This was a great opportunity for some rising sophs and juniors to make their cases for starting positions or serious playing time. A good number of starters kept out due to recovery from surgery this winter and cautionary steps. Spadola kept out of the scrimmage, but made some very nice catches in skeleton drills. He has such a grace that makes his routes look effortless. Jamal Haggins, TE, put on a nice show that makes one wonder if we could be seeing another Bergen coming. A 'break out' season by him will really open up matters for the WRs. Kurfis made some very nice grabs and looks to be the 'new' Drwal. Soph Parris got a lot of time.
The QBs will continue to battle. No one showed enough to threaten Colvin's position as number one. Colvin was also elected one of the team captains, so that will make it even tougher for any of the other four to replace. Bialkowski seems to throw a purer pass, but erratic. Poutier seems to be the most accurate, but is somewhat short (listed at 6'--but could be generous). Colvin also provides a nice run option.McHale's mechanics are too slow. Visconti--rising soph. has potential.
Sherman looked strong and rising soph Sodeke looked strong and junior Haupt opened some eyes with some nice runs. Barket kept out due to last year's broken ankle. He will likely be the starter, but nice to see the depth. Barket also received the annual Jim Gum Scholarship
Soph RT Moore got a lot of time and looked like he could be a force in the future.
Long snapping duties looked to be in very capable hands with Ruley. However the P/K situation is basically unchanged. Divers seems to have strengthened his leg, as has Peery. But consistency is still an issue. More competition on the way with Freshman Austin Devine from Bergen Catholic.
Defense looked good. Especially the secondary. Gabe Johnson had two picks for TDs. All four look very strong and I see an aggressive, confident streak. LBs are young but showed good quickness. Muhammad's name called a number of times. NT Chagani is also going to be a force. Very strong. Also one of the defensive captains.
Other Captains are Spadola on offense and Safety O'Brien on defense. Nice crowd on a warm cloudy day at Goodman. The field looked great.
