(Our leading tackler with 85 tackles, 52 first hits, 8 tackles for loss, 6 QB sacks (missed 3 games with ankle injury and still produced these numbers). Being recruited by D-2 and D-3 schools. Big hitter, opponents had to account for him as a run stopper and primary blitzer. First team all MVAL Chesapeake)

Luke averaged 17.3 yards per catch. Also had 69 rushes for 280 yards and 4 touchdowns. Luke's versatility and big play capability make a good candidate for player of the year.

Defensive Player of the Year Cory Anderlik-LB-Sr.-Century
