- Cut by two teams
- Got the first downs to ice the win for the Bills today
Headed to the Divisional Round
As College coaches begin to hit the road again, we’ve still got 18 kids want to play college ball, including 6 2024’s looking for a home. These kids come from a State Championship pedigree, know how to work and know what it takes to win on the field, in the classroom and in life!
Our hearts go out to the family of Dave Christopher. Dave was the biggest supporter of Fort Hill. I am just glad we could send him out on top! Dave you certainly will be missed but your voice and passion will be forever remembered at Fort Hill HS!
Fordham is getting a ready to play Run stopper who can still get after the QB in the middle of their defensive line! Carter is ready for the next level but will never stop working to make himself a better player!

@CarterHess77
Saturday we ended our season in the most perfect way.. winning the State Championship! This was a truly special group who worked their butts off for each other. We always say December trips to Annapolis start in January and it couldn’t have been truer with this group! GBR
We had our first workout with the 8th graders! The group listened and seemed to buy into what we are trying to accomplish! More good things coming to The Hill for sure! If you’re on the fence about joining, it’s not too late! GBRx9
Condolences to the Slider family on the loss of their two sons. Austin was a 4 year player at FH who graduated in 2020. While Nathan never played at FH he played with a number of kids in our program. Please keep the family and our kids in your thoughts and prayers!
One team goal every year is to win a State Championship. A bigger measuring stick for the program is getting kids to the next level. 7 seniors want to play at the next level. Our goal is to help get those guys that opportunity! If you have any interest reach out!
After about 20 months of trying we finally got a week 8!! The 2022 schedule is finally complete! The Sentinels are working hard and will be ready… August 10th will be here before we know it! GBR!
Proud of the way the guys played tonight! They came out with fire and intensity and opened the season with a big win! However, they started the day even better! Showing up at various youth games and giving them their support! GBR.. One big family!
Coaches, as you hit the road this week please consider coming out to Western Maryland to see what we have to offer. Championship pedigree! Workouts take place daily at 1:45! GBR
Congratulations class of 2022! You certainly have left your legacy and mark on Fort Hill HS. This is just a starting point. Go off and do bigger and better things in your lives but know that you always have a home! Stop by and don’t be strangers!GBR!
More resolve than other player I've had! Became a starter Week 10 of his sophomore year and has never looked back! Broke the FH TD and scoring record his junior year! Also a standout defender who has a history of making big plays in big moments!
Thank you to
@FrostburgFB
and
@coach_ewags
for hosting their football camp tonight.
@FH_Football
had 8 guys up in the Burg showing out. All our guys said the same thing. They learned a lot, worked none stop, got a lot of reps and had a great time!
100 days until the opening Kickoff against Northern!! Average players want to be left alone, good players want to be coached but only at their own standards, but great players want to be coached and told the truth everyday so they can become even better! Which are you going to be
Fantastic as a freshman, two way starter by years end as a sophomore, became the man as a junior; breaking Ty Johnson's TD and scoring records along the way.
@jabrildaniels3
Senior year incoming! What can he do for your university in fall of 25?
Congrats Tony! Onward and Upward. Go do big things! They got one of the best! I hope this will open the door for more of our kids to play at
@FrostburgFB
Couldn’t be prouder of the guys. Dave gave so much of his life to Fort Hill. Although it was optional the guys felt compelled to be there in support for somebody who was always there for us! It was an honor to be able to serve the Christopher family today. Go Big Red!

For 65 YEARS Dave Christopher never missed a

football game, a stretch that begin in the 1956 season and spanned 716 consecutive games before health issues arose — culminating with his last, a 2022 State Championship win.
Today he was laid to rest.
WE ARE…..FORT HILL!
It was an honor to coach under Coach Appel. A lot of the success that we continue to have can be contributed to what Todd has taught me and the entire coaching staff who either played or coached under him at Fort Hill. Blessed to have been in attendance to hear his message today!
Former HC Todd Appel was inducted into the Maryland Football Coaches Association Hall Of Fame this morning.
Appel spent 27 years as a coach at

It was nice getting down to Washington Middle School this afternoon and meeting the upcoming Freshman class! I look forward to some great times with you. If you missed the meeting today and are interested in playing next season please reach out!
The Fort Hill and Cumberland community lost a good one today with the passing of
@Twade1234
. Not only one of the greatest fans we’ve had but more importantly a genuinely kind soul! We will miss you! Claudia and family you are in a thoughts and prayers!
Glad the visit went well! Frostburg has upgraded a lot since I went there! You look like a Bobcat! As always

