Impact Player for Bishop McNamara: Both senior RB/DB Emmanuel Harris and senior RB/LB Caleb Smith are both experienced two way multi-year starters for the Fighting Irish and Hall of Fame head coach Rich Zinnani. Both Harris and Smith will again be asked to provide serious yards on offense and leadership on both sides of the football this fall.
EDGY's Quick Take on the Bishop McNamara Fighting Irish: Bishop McNamara was able to make a deep run in the 4A state playoffs but lost on the road in the quarterfinal round to Murphysboro 35-27 to end the 2019 season. The Fighting Irish bring back a nice core of starter back this fall and if they can find answers at a few key spots (QB/DL) look for Bishop Mac to challenge in the Metro Blue and beyond in 2020.
