D GURRIERI

is entering his 13th season as head coach and 22nd season overall at Manalapan High School, and with a 104-31 record leading the Braves, Gurrieri has created a winning tradition and developed Manalapan into one of the top public-school programs in the New Jersey.

During his tenure as Manalapan’s head coach, Gurrieri has guided the Braves to seven Shore Conference division championships, six appearances in NJSIAA state sectional championship games, three additional appearances in the sectional semifinals and, in 2014, the program’s first and only NJSIAA state sectional championship.

In 2011, Gurrieri was selected as the conference Coach of the Year by the Shore Conference Football Coaches Association, and in 2014 was selected as Central Jersey Coach of the Year by the New Jersey Football Coaches Association.

Since 2010, Manalapan football players have gone on to receive 37 scholarships, including five to Ivy League schools. Two players made it to the NFL this past season with Anthony Firkser (Harvard) playing for the Tennessee Titans and Saeed Blacknall (Penn State) playing for the Oakland Raiders.

Before becoming Manalapan’s head coach, Gurrieri was the Braves’ defensive coordinator from 1997 to 2003. In that seven-year period, Manalapan made five playoff appearances and reached the 2003 Central Jersey Group 4 championship game.

Prior to coming to Manalapan, Gurrieri was the offensive coordinator at his alma mater, Susan Wagner High School on Staten Island, which was one of the premier programs in New York City.

Susan Wagner won six NYC championships in a 10-year span, had a 48-game winning streak and was ranked 17th in the nation by USA Today.

From 1985 to 1987, Gurrieri coached the running backs at his collegiate alma mater, Wagner College.

A native of Staten Island, Gurrieri was a threeyear starter as a running back at Susan Wagner High School where he achieved First Team AllStaten Island and First Team All-New York City honors. He started his collegiate career at Northeastern University before returning home and playing at Wagner College where he was a two-year starter.

Gurrieri graduated from Wagner College in 1983 and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with a minor in Special Education. He was a high school teacher at Susan Wagner High School before joining the New York Police Department, serving on the force from 1986 to 1993. He retired with a line-of-duty injury and currently works as a security officer at Manalapan High School.

Gurrieri was also heavily involved with the NYPD football team as a starting fullback from 1988-1999 and as the team’s offensive coordinator from 1990-1996.

Gurrieri married his high school sweetheart, Debbie, in April of 1984. They have three beautiful children: Michael, married to Kristen; Eddie, married to Jackie; Nicole, married to Matt. Ed and Debbie have one precious grandson, Dominic, who is approaching his second birthday, and are excited to meet their first granddaughter, due in September.

Hall of Fame

B OB ZAMPELLE

Continued from page 12

A 1944 graduate of Keyport High School, Jerome “Bobby” Zampelle joined the United States Merchant Marines and served his country for four years.

Upon leaving the service, Zampelle enrolled at the Panzer School of Physical Education (known today as Montclair State University) where he excelled at baseball. He turned down an offer to sign with the St. Louis Cardinals to return to his native Keyport, raise a family and pursue his ambition of being a teacher and coach.

He obtained his first teaching job in the Union Beach school system and eventually moved over to the Keyport school system in 1952.

While at Keyport, Zampelle coached football, basketball and baseball with his baseball team winning the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group 2 championship in 1961. He eventually became the principal at Keyport High School before retiring in 1988.

Following his career as an educator, Zampelle became a respected and sought-after sports official throughout both the Shore Conference and rest of the state, officiating football as well as basketball and baseball for 49 years. He retired from officiating in 2009 after he had officiated many state championship games in all three sports.

Today, Zampelle and his wife of 65 years, the former Edith Masson, continue to enjoy life in their beloved Keyport where they raised six children and have been blessed with 10 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

We honor “Bobby Z”, as he has come to be known, with his induction into the Shore Football Coaches Foundation Hall of Fame.

Head Coach

Jerry Schulte

Rumson-Fair Haven

ver the last decade, Rumson-Fair Haven has established itself as one of the premier public-school football programs in New Jersey, and the one constant throughout has been Jerry Schulte.

O

As the Bulldogs current head coach and former defensive coordinator, Schulte has played a part in all six of Rumson’s NJSIAA state sectional championships – two as head coach and four as defensive mastermind.

