2010 notes: Though McCabe said he "lost a great senior class," another solid bunch is waiting in the wings, led by second-team all-state OL Reue, also a standout DL (28 tackles, 4 sacks), and RB Seeker (180-1,249, 8 TDs), an all-state runner. LB Carlton (83 tackles, 12 TFL) earned all-state and is an "explosive, great closer," McCabe said.
