"Our new receivers have done a nice job so far. They've taken a big step in the right direction," Dembowski said.

Cahill also was a back up last year, playing the role of understudy to Ricky Gallant for the Fishermen. The senior was the starting catcher on Gloucester's Division 1 North winning baseball team and possesses a rifle arm, something Ingram knows could be beneficial to his Wing-T offense.

"I said last year that if Rick went down, that we wouldn't miss a beat with Brett," Ingram said. "He throws a nice ball and we have a bunch of players at the skill positions that can catch very well."

The Fishermen, who reached the Division 2A Super Bowl last year, will rely on the running of Connor Ressel, Gilbert Brown and Jordan Shairs to help get Cahill's feet wet in his new role.

"Having Gilbert and Connor back really is huge. And Jordan has really improved," Ingram said.

Those weapons have the attention of Dembowski.

"Our defense has to bear down and make some stops. That's the big thing," Dembowski said. "And on offense, we have the opportunity to make some big plays because of how they blitz. We need to take care of the ball."
