, 260-pound senior, is the 90th-ranked blue-chipper in the nation by Rivals.com, which also ranks him No. 1 in the state, just ahead of Manheim Township QB Pat Bostick.

Morgan, who also plays running back, is considering Penn State, Ohio State, North Carolina State, Miami (Fla.), Georgia Tech and Boston College.

NOTABLE: Coatesville edged McCaskey 34-29 last year in Lancaster.

QUOTABLE: McCaskey coach Scott Feldman ? ?Derrick Morgan is a monster. If he pins his ears back and keeps coming, it?s going to be a long, long night. So we must protect (QB) Jared Johns.?
