Brennan made tremendous strides in his first season.  He quickly picked up the slide schemes and packages, and improved his strength and holds versus hard-charging dodgers.  Despite facing a solid core of starters on defense ahead of him on the depth chart, Brennan worked his way up the ladder and found himself in most games in 2009.    Our baby rhino is all grown up now.  Brennan is now a trusted defenseman, a man we will ask to cover not only big dodgers, but also dynamic and quick attackmen.  Our defense is stronger because of the hard work and commitment to greatness Brennan has undertaken. 2009: Saw action in 11 games for the Bears...Picked up ground balls against Johns Hopkins, Delaware, Vermont and Quinnipiac...Secondary School Background: A graduate of Smithtown West where he lettered in lacrosse (4) and football (2)...Team captain in lacrosse and football...Lacrosse team MVP in 2008 and All-County in 2007 and 2008...Single season school record holder for ground balls (136) and takeaways (110)...
