Training Camp Insider: Catholic Central
Patrick Sheehan and Devon Halloran won’t have a lot of company on Senior Night. They are the only two seniors on Catholic Central’s football team in 2009.
“Me and Pat have some big roles to fill,” said Halloran, an offensive lineman and linebacker. “We have to step up and be senior leaders.”
Just two years ago, the Irish had 14 seniors, and that team won the regional championship.
“It hasn’t been the same since in terms of experience,” coach Steve DeWitt said, “so we’re trying to rebuild that experience.”
Though they are a small class, Sheehan and Halloran have a lot to brag about. In their first three seasons, the Irish have posted a total record of 31-7 (10-2, 13-1, 8-4). The class that graduated in 2006 went 36-12 in their four seasons.
Sheehan, a wide receiver and safety, has been contributing since his freshman season. He kicked a 26-yard field goal with 12 seconds left to beat Sidney Lehman Catholic in the first round of the playoffs in 2006.
Speaking of playoff success, the Irish’s top player from the 2007 regional champion team, Brian Wagner, should see his first collegiate action this season. Wagner redshirted last season as a freshman at the University of Akron. Here’s a link to his bio on Akron’s Web site.