This past season, Rumson won its fifth sectional title in the last six years and then emerged victorious in the inaugural NJSIAA Bowl Series to cap a fantastic 10-2 season. After falling to Somerville in 2017 Central Jersey Group 3 final to snap their streak of five straight sectional titles, the Bulldogs earned revenge to reclaim the championship with an epic road victory. Once again taking on Somerville, this time on the Pioneers’ home field, Rumson’s ground game ruled the day in a 42-35 victory that brought the Central Jersey Group 3 title back to Ridge Road.

Senior running back Alex Maldjian put forth a legendary performance with 271 yards and four touchdowns on a whopping 49 carries behind a mauling offensive line of Ryan McCann, Evan Davis, Tim Kelly, Ethan Ardolino and Spencer Short. Senior tight end Ian O’Connor added a pair of touchdown catches from junior quarterback Collin Coles, including a 71yard score in the first quarter that answered a Somerville touchdown.

Rumson then took on Woodrow Wilson and record-setting quarterback Nick Kargman in the Central-South Group 3 Bowl Game at MetLife Stadium. Maldjian had another monster game with 40 carries for 204 yards and a touchdown, plus a two-point conversion run in a 26-18 victory. Sophomore Johnny Volker added a touchdown run while Coles tossed touchdowns to O’Connor and senior Jackson McCarthy, the latter coming with 1:15 left in regulation

to snap an 18-all tie. It was also a big game for Rumson’s defense, which held the Tigers’ high-scoring offense to just 18 points thanks to several timely plays. Senior linebacker Keegan Woods, the Shore Sports Network Defensive Player of the Year, was outstanding with 11 tackles, an interception and a game-changing forced fumble.

Prior to its successful state playoff run, Rumson won the Shore Conference Colonial Division title with a perfect 5-0 record against the likes of St. John Vianney, Brick, Brick Memorial, Freehold and Middletown North.

Rumson had 10 players selected to the Shore Sports Network All-Shore teams, including First Team selections Maldjian, McCann, O’Connor, Woods and defensive lineman Henry Sullivan. Maldjian ran for 1,702 yards and 23 touchdowns while Woods had a state-leading 178 tackles.

Throughout his tenure at Rumson, Schulte has presided over a defense that has turned in several spectacular performances in championship games. When Rumson won its first sectional title in 2010, the Bulldogs shut down a tremendous Matawan offense to stun the Huskies, 13-7. The following season, the Bulldogs lost to Matawan in the state final, but the defense allowed just three points in a 3-0 defeat.

Rumson’s second state title came in 2013 when it held down a powerful Weequahic team in a 13-6 victory.

In 2014, Schulte’s defense suffocated Delaware Valley in a 21-0 triumph. The 2015 season saw another championship shutout as the Bulldogs blanked rival Red Bank, 21-0, to hoist their third straight title and fourth overall.

Schulte is 29-7 as Rumson’s head coach and has an overall head-coaching record of 88-85-1 including his time at Wall (1990-1999) and Mater Dei Prep (1980-1984).

A 1970 graduate of Keansburg High School where he was a standout fullback and middle linebacker, Schulte then played collegiately at the now-defunct Upsala College in East Orange before an injury ended his career. He transferred to Monmouth University where he graduated in 1975.

Schulte began his coaching career as an assistant at Keansburg before head-coaching stops at Mater Dei and Wall. He was the offensive coordinator at Monmouth Regional from 2000 to 2004 before joining Rumson’s staff for the 2005 season.

Schulte has also been a wrestling coach around the Shore Conference, serving as the head coach at Mater Dei Prep, Wall and Monmouth Regional and as an assistant at Wall and Rumson.

Schulte and several members of his coaching staff, including his son, Jeremy, will lead a Monmouth County squad that includes four Rumson standouts: linebacker Christian Lanzalotto, offensive lineman Ethan Ardolino, defensive lineman Kenny Rainey and defensive back Ryan Dupree.

Head Coach

Len Zdanowicz

Brick High School

s a former player and assistant coach at Brick Township High School, most of Len Zdanowicz’s life has revolved around the Green Dragons’ football program.

Playing and coaching under the legendary Warren Wolf, Zdanowicz dreamed of a day when perhaps he would be the head coach at one of the Shore Conference’s most storied programs.

A

That chance came four years ago, and in Zdanowicz’s short time at the helm of the green and white, Brick has remained a championship contender and one of the top teams in the Shore Conference.

