LOWELLVILLE ROCKETS
LOWELLVILLE (Div. VI)
Head Coach: Mike Palumbo, first year
Coaching Staff: Bill Schiraldi, Brian Wharry, Andrew Mamula, Tom Collins, Nate Smith, Bill Wharry Sr., Dennis Hynes.
Offensive/defensive Formations: Wishbone offense/4-4 defense
Outlook: Although Mike Palumbo doesn't have experience as a head coach, he's no stranger to the Rockets, having quarterbacked the 2002 team to the Inter-County League title. Palumbo takes over an experienced Rocket team that many felt underachieved last season in finishing 2-8. Seven starters return on each side of the ball and 16 lettermen are back. Whether or not they compete for the league crown, the Rockets should be much improved.
