AUDUBON
It’s been a great recent run for Audubon. The Green Wave went 8-2 last season and are 15-3 in the last two years. The 7-1 record in 2020 was the most wins by the schools since going 9-2 in 1983. And then last year the Green Wave surpassed that total, made the playoffs, won a postseason game and then lost to Salem in the CJ Group 1 semifinals. Audubon finished a game behind Camden Catholic in last year’s Constitution Division race. Once again the Green Wave should be serious division contenders. This is a team with plenty of offensive firepower. Sr. QB Scott Lynch (6-3, 210) completed 119 of 206 passes for 2,002 yards and 25 TDs while rushing for 375 yards and 4 TDs on 50 carries.

Jr. RB-WR-S Luke Hoke (5-7, 150) had 47 carries for 437 yards and 6 TDs, 36 receptions for 643 yards and 8 TDs and 47 tackles in earning first-team honors.
