Even without talented receiver Monty Madaris (Michigan State), Moeller is going to be loaded on offense, with three-year starter
Spencer Iacovone back behind center. He’ll be joined in the backfield by returning running back
Keith Watkins, who boasts several BCS offers. The offensive line, which also features a coveted recruit in
Alex Gall, returns three starters. In Cincinnati’s brutal Greater Catholic League, that type of returning talent is rare.
Question marks: There will likely be some growing pains on defense. Not only does the unit have to replace seven starters, but it will do so under a new defensive coordinator: former Bengals Director of Player Personnel Jim Lippincott. A brutal schedule, including a rematch with Trinity (Louisville, Ky.), awaits. The cupboard is now bare, however, as
Shane Jones will be a force at linebacker.
Outlook: Moeller started 7-0 last season before losing four of its final six games, including a season-ending loss to St. Xavier in the Region IV finals. This team will thrive offensively, but will only go as far as its defense will take it. If its defense can slow the run, it could be a very, very good team. With the return of Lippinncott, who helped coach Moeller from 1981 to 1992, there is certainly a sense that this could be the team to restore Big Moe to the glory of years past.