This past season, Brick went 8-3 and reached the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group 4 championship game behind an outstanding senior class. Senior linebacker Richie Tallmadge, senior quarterback/wide receiver/defensive back Jimmy Leblo and senior defensive back Mike McGuigan were each Shore Sports Network First Team All-Shore selections while senior offensive lineman Zach Piscope, senior wide receiver/defensive back Cole Groschel and senior defensive end Cory Englehardt were each Second Team All-Shore selections.

lead with seven interceptions. McGuigan also had a state-best seven interceptions to go along with 52 tackles. Englehardt made 102 tackles with 12 tackles for loss and five sacks while Groschel battled through injuries all season but still made impactful contributions on both sides of the ball.

Piscope led a Brick offensive line that paved the way for Brick to rush for 2,093 yards and 26 touchdowns.

Brick’s signature win was an impressive 42-14 victory over Middletown South in the Central Jersey Group 4 semifinals. The Dragons also had a pair of wins over Constitution Division champion Jackson Memorial. Brick had the No. 10 scoring offense in the Shore at 25.4 points per game and the No. 10 scoring defense at 12.3 points per game. The Dragons finished the season ranked No. 5 in the Shore Sports Network Top 10.

Brick also reached the Central Jersey Group 4 championship game in 2016 in Zdanowicz’s second season. Zdanowicz is just the fourth coach in program history and has a 30-14 record in four seasons.

Zdanowicz will have his Brick staff with him to help guide the Ocean County all-stars, as well as Lakewood head coach L.J. Clark, Lakewood assistant Evan Baubles, Pinelands head coach Matt Fuller and Hall of Fame head coach Al Saner. The Dragons will be represented on the field by Tallmadge, Groschel, McGuigan, Piscope, Englehardt, lineman Andre Edgerton and running back/kicker Jake Wynkoop.

Zdanowicz is a 1990 graduate of Brick Township High School where he played offensive line and helped the Dragons capture the 1989 NJSIAA South Jersey Group 4 championship. He played collegiately at William Paterson University where he was a two-year captain and an AllNew Jersey Athletic Conference selection in 1994 and 1995. Upon graduation from college in 1997, Zdanowicz returned to Brick where he served as an offensive and defensive line coach from 1997 to 2008. He was an assistant under the late Tim Osborn at Jackson Liberty in 2009 and 2010, returned to Brick as an assistant from 2011-2012 and was the offensive coordinator at Lakewood in 2014.

Tallmadge was named the Constitution Division co-Defensive Player of the Year with 176 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and two sacks.

Leblo did a little bit of everything in running for a team-high 758 yards and 12 touchdowns, leading the team in receiving with 315 yards and six touchdowns on just 13 receptions and throwing for 187 yards and two touchdowns. He also made 76 tackles and tied for the Shore and state

Towns also had a batted pass that resulted in an interception by Brick Memorial defensive lineman Chris Hayes. Miserendino was selected as Ocean County’s offensive MVP for leading the nine-play, 86-yard drive that resulted in his touchdown pass to Walker with 8:30 to play in the game. Miserendino also had a game-high 48 yards rushing. Brick defensive lineman Jordan Keefe added a fumble recovery and Barnegat linebacker Josh Bowen blocked a field goal attempt.

Middletown North defensive lineman Matt Dombrowski had a fumble recovery that led to Monmouth’s touchdown and was selected as their defensive MVP. Pasquin was named offensive MVP with his touchdown reception. Freehold quarterback Jake Curry had a game high 110 yards on 9 of 13 passing. Freehold’s Todd Burger also had a fumble recovery and Ocean’s Greyson Stoothoff had an interception.

2018 – Monmouth 28, Ocean 14 Highlights: Freehold quarterback Ashante Worthy concluded his record-breaking career by accounting for 155 total yards and two touchdowns en route to being selected as the game’s Most Valuable Player as Monmouth County won its second straight Gridiron Classic to extend its lead in the all-time series. Worthy ran for a team-high 94 yards and a 16-yard touchdown on 10 carries and threw for 61 yards and a touchdown, connecting with Red Bank Catholic wide receiver Brandon Lombana on a 15-yard screen pass.

Red Bank Catholic running back Zack Bair added 51 yards rushing and a touchdown and Marlboro wide receiver Justin Marcus caught three passes for 26 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown reception from Long Branch quarterback Juwan Wilkins. Monmouth County opened a 21-0 halftime lead and stretched its advantage to 28-0 in the third quarter to put the game away. Long Branch’s Kevin Porch was selected as Monmouth County’s defensive MVP thanks to a key pass breakup in the first quarter and a timely recovery of a squib kick in the second half.

