Head coach Rich Ferris said Camacho was deserving of this award for his offensive and defensive efforts on the field.

“I was very happy with the effort given this season,” said Ferris of his first year as head coach. “They picked up well what I wanted them to do.”
Ferris plans to continue to build the program with returning athletes and new players.
“We need to increase our numbers,” he said. “We need to get our kids in the weight room (so) we can get the most of out them and they can be the best they can be.”
The Bulldogs will lose 10 seniors, but Ferris said there is strong leadership in the junior class.
“When you talk about leaders, it’s those kids that will get others in the weight room, at practices and at two-a-days,” he explained.
