There are nine returning starters among the 42 letterwinners back, leaving the Dutch to identify six new starters on offense and seven on defense. And we have people who fit that identity.' We know who we are on offense and defense. I think we've played to our strengths better every year. Our coaching staff has always held onto that mindset. And the best we can do is to really focus on this season and this team and play to the strengths of the guys that we have. Yes, we lost some talented football players, but we have a lot of talented football players coming back. 'I think we're very focused on where we are. 'I think our staff and our players are really focused on this season, we're not looking back,' McMartin said. Yet as McMartin enters his 19th season, the American Rivers Conference's longest-tenured coach has his eyes firmly fixed on what lies ahead.

The AFCA Board of Trustees member has posted a glossy 140-43 (.765) career record and is among Division III's winningest active coaches with six league titles and six NCAA playoff berths. Blaine Hawkins capped arguably the most prolific career of any quarterback in the program's rich history by receiving the Gagliardi Trophy as Division III's outstanding player and McMartin became the first at Central to receive the AFCA Division III Coach of the Year Award. Central reached the national quarterfinals en route to the school's 17th undefeated regular-season campaign and a 12-1 overall season that left the Dutch record book in ruins as 62 new school marks were established.

To be sure, there are aspects of the 2021 season unlikely to soon be matched, as the Dutch roared to their record 32nd conference championship and 22nd NCAA Division III playoff berth.