Ocean County prevented the shutout when Lacey running back Jason Giresi scored on a 6-yard run early in the fourth quarter, which was set up by a 41-yard run by Manchester running back Jalen Glenn.

Mater Dei Prep (10-2)

A

By Bob Badders

Managing Editor

lone at the top is the Shore Sports Network Team of the Year: Red Bank Catholic. RBC won the NJSIAA Non-Public Group 3 state title and finished as the Shore Conference’s only undefeated team. The Caseys were our No. 1 team in August and remained in their perch the entire way, which is a testament to their talent and focus.

No. 2 Mater Dei Prep advanced to its third straight state final and suffered its only conference loss of the season in the aforementioned Non-Public Group 3 championship game. Long Branch won back-to-back sectional titles for the first time in program history and won a program-record 12 games to finish at No. 3, while Rumson-Fair Haven won its fifth championship in six years to finish at No. 4. Brick, which reached the Central Jersey Group 4 championship game, rounds out the top 5.

The rest of the Top 10 can be found below. Congratulations to all the teams who won division and state championships in 2018.

The Seraphs turned in another outstanding year with their only in-state blemish coming in the Non-Public Group 3 final when they fell to No. 1 Red Bank Catholic, 14-10. Mater Dei won its third straight division title by going undefeated in the Patriot Division and reached its third straight state final. The Seraphs defeated No. 8, Manasquan, 41-0, in a nondivisional game and took down North Jersey power DePaul, 28-23, in the Non-Public Group 3 semifinals. They had the No. 1 scoring offense in the Shore at 36.8 points per game and were sixth in scoring defense at 11.1 points per game. Junior running back Malik Ingram was selected as the Patriot Division Offensive Player of the Year and senior defensive lineman Izaiah Henderson was named the Patriot Division Defensive Player of the Year. Several standouts will move on through graduation, including the Boston College-bound duo of Henderson and linebacker Shittah Sillah, linebacker Russell Ferrisi, quarterback Rob McCoy, wide receiver Isaiah Alston and offensive lineman Nolan Aloia. Ingram leads a very good group of returners, however, including wide receiver/defensive back Isaiah Noguera, wide receiver/defensive back Clarence Lewis, defensive back Tahaj Parland, defensive end Dominick Giudice and defensive tackle Amir Coleman.

Long Branch (12-1) The Green Wave had arguably the best season in program history by repeating as Central Jersey Group 4 champions, winning the Central/South Group 4 Bowl Game and finishing with a program single-season record 12 wins. Long Branch defeated No. 5 Brick, 21-14, to win its second straight sectional title and then capped the season with a 20-17 comeback win over Shawnee in the bowl game.

The Green Wave also had wins over No. 7 Red Bank and No. 10 Wall and their only defeat came to No. 1 Red Bank Catholic. Long Branch’s offense finished No. 4 in the Shore at 33.5 points per game while its defense was fifth at 10.3 points per game with five shutouts.

Junior running back Jermaine Corbett led the state in rushing with 2,021 yards and had a Shore-best 31 total touchdowns, and was selected as the Shore Sports Network Offensive Player of the Year. Senior linebacker Luke Arnold was selected as a Freedom Division CoDefensive Player of the Year. An all-time senior class will exit the program but there will be plenty of talent returning in 2019 with Corbett, linebacker Jah’Kwan Gordon, linebacker Jayson Glasper, center Tracey Taylor and wide receiver Jayon Farrar leading the way.

Rumson-Fair Haven (10-2)

