The football team at Pontiac Notre Dame Prep has won an impressive 18 straight regular season games dating back to 2010.

NDP is 5-0 this season and looking mighty dominating in the process.

In doing so, Fighting Irish sideline general Kyle Zimmerman has showed why he's one of the best young minds in the state's coaching ranks – epitomizing what it means to be a master motivator and expert tactician with the head phones on.

Most eye-opening about this fall's success on the gridiron for TEAM ZIMM is the fact that the Fighting Irish has had to replace virtually their entire line-up off last year's Prep Bowl championship squad that went 10-1.

Here's a 2012 Fighting Irish personnel breakdown;

Junior tailback Jeremiah Johnson is a genuine SUPERSTAR with the rock in his hands. He's ran for almost 700 yards and 8 touchdowns so far.

NDP's new quarterback Joe Kutil is a smashing success under center. Even though he's a first-year starter, Kutil has the moxie of a seasoned signal-caller and is playing as well as anyone at his position in the area. THIS KID IS NO REGULAR JOE!!

Transfer Brendan Newvine is a multi-purpose dynamo, lining up all over the field, including at running back, receiver and safety. Newvine came over the NDP from Clarkston, where he started a playoff game at quarterback as a freshman for the Wolfpack two years ago. Coming up clutch late on the defensive side of the ball, he's made momentum-shifting interceptions in each of the past two weeks.

Speaking of defense, senior linebacker Vinnie Famularo is headlining a spunky and opportunistic group of ballhawks AND showing his merits as a TRUE CHSL SIR-GRIND-A-LOT SPECIAL. Famularo and Co. stymied a high-powered BH Lahser squad in Week 5.

Let's not forget about special teams either, where Taylor Timko, one of the best female prep athletes in the state, committed to Michigan for soccer, holds things down HARD-CORE. In her first game as the team's starting placekicker in Week 1, she booted the game-winning field goal. CAN U SAY CASH MONEY with the game on the line?
