COACHING STAFF: Dan Reardon, head coach (8th year, 68-23). Assistants: Larry Kempe, John DeSantis, Michael Frasco, Kevin Cylar, Lee DeJacimo, Dom Cutrone, Ryan Kelly, Matt Green, Brian Palmer, Mike Bartos.
PLAYOFF HISTORY: 16 years, 34-12. Last appearance, 2010 (Division V State Champions).
OUTLOOK: The defending Division V state champions return five starters on offense and six on defense, but they will surely miss the 2010 Ohio Mr. Football Award winner Akise Teague, who graduated and will play for the University of Cincinnati this fall. Division V All-District honorable mention nominee Jesse Curry returns to lead the defense. The Irish will return plenty of players that gained meaningful game experience in 2010.
SCRIMMAGES
Aug. 9: vs. Padua Franciscan, 10 a.m.
Aug. 18: at Canton GlenOak, 6 p.m.
QUOTE from the COACH
“I am very excited about our secondary and linebackers. We return a lot of experience and also have some good, young players ready to step up in those spots.”
