In a year that began in remembrance of late Bangor Football coach Paul Farnan, the Slaters played with conviction, returning the program back to its winning ways. The football team came out of the gate strong with convincing wins over Palisades and Pottstown. COVID-19 issues going into their game against Blue Mountain led to a hard stretch through the middle of the season as they won 1 of their next 4 games, but morale was strong going into the final half of the season.

A bounce-back win at Lehighton and statement victory against Wilson opened the Slaters up to win 4 of their last 5 games. They crushed Pen Argyl in the rivalry game and got revenge against Saucon Valley in the Eastern Conference Championship. This was the Slaters’ second Eastern Conference Championship win in the last 5 years and quite the turnaround after only winning a total of 3 games the previous two years.

The Slaters’ success was a complete team effort, with the offensive line leading the way. They helped set the school record of 3,143 rushing yards in a single season, and produced two 1000 yard rushers. The offense’s monster season also paved the way to score 400 points in a single season, another school record. The defense held its own as well, keeping opponents to two touchdowns or less in each of the team’s 7 wins.
