The Notre Dame Jugglers started the season well with a win vs Carson Graham. But the Jugglers followed up the win with a loss in a game they should've won vs Timberline 14-17. As a result, the team finished the regular season with a 2-3 record. Tied with Carson Graham for 3rd and the last playoff spot, tie-breaker rules went in Carson Graham's favor, effectively ending the Juggler's season. No doubt, a difficult way to see their season end. The team was led offensively by Seniors QB Antonio Sorace, RB Alex Maslove and WR Alan Hogan. Defensively, Sophmore standout S Anthony Rasotto led the teams in tackles.

Despite a disappointing finish last year and the graduation of Seniors Sorace, Maslove and Hogan, there is much optimism for 05/06. The JV team finished 4-2 and lost to a good Centennial team in the playoffs. QB/S CJ Brassington, FB/LB Anthony Rasotto, and RB/LB Jason Herrera played on both the Varsity and JV teams. Brassington had a fantastic year passing in JV and ranked among the top 3 QBs, WR Nathanial D'Oliveria was the top receiver in JV. LB Rasotto was among the leaders in tackles in both Varsity and JV.

With the exception of Vancouver College who will be dominate the Conference, the 2nd and 3rd spots are wide open for the 3 teams (Timberline, Handsworth, and the Jugglers) will contend for. Depending on the outcome of the head-to-head matchups of those 3 teams, the Jugglers can end up anywhere from 4-1 to 2-3. The exhibition games will be a good measure of whether this young team is a contender.


Prognosis: 3-2 (Slightly better than Handsworth right now)
Key Games: Week 5, ND vs Handsworth; Week 6, ND vs Timberline
Top Offensive Players: QB CJ Brassington, RB Carlo Graziano, WR Nathanial D'Oliveria
Top Defensive Players: LB Anthony Rasotto, LB Jason Herrera