Pound for pound one of the strongest kids in the program! Kid works hard! Not many kickers can also play a 5 tech on defense! But I guess when you throw this kind of weight around….
Lots of good stuff happening right now! Good to see our kids getting out and seeing campuses and programs live and in person. Good to see kids getting out into the camp circuit! Nice to see schools stopping by and talking to our kids!
In his senior szn
@CarterHess77

@FORDHAMFOOTBALL
Best of luck kid! Keep dominating!
Congratulations to
@CarterHess77
on being named 1A Player of the year! This is a well deserving honor for a kid who had one heck of a season and career at Fort Hill!
Wrapped up camp with some great competition! Thank you to all that came out this week! The future is bright! Good luck with your seasons! See you next year! GBR
Man! What a special group of kids! You guys deserve it all! Way to take the punches and hang in there! And good lord that fight song sounds just as good in the gym as it does in the stadium!
Congrats to Hannah Custer on winning the 1A State Championship in Pole Vault during the Indoor track Meet! Hannah cleared 8-6 and is within a few inches of the school record! BTW.. she’s only a sophomore!
No wrong statements here. It’s a crime that the kid doesn’t have an offer. 1A school but not a 1A schedule. Lines up against legit D1 players and does his thing.
This kid here has grown in so many ways the past few months. Bril is becoming one of the teams best leaders and is preparing to have a heavy load this season!
Before we get into the 2025s,
@jaylanatkinson1
C/O 2024 is still looking for a home. Classic example of a late bloomer, does everything right. Will play anywhere you ask him to! Yes/no sir kid. Worked for everything he has achieved and will continue to do so at the next level!
Last Tuesday we had a ring ceremony that brought an end to a championship season! Congrats to all involved on a successful season bringing home

and good luck to the seniors as they move on to do great things! Miss you 3!

Let’s hear it for our guys today at the Hooley Plunge! We were missing a few to basketball, wrestling and a Junior Day but still were able to raise nearly $5,000 for Special Olympics! The only thing better than raising money for our program is raising money for others! Great Job!
Kicked well in our first live scrimmage! I put my first kickoff down to the 7 and drove my second to the 2. Also got on the board with a 45 yard field goal! I still have lots of work to put in and I’m very excited to see what this season brings!!

The Maryland Football Foundation, in partnership with coaches and media from around the state, reveals this year's all-region teams (with all-state to follow), which honors more than 700 players:
The 4x8 team of Jaxon Jones, Braden Puffenberger, Cooper Silber and Landon Sensabaugh finished 5th at the State Championship! The team ran a PR of 8:27.70
+ 2 Football championships= 4 State Titles going into the summer of his senior year. This Kid is a winner! The anchor of our team the last two years. The anchor of yours the next four?
Jabril Daniels scores on a TD run, then a two-point conversion run, and THEN delivers a game-sealing INT ... all in the final minute ... as Fort Hill wins its first-ever game against an Ohio opponent to stay undefeated this season.
Congrats Cam. I am happy for you! You had a great final season. Can’t wait to see where you end up.
@CoachJBake
@Coach_Luvara
let me know if you need anything!
Today we had the opportunity to meet with the 8th graders for the first time! It looks like a solid group of players about 30 deep! If you were absent from school today please reach out. We will see you guys soon!
Although you have been criminally under recruited, this is a big one. This one has been a long time coming! Congrats Tavin! Getting close to decision time!
If any schools are looking for a Kicker/Punter 2020 Graduate
@Dannyking_03
is available with two years of eligibility left! I’d be happy to help you make that connection
Congrats to
@WillisTavin
on winning the James J Turner Memorial Award for Outstanding Junior Male Athlete. Tavin also plays basketball and Runs Track!
@FH_Football
I’d bet a lot of the kids that are being recruited over him couldn’t do this with 185. Carter controls the outtake of every game he is in from the trenches! Doesn’t need the ball in his hands!
The Freshman
@CARSONBENDER25
had a heck of a first year in the program. Not too many kids are able to come in and accomplish what Carson did. Carson is a structured kid who sets goals and goes out and accomplishes them!
