This Year's Outlook
McQuaid won its second consecutive S5-A title last year and senior Donny Glavin took 3rd at States and then went on to qualify for NXN Nationals and finish 41st.  Now with Glavin gone, it is a trio of Joey Doerr, Aiden Blake, and Nick Caterisano will be leading the quest for a third straight S5-A title, but a lot of help is needed for a group that seems to have just seniors among the top returners.
