Highlights of 2024: Gained a spot in the Eastern Conference Championship Game.
Looking ahead to 2025: Return seven players on both sides of the ball who are now entering their third season as starters.
Offensively we return FB Leland Wudarski and TB Aiden Wudarski who were our leading rushers in 2024. We also return our leading receiver in Kevin Vincent. Up front we return Simon Madore, Gregg Novak, Vinnie Sansone, and Branden Fadl, who at 6’2 310 pounds is looking for a breakout season.
Our QB is expected to be So. Tyler Kohut who saw some playing time last year.
Defensively we will be led by MLB Leland Wudarski and OLB Kevin Vincent, who were the leading tacklers in 2024. On the line, big things are expected from Gregg Novak and Branden Fadl. The secondary will will be inexperienced with hopes they improve each week.
Because of our low numbers, we are going to need to stay healthy and hopefully be able to compete each week, but the kids have been putting in the time in the off season which hopefully translates into a successful season.
