Doran led Greene County’s team in tackles every game and finished the 10 game season with 44 solo tackles and 94 tackle assists. The senior punted 1684 yards on 49 attempts for a 34.4 yard average, and had one 70 yard punt. Although Doran usually played linebacker, he was willing to go in wherever he was needed.
