The Fordson High School Varsity Football team finished with an amazing 8-1 regular season record after gaining only one starter back, Mike laquaniello, from last season. They finished in second place in the always tough Wolverine A Conference, behind Trenton, which was the only team to beat the Tractors in regular season play. This year's offense consisted of a powerful ground attack as well as an effective air attack. Our senior starting backs included: Kirk Rydzik, F8, Dan Herman, HB, and Sam Sareini, FB. Our senior starting receivers included: Matt Bis, WR, Dave Crysler, WR, Eric Johnson TE, and Andy Salagan, TE. Everything was directed of course by Senior QB and co- captain, Mike laquaniello. Our defensive and offensive line improved dramatically and controlled the trenches for most of the season. This year's defensive line was one of the biggest and fastest in Fordson Football history: senior powerhouse and co-captain, Scott Lewis, Junior Hugeman Mike Kostovski, Junior Rob Slavin and Senior Gino Sesssa. Fordson is very proud of yet another winning football team. Even though they lost their pre-regional game to Catholic Central 7-2, they have nothing to be ashamed of. They not only destroyed thier competitors 52-0 on Home- coming, but they had an All-Stater in Mike laquaniello.
