The senior class at Old Forge feels like they have unfinished business. Despite winning the division title last season, they fell in the district championship game which also happened in 2018. The Blue Devils could go far in 2020.

John Greenfield and David Dando will provide depth at running back. Michael DiGregorio is one of the most dangerous receivers in the LFC and will be joined by Ethan Tallo as the other starter. Casey Holzman, Nick Dodge and Keegan Barbetti will also see time. Zack Weaver returns at tight end.
The line has some expereince and will be comprised with Nick Rasmus, Cyllel Rose, Louis Castaldi, Jaydn Rose and Demetrius Dolinish, Santino Krappa will provide depth.
Starting on the defensive line is Rasmus, Weaver, Castaldi and Jaydn Rose. Cyllel Rose will be the primary backup. Colin Holzman, Deitz, Spindler and Greenfield will be the starters at linebackers. Teddy Chuta will also be in the mix. DiGregorio and Mario Somony will man the corners while Casey Holzman will start at saftey.
