Coaches are high on both juniors and for Savage, this will be his first year as a starter while Tempone returns and should be a top threat. The Hornets have and will continue to be a run-first team but this combination may find them putting the ball up a bit more. At this time it does not appear there will be one player responsible for that type of yardage but rather a committee that includes Tim Haggerty, A.J. Jaden Gallo put together back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with his 1,401 last year, which was the fifth highest total in the Shore Conference.

While on the subject of starting, Holmdel will open with Ocean and then face St. This year’s team may be young and inexperienced in places but Rainess says they are a “very together group on and off the field”, which is a good place to start.
He has done so by getting players to believe in themselves and knowing what it takes to have success. Rainess, now in his seventh season at Holmdel, has done a superb job of turning around a program that went from without a winning record from 2008 through 2015. Junior Connor Mendini returns to handle both the kicking and punting duties. The defensive backfield is loaded with experience as Taskier, Collyer, and junior Will Gilfillan were all starters and joining them will be Tempone which makes for a solid unit.
Inside will be defensive tackles Evan Savarese (5’9, 220 Soph.) and Chris Hayduk (5’10, 205 Sr.). There will be many new faces up front although Dietz returns and will line up at one end spot along with senior Jack Podesta, who did see plenty of action in 2021. The other projected starting linebackers are also first-time starters in seniors John Steele and Dylan Lagana. He has graduated and filling his inside spot will likely be junior Connor Fields. The leader of the defense the last two years was linebacker Thomas Sardo, an SSN Second Team All-Shore selection last season and a First Team All-Shore selection as a junior. Back at one tackle spot is junior Dante Calcaterra (6’1, 240) while promising junior Nick Bachman (6’3, 255) will be the other tackle and the only new starter. Senior Ryan Hammer (5’8, 200) returns at center along with guards Marc Dietz (5’10, 240 Sr.) and Casey Brew (5’10, 210 Jr.). Also looking to catch passes are juniors Brandon Rooney and Malik Taskier and senior Trey Tulenko along with junior tight end Andrew Piscatelli. The new starting quarterback is junior Brayden Savage and while Holmdel has been known as a running team under head coach Jeff Rainess, Savage will likely have plenty of opportunities to team up with talented senior receiver Matt Tempone. Todisco and Anthony Seddeducate in Holmdel's split-back veer option attack. While both have been lost to graduation, four of the five starters on the offensive line return and will hopefully pave the way for players like senior Tim Haggerty and juniors A.J. The bright spot was the production of SSN All-Shore running back Jaden Gallo and Luke Dupont, who combined for over 2,000 yards on the ground.
