The Crusaders closed the 2016 season with a first in school history -- playing a varsity football game on campus at Moeller on Senior Day against Royal Imperial Collegiate of Canada.

The Moeller Varsity Football team had an up and down campaign with a challenging schedule. The team started with a 3-1 record -- defeating Lakota West, Mason and Don Bosco Prep (N.J.). The Crusaders’ first loss came at the hands of the back-to-back state runner up Wayne Warriors.

Unfortunately, the Crusaders would go into a slide, dropping the next five games at the hands of GCL foes St. Xavier, La Salle and Elder, along with Cleveland St. Ignatius and Lakewood St. Edward. Despite missing the playoffs, the Crusaders persevered and played hard all season.
