Schmidt coaches his 15th season. It is the most ever by a Neshaminy head coach breaking the 14 year record of Beck set nearly seven decades in the past. The team finishes 9-3 that year and it helps the Redskins post a 93-29 record during the first decade of the new millennium (the decade “measuring system” used is the 0 through 9 years as in 2000 through 2009). The .723 winning percentage during that period is only topped by the .792 for the 1950s and .780 for the ’60s. Dan Shirey and Jay Colbert play in the Big 33. It’s the fifth time two Redskins make the ranks of the best of the best while they represent players number seven and eight during the Schmidt years. Carrezola plays in the East West all-star game (started in 2001 it’s the “other” classic statewide post-season game and he is the tenth Neshaminy player to participate in the game). Shirey also starts as a freshmen for the Villanova Wildcats as they finish 14-1 and win the 2009 Division 1 FCS football national championship beating Montana, 23-21.
