Scuderi steps down at Camden Catholic

Dennis Scuderi Sr.'s second stint as Camden Catholic's football coach lasted just one season.

Scuderi resigned Thursday, citing "work commitments" as well as concerns about his health.

"I'm thankful for the opportunity," he said. "I wish Camden Catholic nothing but the best."

Scuderi underwent surgery for prostate cancer in early February. Although he said his health is good, he thinks he "might have come back too soon."

Scuderi hopes to coach again. He believes his health will continue to improve. Camden Catholic was 4-6 this season.

Scuderi previously coached Camden Catholic from 1997 to 2004, compiling a 53-21 record.

He also was 36-20 in five-plus seasons at St. Augustine Prep (2005-10). He spent a couple of seasons as an assistant coach at Absegami, where his son Dennis is the head coach, before returning to Camden Catholic.
