"The ability to have the opportunity to play eleven varsity football games this year is a positive and a win in and of itself. We were able to stay together as a team and win three of our last four contest, building for next year," Altomare stated. "Offensively, we tried to mix it up this year with a new system. We ended up with about 900 yards passing and 1,900 yards rushing. Defensively, we had to adjust to a new system and there were some growing pains. But 18 different players started at least one game on the defensive side of the ball."
He added, " Ryan McCullough had 1,088 yards rushing, averaging almost 10 yards per carry. He was second in the league in rushing and in scoring with 126 points. He set the single game rushing record at Lisbon with 349 yards in his final game. In addition, Abe Simms set a school record with 185 tackles from his inside linebacker position."
