The Pope John Lions will open their 58th football season on Friday night when they travel to Wayne to face DePaul. The Lions will also begin their fourth season in the North Jersey Super Football Conference United White Division with the Spartans, who have won the division title every year since its inception in 2016.

Pope John is coming off a 2-9 season, its first losing season since 1994-95 and its first season with two wins or less since 1966-67. However, one of those wins was a 33-12 victory over St. John Vianney in the Non- Public, Group 3 first round. The playoff victory put the Lions in the Non-Public, Group 3 semifinals for the third straight year, but they lost in that round to eventual state champion Red Bank Catholic, 27-0.

The Lions’ offense will be led by sophomore quarterback Peter Delaportas, who threw for 365 yards in six games of action last year. He will be protected by five senior offensive linemen, including four returning starters in David Heath, Michael Maglio, Jake Sledge, and Ethan Doumbe.

The Lions’ defense will be led by senior linebacker Mike DeNucci, who is coming off a strong junior campaign in which he made 84 tackles, 6 1/2 sacks, five forced fumbles and two interceptions. The Lions will also have senior tackle Jasmir Taylor, senior defensive back Connor Milks and junior defensive back Sean Brennan heading the defense.

Pope John will be looking to win its first game against DePaul since 1997 after coming up short in its last six attempts. The closest the Lions came to beating DePaul during this stretch was in 2016, when they lost, 23-20, in the Non-Public, Group 3 semifinals.

Since 2012, the Lions have had 65 players go on to play college football. Among this 65-man group, 2014 graduates Noah Brown and Ryan Izzo have gone on to be drafted to play in the National Football League after enjoying standout careers at Pope John and at their respective NCAA Division I universities. Brown is in his third year with the Dallas Cowboys after being picked in the seventh round by them in the 2017 NFL Draft. Following a three-year ca-reer at Ohio State University, Brown became Pope John’s first graduate to play in the NFL, seeing time in 13 games with the five-time Super Bowl champion Cowboys and making four receptions for 33 yards while playing 279 total snaps in 2017. Last year, Brown improved by making seven receptions for 73 yards in 10 games, with two of those catches coming in the Cowboys’ two playoff games against the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. Izzo is the second Pope John graduate to be on an NFL roster after being drafted in the seventh round by the New England Patriots in April 2018. Af-ter a three-year career at Florida State University, Izzo earned a Super Bowl ring with the Patriots despite being on the injured reserve list for the entire 2018 season. This year, Izzo is projected to be one of the top two tight ends for the Patriots to open the season after playing the most snaps of any Patriot tight end in the preseason. While Brown and Izzo are competing at the highest level of football, the Lions currently have 36 alums playing in college. They are: Stephen Adams (Johns Hopkins University), Nick Bello (Assumption College), Jake Brown (Harvard University), Ireland Burke (Boston College), Jhadir Charles (Mon-mouth University), John Cotis (Ithaca College), Zachary Cluett (Castleton University), Samuel Darrell (Susquehanna University), Matt Dengler (Ford-ham University), Ryan Dengler (Lafayette College), Nick DeNucci (Boston College), Nick DeSenzo (Muhlenberg College), Nick Esposito (Catholic University), Tim Fitzpatrick (Muhlenberg College), Ryan Greenhagen (Fordham University), Artis Hemmingway (University of Delaware), Sam Howson (Rutgers University), Ty Hranicka (Lafayette College), Niko Hron-cich (Montclair State University), Jacob Huhn (University of Richmond), Tajimier Jones (University of Massachusetts Amherst), Terrance Jones (Idaho State University), Jason Miller (Towson University), Trevor Moore (Catholic University), Louis Montana (University of Richmond), Jack Morelli (Cath-olic University), Aidan Murray (University of Richmond), Andrew Nieves (Susquehanna University), Austin Pedersen (Kutztown University), Gio Potente (Fordham University), Joe Quitadamo (Stonehill College), Sekayi Rudolph (Marist College), Jack Ryan (Wesleyan University), Chris Sabo (Merrimack College), Dalyn Wade-Perry (Stanford University), and Mateo Zappata (Marist College).

