Albany Academy receiver Jimmer Bennett finished his career with 199 receptions for 3,119 yards. He held Section II records in both categories before the 2008 season even began and is now 91 catches ahead of second place (Gloversville's Justin DeMagistris, 108) and 1,075 yards in front of the second-best yardage-gaining receiver in Section II history (Fort Edward's, Matt Thibodeau, 2,044).

Bennett holds second and third place for receiving yards in a single season (1,080 in '07 and 1,039 in '08).

He holds the record for receptions in a single season, catching 77 balls this year, edging out John Preston, who caught 76 passes at Rensselaer in 1980. (Preston was the varsity head coach at Colonie this season).

He holds the record for most catches in a single game, grabbing 15 passes against Ravena in week four this season, again edging out Preston, who had held the record with 14.

And don't think he's done yet at Academy. Bennett is also a fantastic point guard for the Cadets' basketball team.

Fonda-Fultonville's Kevin Hanson finished his career with 98 receptions, claiming sole possession of sixth place on the all-time list, edging out current Burnt Hills head coach Matt Shell, who caught 97 passes for Gloversville from 1986-87. Johnstown's Joe Ruggeri also caught 97 passes for the Sir Bills from 1988-89.
