Football waves goodbye to a 'special group'
"This year's seniors are a very special group," Head Coach Steve Briggs said. "The work ethic they have had is extremely contagious. They are a very close group probably because most of them have been actively contributing since their freshman year." Paveletz is the leading rusher in school history at running back and is a two-time all-Liberty League selection. He is an All-America candidate and quad-captain of the team. Paveletz is a finance major from Warrior Run who attended Hanover Area High School. Majors is a quad-captain at linebacker who Briggs' describes as a "true leader." So far this season he leads the team in total tackles with 42. He is an entrepreneurship major from Harrisburg who attended Harrisburg High School. Champney is an All-America candidate who has started all four years on the offensive line. He was a two-time all-Liberty League selection and a 2008 D3football.com all-East Region player. Champney is also a quad-captain majoring in broadcasting from Victor, N.Y., who attended Victor High School. Johnsen is a returning starter and quad-captain who plays defensive end. A leader of the defense, Johnsen leads the league with 7.5 sacks. He is an English major from Malvern who attended Great Valley High School. "The theme the four captains have gravitated towards this year is to play harder each week and to play together. They take care of the little things better than the teams ahead of them, whether in the weight room, in the classroom and certainly on the field. The captains have set a standard and the team has tried to keep that standard," Briggs said. Young has been a top performer at split end since his freshman year. He is a big, athletic target who possesses great speed. With significant depth this season as split end, Young has been asked to transition from offense to defense and has done so by starting every game at cornerback. Young is a marketing major from Pittsburgh who attended Shady Side Academy. Howell is a split end who can play a number of positions and is one of the top athletes on the team. Briggs describes Howell as a "playmaker." Howell is a psychology major from North Braddock who attended Woodland Hills High School. Simpson is a versatile defensive back who has played running back, cornerback, free safety and strong safety since his freshman year. He also holds three indoor school sprinting records for the track and field team. Simpson is a mass communications major from North Braddock who attended Woodland Hills High School. Moran is a split end from Pottsville described as one of the best receivers, punt returners and kick returners in the league. Moran leads the team with 30 receptions and 389 receiving yards. He is a sociology major who attended Pottsville High School. Buonocore is a fullback who is also a leader on special teams, majoring in communications. He is from Hillsdale, N.J. and attended Pascack Valley High School. Like Young, McIntosh made the switch to defense this season, moving to defensive back from running back. He is fifth on the team in total tackles with 33. McIntosh is an economics major from Avondale who attended Avon Grove High School. McDonough is the leader of the defensive line and majoring in entrepreneurship. His 3.5 sacks are seventh most in the league. He is from Kingston and attended Bishop Hoban High School. Evans is an offensive lineman who has been hampered by injury, but has a terrific work ethic and adds to the competitive environment of the team.
