Champion (Div. IV)

Champion (Div. IV)

Head Coach: John Gibson, 13th year

Coaching Staff: John Grabowski, Marcus Kubancsek, Rick Von Bergen, Corey Pate, Eric Elmore, Todd Burch, Arne Salo, Bryant Wilson, Chris Monteneri.

Offensive/defensive Formations: Multiple I on offense, Split four on defense

Outlook: Gibson says the Golden Flashes have more returning starters than in recent seasons, “which makes us optimistic. There's good depth at receiver led by senior Markel Vaughn, a proven quarterback in senior Joe Cvengros and a tailback in senior Kris Wildman.” The Flashes also have eight starters returning on defense. Gibson said replacing graduates on the offensive line and the overall kicking game are chief concerns.

Returning Lettermen: Ferry, Cvengros, Hauser, Halfast, Bernhard, Von Bergen, D'Andrea, Smith, Cage, Manzarek, Bullen, Giammarco, Kinkead, Baker, Vaughn, Thomas, Mamula.
