Outlook

The 2010 version of the Mooney Cardinals might be a rebuilding year. Or, rather a reloading year. The defending Division III state champions lost 17 starters from last year’s team to graduation. The five returning starters – three on defense and a pair on offense – will need to step up, as senior leadership is expected to be a strength. All five starters are seniors. They are tight ends Nick Gemma and Nick Hargate, and defensive linemen Clarence Scott, Mike Rossi and Chris DeChellis. But a lack of returning starters is an issue, head coach P.J. Fecko said. There are no returning offensive linemen, quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, linebackers or defensive backs. Coming off a state championship run and an undefeated season, the Cardinals already had a target on their backs. But now that there is youth and relative inexperience in the starting lineup, teams will be gunning for them.

Returning Lettermen

Charlie Brown, Carmen Leonelli, Roosevelt Griffin, Kevin McGuire, Nick Gemma, Nick Hargate, Chris DeChellis, Mike Rossi, Austin Trgovcich, Clarence Scott, Pat Kiraly.
