COACH ANGELO SCIANDRA’S SCOUTING REPORT

“You don’t replace guys like Reggie Garner and Jackie Feggans. The other guys have to step up — it’s their turn now. Sherman (Nelson) is probably going to play the slot. Rob Davis is probably going to play tailback, him and Jabari Gordon and sophomores. ... Shaq (Shaquille Dudley) is turning out to be a pretty good fullback. He’ll be back at middle linebacker, too. ... Tyler Phillips should have been all-Western New York last year, nobody can block him. He and Darius Davis are going to be our leaders on the lines. ... Wayne Sanford is only a sophomore. He could develop into one of the best linemen to ever come through this school. ... We think we have the best quarterback in the area in Angelo (Sciandra). ... It’s tough for me to say how talented we are because I haven’t had a chance to see everyone yet.”

— Jay Skurski
