Its a shame that they didn’t include a Kicker on the Division 1 team. There were three very deserving kids. Kyle Pulek 4 yr starter at Cheshire w/ 4 FG this year and 12 FG & 98 x-pts for his career, Ryan Bell Hand w/ 4 FG this season and Ed Groth Shelton w/ 4 FG this year.
Vallie and Ecke over Foye???!!!
Have to agree with Jobber. Especically how well Foye played against top-ranked Masuk
First off, Thanks to all the Players Coaches and Parents for all the time and effort put into the season!
I did not comment on the All State and Class L selections, but could not let the SCC go without questioning a couple of missing players.
QB – Foye, like many Hand QB’s, had to wait to his senior year to ge his shot at leading the team. Minimal notice before the year started so could see him not garnering pre-season notice. BUT, he leads the team past Ecke in Cheshire game, past Cochran, past Milano, etc. Good stats for those folks too. Time to recognize his play!
D-Line – Gerson of Hand. Led team with sacks and pressures. Overshadowed by DeMichele, but a top player as well.
D-II – Nault of Guilford -I would fins a home for him somewhere as he was Guilfords do everything player. QB throwing and running, D-Back with multiple shoestring tackles, and both Punter and Place-Kicker.
