Daily Herald Staff Report

The St. Edward football team placed five players on the Suburban Christian Conference Gold Division all-conference team, Green Wave coach Mike Rolando reported Tuesday.

"Five on the all-conference team is great for us," said Rolando, whose team went 6-4 and made the program's first playoff appearance since 2003. "We've had three before so getting five this year is outstanding."

The top honor for the Green Wave went to senior defensive end Dan Duffy, who was named the conference's defensive player of the year.

"That's just outstanding for Dan and for our program," Rolando said.

Also named all-conference for the Green Wave were senior outside linebacker Nathan Gaige, senior guard/middle linebacker Shane Finnane, senior running back David Hoebbel, and senior fullback/linebacker Jordan Torres.

St. Edward was also awarded the league's sportsmanship award.
