2012 Season Motto: 
New Look, New Challenge...Reloading

After the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written and after you are back in the quiet of your room and the championship ring has been placed on the dresser and all the pomp and fanfare has faded, the enduring things that are left are:   the dedication to excellence, the dedication to victory, and the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live.     – Vince Lombardi

10-time Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 3 Champions (1982 , 1983, 1998, 2005-2011)

6-Time District 3 AA Champions

2009 and 2011 AA STATE CHAMPIONS
