2003-2004 Season Summary: Varsity Football

Kent's 2003 football season ended on a blustery late fall day at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut – site of the Class A New England Prep School championship game. Phillips Exeter, overcoming a 1st half deficit, proved to be the better team, defeating Kent by a score of 46 – 34 yet the loss did not diminish the team's accomplishments during the previous 2 months. This team won the hearts of fellow students and alumni as an astounding 6 busses transported nearly 300 Kent students and faculty, joined by a strong contingent of Kent alumni (one flew in from Florida to watch the game!), to Trinity to cheer on the Erickson League Champions.

Kent earned the right to play for its second New England championship in three years after posting a 7-1 record and claiming its record 12th Erickson League title (6 in the past 12 years). Boasting New England's most prolific offense, showcasing both a 1000 yard passer and 1000 yard rusher, Kent capped its championship regular season with a 44-13 victory over Loomis; earning the team sole possession of the league title; the Coach's Cup (awarded to the team with the best record of the Kent, Loomis, Hotchkiss and Taft series); as well as the fabled Spoon.

This senior class recorded a 20-4 record over the past 3 seasons – the best of any Class A school in New England. A league-high 6 players earned All-League recognition (Brian Melvin, Rogan Donelly, Bruce Elia, Nate Jones, Nkolo Nyada and Antonio Brecevich) including the league's most valuable defensive player - Brececevich. Also, named to the All New England team were Brecevich, Jones and Donelly. Other senior starters include Sean McGillick, Chris Connell, Mark Koussaya, Alex Saks, Adrian Sosenko, Jordan Thesserault and Terry Williams.
