MacArthur Senior Named to MSG Varsity All-Metro Football Team

Anthony DeNunzio was named one of the best defensive players in the area this year.

 MSG Varsity and The National Football Foundation recently announced the third annual MSG Varsity All Metro Team, comprised of 26 standout high school football players from the tri-state area. 

MacArthur senior and defensive lineman Anthony DeNunzio was named to the second-team. DeNunzio had a stellar year for MacArthur, compiling 10 sacks on defense for a team which finished 8-2, falling to Wantagh in the county semi-finals.

Selected by the network’s panel of football experts from hundreds of tri-state area high schools, the honorees were revealed live this week on MSG Varsity’s “A Quick :60,” Optimum TV Channel 14 at 8:00 p.m.  The broadcast also recognized both the coach of the year, the player of the year and the Second team. Honorable mentions are available on www.msgvarsity.com

“The football players who make up the MSG Varsity All Metro Team are among the best in the tri-state area,” said Michael Lardner, Senior Vice President and Executive Producer, MSG Varsity. “We are thrilled to partner with The National Football Foundation to honor these student athletes and their coaches who demonstrate on a regular basis the passion, athleticism and sportsmanship it takes to succeed both on and off the field.”
