Question Marks: Ranked 11th in the Suffolk County Pre-Season Division III. They will be putting in a new style of the Spread offense and they
want to have a more aggressive defense however they have a very young team (8 sophomores) so there will be a learning curve.
Recruiting: seniors Stephen Hazel Athlete, Makai Harewood OLB, Buddy Crowley Center/DT and John Nici are all DII/DIII candidates. Juniors
who have potential to play at the next level are Mickey Hopkins MLB and Kevin Reichardt SB/Safety.
Coach's Comments: We will be a very young as there are 8 sophomores on varsity. Both the OL/DL will be very young and inexperienced. The
skill positions are young but very talented. We must get off to a good start and young players need to develop. Coach Mark O’Brien
