Warwick, NY. Homecoming was extra special this year as the 1984 Championship Football Team was recognized as part of the Homecoming Celebration. The 1984 Team overcame many obstacles including a 1 – 2 start before winning 7 straight and the Orange County League Championship under the direction of Head Coach John Garcia and his staff of George St. Lawrence, Bob DeFrancicsco, Tom Folino and Joe Zuk.
The Championship season was highlighted by wins over Port Jervis, Goshen and the County Championship at Middletown over a tough Pine Bush Team. Great to see the boys back on campus with their jerseys on. Special Thanks to Jack Pennings and Pennings Orchards for hosting the crew after the game. Go Wildcats!
1984 Team in alphabetical order: Dorian Brandt, Rich Beattie, Matt Cabrera, Frank Corkum, Jeff Cox, Mike Forman, Jim Gannon, Joe Green, Tom Hand, Tom Harrison, John Hegarty, Rich Kennedy, Greg Large, Mike LeDuc, Bill Lemin, Alan Mannes, Steve Mannes, Jon Mattheson, Scott Mazzella, Tom McManus, Bruce Miller, Gene Miller, Scott Miller, Mike Palone, Fernando Quiroz, Pat Rice, Brian Ripley, George Rohreberg, Greg Sirico, John Sly, Steve Smith, Brian Thibert, Brian Turner, Gino Velez, Kevin Williams and Brian Wright.
