By: Jacob Miles with Mr. Illuzzi  Photo courtesty of Charles Levie If the age-old adage that “defense wins championships” is true, then the Glenelg football team is in an enviable position heading into the 2024 playoffs.
With a record of 6-3, the Gladiators are riding a three-game win streak, outscoring opponents 63-14 during that stretch, and outpacing all other county teams with a near league record of 8.1 points allowed per game – a third of their wins this season, including their last two, have been shutouts. Ask any player if they are surprised to find this year’s team leading defensive statistical categories, and the confident “no” you’ll receive in response indicates a squad that expects to succeed. It certainly helps when the core of senior defensive players has grown together since their freshman year.
