    BEVERLY, MA - The New England Football Conference announced its annual all-division teams yesterday and seven Endicott Gulls received conference honors for their play in 2007.

    Headlining the offensive honorees is All-NEFC First Team receiver Ryan MacLean (Mansfield, MA/Mansfield). The senior hauled in a team-high 32 catches for 512-yards with two scores in '07. MacLean averaged 16 yards per completion and 56.9 yards receiving per game.

    Junior guard George Samaras (Manchester, NH/Manchester Central) was instrumental in opening holes for the Gulls' ground attack, while also protecting the quarterback in the passing game. He is joined by All-First Team return specialist Aaron Santos (Cambridge, MA/Cushing Academy). Santos returned 15 punts for 256 yards for an average of 17.1 yards per return. Santos also had eight kick returns for 121 yards. The sophomore was also a threat in the receiver position, catching 17 balls for 245 yards and a touchdown.

    On the defensive side of the ball, Endicott placed two members on the First Team All-Boyd defense. Senior defensive back Pego Jean-Paul (Deltona, FL/Stamford (CT) returns to the list for another year as one of the elitist DB's in all of the NEFC. Jean-Paul led the Gulls with 43.5 tackles this past season while also picking-off the opposition four times to lead the squad in interceptions.

    Also earning First Team defensive honors is linebacker Joe DePamphilis (Winthrop, MA/Savio Prep). DePamphilis placed second on the team in tackles with 43.0. A senior leader, Joe solidified the Gulls' linebacking core in 2007.

    Endicott also put two players on the All-NEFC Boyd Second Team, as senior defensive back Jared Giblin (Mansfield, MA/Mansfield) was recognized for his standout contributions. Giblin finished third on the team with 34.0 tackles and also led the Gulls with six broken-up pass attempts. Jared also had two interceptions for the Blue and Green. Offensively, senior guard Jeff Learned (Clinton, MA/Clinton) picked-up second team honors as he and first teamer George Samaras gave Endicott one of the best guard tandems in the entire NEFC.
