Outlook:
“The Ghosts loss a lot of starters from the 2009 squad, but have a core group of that have worked extremely hard to replace those losses. Julien Ireland has rushed for 2511 and 24 TD’s in his career at Abington (2008 & 2009). Ireland will move to QB where he will carry the load even more this year. The defense is lead by three returning starters - John Konway, Myles Grasty, and Tom Kennedy. 
“The Seniors on the 2010 team have been to the District One Playoff’s and competed for a National Conference Championship in their sophomore and junior years; their goals are to win the National Conference and go far in the playoffs.”
