Mars went 6-6 overall and 4-2 in conference play, including a thrilling 48-42 win over Montour in the first round of the WPIAL playoffs.
Sacred Heart moved to independent status in Division I FCS in 2024, removing its football team from the Northeast Conference while transferring all its other athletic programs to the Metro-Atlantic Athletic Conference.
