Very impressive finish for Tallmadge. Very tough environment to plan and you did yourself proud. Excellent season
 
I think Tallmadge might be the team to beat in The Suburban American Conference next year. At the very least they should be in legitimate contention.
 
Here are Tallmadge's stats with their grade:

Tallmadge brings back:
Offense:
- Starting QB (Hurst)
- Two of their top 4 Wide Receivers including one that should be all-state (Dixon and Yacobucci)
- Two of their 3 running backs (Hopkins and Ahwajee)
- Three offensive lineman that started most of the season. (McCullough, Robinson, and Yasin)
Losing...2-3 offensive lineman, two very good WRs, and the leading RB (309 yards)
Defense:
- Most of their defensive line (Alot of players rotated)
- Three linebackers (Gromley, Hopkins and Cuva - three leading tacklers)
- One corner (Spano)
Losing...one corner, safety, linebacker, defensive end.
Special Teams:
- 1 kicker (had two split time this season)
- 1 punter
- 2 kick returners
- 1 punt returner

These aren't all exact because Tallmadge had injuries and depth at many of the positions. They really will fill just about every position next year with someone that played alot of snaps. Mason Dexter (WR/CB) and Ty Hederson (WR/S) are the two Seniors that were two-way starters.

Tallmadge's Freshmen team was excellent this year and will certainly fill some open positions with starters or depth.
