Called the hub of the Mooney offense, Denny Bucci is the only player in the school's rich history to have been involved in five different categories in the SVC statistics, either as the leader of or among the top three.  His versatility as the fullback, defensive end, and punter was instrumental in Mooney's SVC Championship season in '79.  Denny led the SVC in scoring, was second in rushing, second in punting, third in punt returns, and second in all-purpose running.

Bucci's stellar play earned him spots on the 1^st Team All-SVC, 1^st Team All-Diocese, 1^st Team All N.E.O. and special mention All-State. 

He accepted a full athletic scholarship to Bowling Green State University where a shoulder injury ended his football career.

Denny is employed by the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Eastern Great Lakes.  He has been married for 14 years to the former Monica West and has two children.  He lives in Boardman and belongs to St. Charles Parish.
