Newport is a great darkhorse pick, I don't know the inner workings of this program over the years, but like few programs, they can go form bad to pretty good really quick over there, for example in the mid '90s Newport went form 0-10 to 6-5 to 11-2 and that is just one of many examples form this program. My is pick is not Newport even if it would have been wise choice, but am making a bigger jump by not just one pick, but two picks Betsy Layne and Fort Knox, two teams looking to be on the rise in two distict's that have seen better days. Betsy Layne has two one thousand yard backs returning as well as a QB that thrown for over thousand yards to add to a talented group of lineman. Fort Knox is a very fast team, with the coaching of Coach Combs the teams are getting better every year, remember speed kills. That is my picks for the darkhores teams for 2010.
