Plagued by numerous injuries and facing a tough schedule, the varsity football team ended its season with a disappointing re­ cord of 2-6. These injuries involved such key players as Brian Roach, a strong offensive player who suf­ fered a leg injury; running back Dean DeSantis; Tim Swain, who broke his ankle; and Chris McAvoy. The loss of so many players result­ ed in a lack of depth which caused
the team to be worn down towards the end of many of its games. The team had many outstanding play­ ers, such as Dave Lonski, who was named Most Valuable Player, Dean DeSantis, who received the Coach’s Award, and Dave Giacomarra, who was named Scholar-Athlete. Al­ though the team is losing many seniors, there are many strong returning players and the team’s future looks bright.
