2025 Schedule
| Season Outlook |
| “Highlights of 2024: (Memorable moments and accomplishments of 2024) Senior class leaves with 24 wins in 3 years (3rd most in MNHS history for 3-year period, Brian Box, 2nd team All state (he is going to Cornell for lax), Box finished 3rd all-time in all-purpose yards and TDS, and missed half his senior year due to an injury. 3-year starters Lou DILUZIO, Eric Janda, and Brett Cowan (Ursinus) graduate. Luke Volpi (Nova) anchored the OL with Cj Hasson (Stevenson) , Bobby Knapp LB (Williamson) Jude Jelus completed 62% of his passes and will play lax in college. Luke Moyer DE, Ryan D’ambrosio WR, Nate Fimple OL, and Ryder Palubinski (K) will be hard to replace as well. Looking ahead to 2025: (Key players returning) Brett Wolski returns with over 2,00 rushing yards and 29 tds as well as DB/LB. Aidin Curran is back at LB and H back who led the team in tackles. Matt Hopson will anchor the OL. Sean Grogan, LB/TE/ Nick Delvecchio WR/DB and Jack Dean WR/DB are back on both sides of the ball. We have a lot of work ahead of us to try to replace that senior class that graduated. Kyan Chisnall is back as a special teamer, which is huge. Replacing 15 of 22 starters will be a challenge.”Chris Gicking |
