Highlights of 2024: Our players demonstrated unwavering commitment to each other and the team, which was reflected in our performance on the field. After two challenging seasons, we returned to our winning tradition, surpassing our combined win total from the previous two years and securing a playoff berth for the first time since 2021. Defensively, we saw a notable increase in sacks and turnovers, while offensively, we featured a 1,200-yard rusher, a 500-plus-yard receiver, and a 1,000-yard passer. These accomplishments were made possible by significant improvements on both the offensive and defensive lines.
Looking ahead to 2025: Building on last season’s success, we are committed to continued growth and improvement. With several key players returning on both sides of the ball, we are poised for another strong season.
Offensively, we bring back key skill players, including Brody McLaughlin, Tommy McGinnis, Drew Puleo, and Shane Gilday. Additionally, four of our five starting offensive linemen return: Reid Cassidy, Jack Gillespie, Caden Brookes, and Brett Patroni.
Defensively, while we have key positions to fill at every level, we have experienced players ready to step up. At linebacker, Shane Gilday, Will Schriver, Nick Rassias, and Charlie Williams all saw significant playing time last season. On the defensive line, Jack Gillespie, Caden Brookes, and Brett Patroni made valuable contributions and look to build on their performance. In the secondary, we return Drew Puleo, Brody McLaughlin, Hayden Wenturine, Jack Law, and Jesus Molina, all of whom bring experience and depth to our defense.
