One of the bright spots for the Clippers was the play of senior receiver Xathon Cross. He would be one of the top receivers in the league and also find himself as a big rushing threat.
"The bright spot was Xathon Cross's performance through the season. Xathon Cross was a standout in every phase of the game. He proved he was one of the best players in the area if not the best player," Spaite said.
"The learning curve was steep for our quarterback Tony Kocanjer, but he still managed to throw for over 1,000 yards in nine games. Colin Schick had a great season despite playing soccer as his number one sport. Creed Green had a tremendous season and Jake Kamperman was a rock that we leaned on all year on both the offensive and defensive line. John Chmura impressed us with his grit all year and our defensive secondary was a bright spot all year. Trevor Dearing and Kaden Green as first-year players had a really solid year," Spaite added.
Cross, Kamperman, Green, and Schick all found themselves with the honor of being EOAC first-team selections while Kocanjer, Chandler Parish, and Brady Dixon were all chosen to the second team. Chmura was named as an honorable mention performer.
