Nickname: Trojans.
Class: 3A.
Sectional: 22.
Last year's record: 14-1 overall, Class 3A state champs.
Coach: Vince Lorenzano (51-8 at Chatard, 110-75 overall).
Assistant coaches: Chris Toner, Jim Pappas, Charlie Vannice, Glenn Bill, Nate Vannice, Kevin Jennings, Kevin Shine, Ken Harden.
Returning starters on offense: 4.
Returning starters on defense: 7.
Top returnee to watch: Zach Martin. The junior defensive end (6-5, 265) is someone who is strong, swift and smart. "He's one of those guys who comes along once every five or six years," Lorenzano said.
Top prospect to watch: Ari Pappas. The sophomore running back (5-11, 185) is a player with good speed and toughness. He figures to be a contributor in the backfield.
Expected team strengths: The defense, led by Martin, noseguard Graham Wilkerson (6-0, 210) and linebackers Mike Dum (6-2, 205) and John Dury (6-2, 215), should be a cornerstone. Returning quarterback Rob Doyle (6-0, 195) completed 66-of-121 passes for 1,115 yards and 15 TDs, so the offense may open up some to take advantage of his ability.

Program's all-time leading passer: Bill Lynch (1969-71), 4,257 yards.
