Highlights of 2024: Although 1-9, with six Seniors. We were still able to produce and put up some numbers. Jr. Brody Rebuck #12 threw for over 1,000 yards for the second consecutive season and threw for 10 touchdowns. On the ground he added 200 rushing yards and 4 more touchdowns. His top target So. Thomas Pollock #1 had 500+ receiving yards and 6 touchdowns. As a team we rushed for over 900 yards thanks to So. Mikey Vaders, Sr. Derek Turber-Ortiz, Jr, Luke Keally, and Fr. Gavin Keefer, and our youthful offensive-line! On defense we had 7 student-athletes tally 40 tackles or more, with Sr. Derek Turber leading the way with 82 tackles, 14 TFL’s, 2.5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. As a secondary we intercepted 5 passes last year, and defended 24 passes with So. Maddox Hoover leading the way with 5.