2018 Final Shore Sports Network Top I0 Red Bank Catholic (10-0) The Caseys defeated No. 2 Mater Dei Prep, 14-10, to capture the NJSIAA Non-Public Group 3 state title and finish as the topranked team in the Shore. RBC went wire-to-wire as the No. 1 team, claimed its second state title in five years and finished undefeated for the first time since 1960. Along the way, the Caseys had five wins over ranked opponents, including victories over No. 3 Long Branch and No. 4 Rumson-Fair Haven, both of which won NJSIAA sectional titles and bowl games. In addition to the win over Mater Dei, RBC also defeated No. 7 Red Bank and beat St. John Vianney in the season-opener when the Lancers were ranked No. 2. The Caseys had the No. 3 scoring offense in the Shore at 33.7 points per game and the No. 2 scoring defense at 10 points per game. Boston Collegebound senior quarterback Steve Lubischer was selected as the Freedom Division Offensive Player of the Year and was named the Shore Sports Network Most Valuable Player. Senior defensive back Jaden Key was selected as a Freedom Division Co-Defensive Player of the Year and head coach Frank Edgerly was named the Freedom Division Coach of the Year. The Caseys will lose an exceptional senior class to graduation but have several standouts returning including Notre Dame-bound tight end Kevin Bauman, Boston College-bound linebacker Charlie Gordinier., running back Billy Guidetti, wide receiver Sean Rossback, running back Kevin Degnan and defensive lineman Jake Louro.

The Bulldogs’ dynasty rolled on in 2018 as Rumson won its fifth sectional title in the last six seasons and also captured the Central/South Group 3 Bowl Game trophy. Rumson took down undefeated Somerville, 4235, to win the Central Jersey Group 3 championship – its sixth overall – before defeating Woodrow Wilson, 26-18, in its bowl game. The Bulldogs defeated No. 5 Brick in the regular season on their way to the Colonial Division title and defeated No. 7 Red Bank in the Central Jersey Group 3 semifinals. Rumson had the No. 7 scoring offense in the Shore at 29.9 points per game and was also No. 7 in scoring defense at 11.5 points per game.

RFH swept the Colonial Division awards as senior running back Alex Maldjian was selected as the Offensive Player of the Year, senior linebacker Keegan Woods was selected as the Co-Defensive Player of the Year and head coach Jerry Schulte was named Coach of the Year. Woods, who led the state with 178 tackles, was also selected as the Shore Sports Network Defensive Player of the year. A plethora of standouts will move on via graduation but Rumson has proven it can withstand such losses. Quarterback Collin Coles, running backs Peter Crowley and Johnny Volker, wide receiver Patrick Jamin, defensive backs Drew Frankel and Ryan Ruane, defensive lineman Von Factor and linebacker Gordon Forsyth will anchor the 2019 squad.

Brick (8-3) The Dragons came up just short in their quest for a sectional championship when they fell to No. 3 Long Branch, 21-14 in the Central Jersey Group 4 championship game. The Dragons’ signature win was a 4214 victory over No. 6 Middletown South in the Central Jersey Group 4 semifinals. They also had a pair of wins over Constitution Division champion Jackson Memorial. Brick had the No. 10 scoring offense in the Shore at 25.4 points per game and the No. 10 scoring defense at 12.3 points per game. Senior linebacker Richie Tallmadge was selected as the Colonial Division Co-Defensive Player of the Year. Almost all of Brick’s starters and top contributors were seniors, so many new faces will be taking over next season. Quarterback Anthony Prato, lineman John Costanza, wide receiver Val Grigorian and running back/linebacker Joe Armooh lead the group of returners.

Middletown South (8-3) The Eagles won the American Division title and reached the Central Jersey Group 4 semifinals to finish No. 6 in the Shore. Middletown South had dramatic wins over Manalapan (17-14) and Toms River North (14-13) to claim the division title and delivered its signature win by taking down No. 4 Rumson-Fair Haven, 14-7, in the final week of the regular season. Middletown South had the No. 17 offense in the Shore at 21.4 points per game and the No. 12 scoring defense at 15.3 points per game.

Senior quarterback Trevor Brey was selected as the American Division Co-Offensive Player of the Year, senior linebacker Matt Tardy was selected as the American Division Defensive Player of the Year and head coach Steve Antonucci was named American Division Coach of the Year. Standouts such as Brey, Tardy, running back Jamie Petrillo, kicker Chris Kaldrovics, running back/linebacker Ken McCarthy, linebacker Dylan Walling and offensive lineman Brady Smith will graduate, but there is a good nucleus returning led by running back/defensive lineman Vinny Condito, running back/defensive back Chris Lotito and wide receiver/defensive back Matt Krellin.

Red Bank (7-3) Following a 2-8 season in 2017, the Bucs turned it around this year to win seven games and reach the Central Jersey Group 3 semifinals.

Red Bank’s signature win was a 28-26 victory over No. 9 Holmdel in Week 2 on a touchdown catch by Nigel Mitchell with 10 seconds left. The Bucs had the No. 15 offense in the Shore at 22.1 points per game, led by the big-play tandem of Mitchell and junior running back Makai Mickens, the latter of whom became Red Bank’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 2003.

