Coach Drew is hard-working, humble, hyper-competitive and high energy. Most importantly, he loves those around him like Jesus has loved him! We are blessed to have him on staff!.
Defensive coordinator Nick Drew has distinguished himself in four years with Cardinal Gibbons, and his defense helped the school advance to the state semifinals.
