Key Stats: In 2018, the team recorded its first playoff victory since 2008. Minor-Shaw, in his first year playing QB, set the school record for touchdown passes in a single season.

2019 Offensive Outlook: Returning All-Catholic QB Minor-Shaw can make plays with his arm and his legs. He will be complimented by a committee of backs and receivers that are young but have speed. Offensive line is versatile with some experience.

2019 Defensive Outlook: Returning All-State and All-Catholic LB Kimmel leads a linebacker core we have high expectations for. Three returning starters along the D-Line give the box defenders some continuity. Lots of competition in the secondary between young guys who are athletic but inexperienced.

2019 Special Teams Outlook: Returning All-Catholic K/P Mastrocola can change field position in a hurry, but we expect more consistency out of the guys around him.
