Seven McDaniel Gridders Named All-CC
LANCASTER, Pa.—Seven players on the McDaniel College football team were named
to the 2005 All-Centennial Conference football squad on Monday. Five players on
defense and a pair on offense were named to the league’s First and Second
Teams. McDaniel was not represented on the Honorable Mention listing.
Junior Drew Abbamonte (Damascus, MD / Damascus) along with seniors Chase
Noll (Wilmington, DE / McKean) and Ron Ringgold (Aberdeen, MD / Aberdeen),
were named to the defensive first team.
Abbamonte was a constant disruption to opponents’ passing game nabbing six
passes for 68 return yards. He also broke up 11 passes this season. The junior
free safety recorded 82 tackles to finish second on the squad in that category.
51 of his tackles were unassisted efforts with four resulting in a loss of
yards.
Noll recorded a team-high six-sacks from his nose guard position resulting in 44
yards of losses for McDaniel’s opposition. He recorded 44 tackles, forced two
fumbles and blocked a kick in 2005.
Ringgold, a middle linebacker, recorded 136 tackles, the fifth most prolific
season of stops in McDaniel’s football history. His 72 solo tackles represents
the fifth best season on record in that category. Amongst his tackles were four
sacks. He also forced a fumble and recorded three interceptions and tacked on 77
return yards, 41 of which came on a touchdown return in the win against Ursinus.
Defensive back Andy Lee (Bethesda, MD / Walt Whitman) and punter Corey
Allen (Rockville, MD / Magruder) were each named to the Second Team Defense.
Working opposite of Abbamonte, the strong safety was third on the team in
tackles with 66 stops. He broke up 6 passes and intercepted another to go along
with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
Allen finished his career as the only punter to pass the 8,000-yard barrier in
Green Terror history. The senior kicked 77 times for a school record 2,824 yards
averaging 36.7 yards per punt. Allen dropped 17 kicks inside his opponent’s
20-yardline this season, leaving several on the 1-yardline, including once in
each of the season’s final to weeks. He boomed a career long punt of 68 yards
at Muhlenberg this season.
McDaniel’s two offensive players honored were both juniors. Offensive lineman Rob
Jones (Middle River / EVT) and wide receiver Chris Martin (Clarksville,
MD / River Hill) were each named Second Team All-Centennial.
Jones centered a line that afforded McDaniel runners 3.4 yards per carry in
2005, while Martin was second on McDaniel’s roster with 26 receptions and 241
yards for 9.3 yards per catch.
The Green Terror finished the season at 5-5 marking the first time since 1996
the team finished at or below .500.
