Coach’s Comments:
“It’s going to be fun. We’re a very young group led by the best quarterback in the state of New Jersey and the kids have had success on the freshman and JV level. There’s optimism with a very good coaching staff, including three former head coaches in Clint Wiley (defensive coordinator), Nick Strom (offensive coordinator), and Rob Cramere. We have a huge task with Red Bank Catholic on opening weekend, followed by our WJFL schedule. The kids are excited and we’re headed in the right direction.” – Head Coach Brian Wright