CARLSON/POPE JOHN STATE RESULTS

Brian Carlson was named the sixth head coach in the history of the Pope John XXIII Regional High School/Our Lady of the Lake football program on April 1, 2011. Since superseding the legendary Vic Paternostro, who led the Lions to 20 state championships in 43 seasons, Carlson has been putting his stamp on the program. Entering his ninth season this year, Carlson has guided the Lions to a 48-34 record, three NJAC American Division titles and a Non-Public, Group 3 championship game appearance in 2013. In 2014, Carlson helped the Lions elevate the program by having them face some of the best teams in the state in Paramus Catholic and DePaul. After two years of only having these two powerhouses on a schedule primarily filled with public schools from Sussex and Morris counties, the Lions started playing an exclusive non-public school schedule that featured some of the top private schools in the Northeast. Now, the Lions play and scrimmage natonally-known teams such as Bergen Catholic, Paramus Catholic, St. Joseph-Montvale, Don Bosco Prep, DePaul, St. Peter’s Prep, St. John’s College High School (Washington, D.C.), Archbishop Wood (Pa.), and Malvern Prep (Pa.) on an annual basis. Off the field, Carlson helped the Lions excel in the classroom and in the community. Academically, 53 Lions have gone on to continue their academic and athletic careers at the NCAA level. This fall, 20 members from the Class of 2018 will be playing on the college gridiron, with 14 of them competing at the NCAA D-I or Division II level. The Class of 2018 also earned over $2 million in athletic and Merit scholarships. In addition, the Lions finished the 2017-18 school year with a combined 3.05 GPA. Moreover, 38 percent of the team (out of 95 players) was recognized for Academic Achievement (either Distinguished Honors, 1st Honors or 2nd Honors). In the community, the Lions have volunteered their time to local charities and organizations, such as SCARC and senior citizen homes. Another big achievement of Carlson’s at Pope John was forming the Jr Lions Athletics Program — a program that offers six sports to boys and girls in grades K-8 who attend Pope John High School, Pope John Middle School and Reverend George A. Brown Memorial School while modeling them after the way Pope John runs its varsity squads. Carlson laid the groundwork for the program by using the vision he has for the football team as the “template.” The football team is run by faith-based principles, is committed to the highest academic standards, and thrives on competition, otherwise known as “Faith, Family, Football.” The program has taken off since its inception in 2017, as it has over 400 students competing, including over 200 for football. Before coming to Pope John, Carlson spent the 2010 season as the linebackers coach at Don Bosco Prep and was previously the head coach of Kean Univer-sity’s football program for eight seasons from 1992-99. During his tenure, he helped the school win a NJAC co-championship and the ECAC South Bowl championship. A native of Saddle Brook, Carlson is a 1979 graduate of Paramus Catholic and a 1983 graduate of Montclair State University, where he played as a line-backer/defensive end for four years and was captain of the team as a senior. He earned his BS degree in Economics. He was also the CEO of Parisi Sports Inc., a posiion he held for over 10 years. In addition to coaching, Carlson is a business teacher at Pope John and has served as the department’s chair for the last four years. He lives in Sparta with his wife, Donna and their two children Brendan and Kate.

THE SERIES VS. DePAUL

LAST MEETING In a much anticipated season opener, the Pope John Lions had a tough time against DePaul, as the defending Non-Public, Group 3 champion Spartans handed the Lions a 48-7 defeat at Pope John XXIII Regional High School. The Lions could not get any rhythm going on offense, as they only had 134 total yards against the Spartans and were forced to punt eight times. The lone bright spot offensively in the game took place in the third quarter, when senior wide receiver Ryan Dengler hauled in a 74-yard touchdown reception from freshman quarterback Peter Delaportas, who filled in for starter Niko Hroncich after the senior signal caller left the game with an injury. On defense, the Lions had a hard time stopping the Spartans, as they allowed 400 total yards, Despite the amount of points and yardage allowed, the Lions had some solid performances from junior safety Mike DeNucci (team-high 10 tackles), senior linebacker Chris Sabo (seven tackles) and senior defensive lineman Ireland Burke (three tackles for loss).

TEAM STATISTICS GAME LEADERS

The Lions and DePaul have played each other 12 times dating back to 1984, with DePaul leading the series at 7-5. The Lions practically owned the first six meetings — all of which took place in the state playoffs — against the Spar-tans, going 5-1 against them. In the first meeting, the Lions posted a 21-7 victory over the Spartans in the Parochial B North playoffs. The win put the Lions in the Parochial B North championship game for the sixth year in a row and ninth time overall in program history. The second meeting took place in the 1988 Parochial North B championship game, and the Lions came out on top, 12-7, to claim their third state title in a row and 10th overall in school history. Two years later, the Lions met the Spartans in the Parochial North B title game again and post-ed a 21-14 win to capture their fifth consecutive state title and 12th overall. Then in 1992, the Lions suffered their first loss to the Spartans, as they fell, 28-21, in the Parochial B North title game. The loss snapped the Lions’ state title streak at six in a row. Then in 1996 and 1997, the Lions picked up two straight victories, both of which came in the Parochial, Group 2 championship game. In 1996, the Lions pulled out a 14-7 win to collect their 16th state title and cap their eighth unbeaten season in school history. In 1997, the Lions rolled past the Spartans, 44-13, to win their third state title in a row and 17th overall. However, the Spartans took control of the series by winning the last six meetings. In 2014, they renewed their rivalry after a 16-year hia-tus and the Spartans rolled to a 49-14 win. Over the four three seasons, the Spartans posted victories of 37-0, 26-14, 23-20, 35-0, and 48-7, with the 23-20 victory coming in the Non-Public, Group 3 semifinals in 2016.

2018 POPE JOHN XXIII HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SEASON HIGHLIGHTS The Lions suffered their first losing season since 1994-95 and their first season with two wins or less since 1966-67 by going 2-9 on the gridiron. However, one of those wins was a 33-12 victory over St. John Vianney in the Non-Public, Group 3 first round. The playoff victory put the Lions in the Non-Public, Group 3 semifinals for the third straight year, but they lost in that round to eventual state champion Red Bank Catholic, 27-0. Along with the win over St. John Vianney, the Lions also beat Seton Hall Prep, 30-20, at Seton Hall Prep in their final regular season game and division game of the season. The win over the Pirates allowed them to finish third in the North Jersey Super Football Conference United White Division with a 1-2 record. Before these two wins, the Lions lost eight straight games to begin the season — a losing streak that had never been seen before in the 57-year history of Pope John football. The Lions lost their season opener to DePaul, then dropped two close games to Paramus Catholic and Archbishop Wood, of Warminster, Pa., respectively. Unfortnately, the losses kept piling up, as they fell to St. Joseph of Montvale, Don Bosco Prep, Delbarton, Bergen Catholic, and St. Peter’s Prep, respectively. The closest they came to breaking the losing streak was against Bergen Catholic, which they lost, 14-6, despite trailing by only

one point through almost three quarters. Despite the lack of wins, the Lions saw 15 players earn All-NJSFC United White Division First Team, Second Team or Honorable Mention honors and 13 players continue to their academic and athletic careers at the NCAA level.
