LeRoy is primed to compete for a title: Top players, schedule and what to know for 2023

LeRoy Oatkan Knights

Can this be LeRoy's year?

The Oatkan Knights' one-point loss in last year's Section V Class C semifinals was crushing. With many key returners, and new coach Mike Humphrey at the helm, LeRoy looks to made another deep playoff run.

Seniors Drew Strollo, Jackson Fix and Tony Piazza are back in the backfield and their linebacker slots. Holden Sullivan will open holes for them at center. Senior quarterback Tommy Condidorio and receiver Cal Koukides will look to make explosive plays to move the chains.
