Mapletown celebrated its first undefeated regular season since 1968, a feat that was recognized in all-conference awards.

George Messich was named coach of the year in the Class A Tri-County South, and nine of his players earned all-conference honors after finishing the regular season 10-0. The list included senior running back Landan Stevenson, who led the WPIAL in rushing with 2,342 yards and scored a league-high 45 touchdowns.

The Maples finished 11-1 overall and won their first playoff game in team history, a 41-28 win over Leechburg in the first round.
