Coach’s Comments: 

“We have a young team with some talent, but lack experience. It is a good group that works and our quarterback returns – he’s probably the fastest kid on the field. On defense, Myles Hamilton is the top player and he’s the son of former Giant Keith Hamilton.” – Head Coach Al Chiola