Red Bank’s defense also finished the season No. 15 at 16.8 points per game with one shutout. The Bucs’ three losses were to No. 1 Red Bank Catholic, No. 3 Rumson-Fair Haven and No. 4 Long Branch. Mitchell, Mickens, senior defensive tackle Ka’Shaun Turner, senior offensive lineman Colin Chato and

36

sophomore wide receiver/defensive back Nick Ferrogine were selected to the Freedom Division All-Division team. Mickens, Ferrogine, quarterback Jack Chamberlain and tight end/linebacker Kyle Weisman lead the cast of returners in 2019.

Manasquan (8-3) The Warriors turned in another solid season by winning eight games and advancing to the Central Jersey Group 2 championship game.

However, Manasquan fell to Hillside, which was undefeated at the time, to thwart its quest for a 13th sectional title. The Warriors won the Liberty Division title and their only defeats in conference came to No. 2 Mater Dei Prep and No. 10 Wall. Manasquan finished with the No. 13 offense in the Shore at 23.3 points per game and the No. 16 defense at 17.6 points per game. Senior running back Canyon Birch was selected as the Liberty Division’s Offensive Player of the Year, senior defensive back James Pendergist was selected as a CoDefensive Player of the Year and Jay Price was named division Coach of the Year. Offensive linemen Art Foreman and Alec Wells, defensive end Dylan D’Anton and fullback/defensive back Rashid Tuddles were also selected to the All-Division team.

Manasquan was a senior-heavy team so many starting spots will be up for grabs in 2019. Linebackers Tyler Callahan and Shayne Leddy, wide receiver John Foreman, defensive back Christian Masonius, offensive lineman/linebacker Charlie Sawitsky and lineman Garrett Terlizzi lead the group of returners for next season.

Holmdel (8-2) It was a triumphant year for the Hornets, who had their best season in over a decade with one of the most complete teams in the Shore.

Holmdel won the National Division title, its first division title since 2007, and also won a playoff game for the first time since 2007. The Hornets reached the Central Jersey Group 3 semifinals and held a halftime lead against thenundefeated Somerville before falling, 31-20, to a team that was

ranked in the top 10 in New Jersey. The Hornets’ only other loss came to No. 7 Red Bank, 28-26 in the closing seconds of the game. Holmdel had the No. 1 scoring defense in the Shore allowing just 7.9 points per game and recording five shutouts.

The Hornets offense finished No. 2 in the Shore at 34.1 points per game. Head coach Jeff Rainess was selected as the Shore Sports Network Coach of the Year and also named the National Division Coach of the Year. Senior running back Dean Gallo was named the division Offensive Player of the Year and senior defensive back Mack Byrne was the division Defensive Player of the Year. The Hornets had a total of 11 All-Division players.

Holmdel had a huge senior contingent so the challenge will be to buoy this year’s success and keep the program moving in the right direction next year. Running backs Cameron LaMountain and Tom Ammirati, linebacker Nick Bauman, safety Evan Jennings and tight end Bob Eknoian lead the cast of returners for 2019.

Wall (6-3) Deciding on which team to rank in the 10th and final spot was the most difficult part about compiling the final rankings. Several teams were in the mix, but we settled on Wall because it had the most significant win of those teams being considered: an 18-7 victory over No. 8 Manasquan on Thanksgiving. The Crimson Knights losses were to Jackson Memorial (12-6 in overtime), No. 4 Long Branch and Timber Creek in the South Jersey Group 3 playoffs. Wall had the No. 11 offense in the Shore at 24.6 points per game and the No. 8 defense at 11.8 points per game. Senior quarterback Dylan Richey was selected as the Constitution Division Offensive Player of the Year and was one of six Wall players on the All-Division team. While the Crimson Knights will graduate standouts like Richey, tight end/linebacker Tanner Powers, offensive linemen Brady Scott and Joe Fardella, long snapper/linebacker Joe Shimko, defensive back Kamaal Cofer and defensive lineman Connor Molloy, they bring several starters. Quarterback/ eceiver/linebacker Logan Peters, running backs Casey Larkin and Matt DeSarno, linebacker Charlie Sasso, wide receiver/defensive back Mike Galos and lineman Ian Ackerman lead the core for 2019.
