Season Outlook
Central Catholic returns 13 starters from the team that dethroned North Allegheny last year. The Vikings bring back six starters on offense and seven on defense. We should find out just how good this team is right off the bat as they face Philly powerhouse La Salle.

“Last year has nothing to do with this year. We didn’t win our last football game. We need to worry about taking it one day at a time and growing as a football team.”  said Head Coach Ryan Lehmeier “Looking forward to competing this season and building our program”.
