ODAC All-Conference Football Teams Announced
WASHINGTON - Three Catholic University of America senior
football palyers received All-Old Dominion Athletic Conference
recognition for their play during the 2004 season.
Defensive lineman Brendan Foley (Charlotte,
N.C./Page) made the defensive second team while Pat
Truxillo (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) and Ryan
Parrish (Washington Crossing, Pa./Council Rock) received
honorable mention honors.
A rough-and-tumble starter on the defensive line,
Foley was a major contributor on defense over his four-year career.
He was named CUA Football's Lineman of the Year in 2004. He had 24
tackles and two sacks on the year.
One of three captains for the football team, Truxillo's versatility
served him well as a three-year starter at both quarterback and
wide receiver. As a leader in the ODAC, Truxillo ranked fifth in
punt returns, sixth in passing average per game, eighth in pass
efficiency and ninth in total offense and kick returns. On the
team, he was first in scoring and punt returns, second in receiving
and kick returns and third in rushing, passing, interceptions and
total offense -laying claim to the team's Offensive MVP award.
A three-year starter at defensive back, Parrish wracked up the most
interceptions on the team during the 2003 season. This year, he
ranked sixth overall in the ODAC in total interceptions and was in
the top 35 of all defensemen in tackles. On the team, he was second
in interceptions and fifth as a defensive leader. He was named the
team's 2004 Defensive MVP.
Dada, Haran Head Catholic University Football
Awards
WASHINGTON (Feb. 17, 2005) -- Senior defensive end Aaron
Dada (Millersville, Md. /Old Mill) and fifth-year guard
Brian Haran (Malverne, N.Y. /Chaminade) won
Catholic University's most prestigious football awards last
Saturday.
Dada was honored with the Anthony J. Bottoni Leadership Award as
CUA's outstanding senior leader. Haran won the Ronnie McManes
Award, which is given to the Cardinal football player "who has
risen above adversity to excel athletically and academically." Both
awards are chosen by the coaching staff.
The 6-foot-1, 245-pound Dada recorded 34 tackles last season,
including five for loss. He tied for the team lead in sacks with
three and added an interception and forced fumble. In 2003, he had
28 tackles (five for loss), two sacks and an interception. He
transferred from Lehigh University in 2002.
Haran, who started his last three years at CUA, played for three
Cardinal head coaches and five line coaches in five years. He
missed most of the 2001 season after his father, James, was killed
in the attacks on the World Trade Center. Haran graduated in 2004
with a degree in psychology and a minor in business. He competed as
a first-year law student at CUA last season and started at
guard.
Anthony J. Bottoni was a former two-year (1998-99)
starting right guard for the Cardinals who was killed in automobile
collision on Dec. 28, 1999. He came to CUA after a distinguished
prep career in football, basketball and track at Watchung Hills
Regional High School in his hometown of Warren, N.J. He was an
honor roll student and class vice president prior to graduating in
1997.
Bottoni's blocking helped the Cards set a then-school record for
season rushing yardage with 2,044 yards in 1999. The team ranked
seventh in the nation in scoring offense (40.1 ppg), seventh in
total offense (481.5 ypg) and 24th in passing offense (277.1
ypg).
Ronnie McManes, who lived in Hyattsville, Md., at
the time of his death in 2001 at age 80, helped to rejuvenate
football at CUA by becoming the school's first head football coach
in 1965 after a 15-year hiatus. He previously coached football,
baseball, basketball and track in Washington, D.C., for the No. 12
Metropolitan Police Boys Club. Among the more noted players he
coached were University of Notre Dame President, the Rev.
Edward A. "Monk" Malloy, Prince George's Community College
Softball Coach Mike Gleason and former Prince
George's (Md.) County Police Chief Mike
Flaherty.
Here are the other Cardinal football award winners:
