Last season Carmel fielded a monster team, and it’s really amazing they did so well this season given all their graduation loses! Incidentally, I’m pretty familiar with Section One / Class AA high school football, and I maintain that last year’s Carmel team was the best I had seen since the 2004 New Rochelle team (with Ray Rice, Courtney Greene, Fred Campbell, Greg McDermott, GlenRoy Lee, et. al.) Perhaps Carmel was even better!
I read about it! Sounds pretty crazy!!!
