Coach: Bert Mozealous
Conference: SCC
2012 Record: 4-6
2013 Kickoff: Seymour, Sept. 11, 7 p.m.
Top offensive players: Dave Ryan, 6-4, 195, Sr., QB; Joe Choiniere, 5-9, 185, Sr., capt., RB/WR/DB; Nick Bottone, 6-4, 165, Sr., WR; Ben Feola, 6-0, 180, Sr., WR/LB; Cory Ricks, 5-8, 165, Sr., RB/DB; Eric Laugeni, 5-10, 220, Sr.,capt., OL; Joe Capela, 5-9, 210, Sr., OL; Tyler Burns, 5-8, 160, Jr., QB/WR/DB; Lyle Luth, 5-9, 175, Sr., K/P.
Top defensive players: Choiniere, Sr., DB; Feola, Sr., LB; Ricks, Sr., DB; Burns, Jr., DB; Matt Attolino, 5-8, 170, Jr., DB; Mike Butler, 6-1, 255, Sr., DL; D’Andre Wilson, 5-9, 155, Sr., LB; John Mezzone, 6-2, 185, Sr., LB.
Key losses: Dennis Flanagan, OL/DL; David Attolino, RB; James Semmonella, RB.
Outlook: The line on both sides of the ball suffered heavy graduation losses, including two-time all-SCC selection Dennis Flanagan, and Greg Purcell. Quarterback James Semmonella and running back David Attolino (1,136 yards, 13 TDs) also graduated. But some talent returns. Ryan will get the start under center. He has good size and strength but is untested. Choiniere and Ricks will likely share the duties at running back. The two will also be threats to catch passes out of the backfield, while Bottone, Feola and Burns will add depth to the receiving corps. Luth is expected to be one of the top place kickers in the SCC. He made 46 of 47 extra points and nine of 10 field goals as a junior.
