“We are extremely proud of the outstanding education, coaching, guidance and support that was provided to Mike and Liam Carroll by our teachers, coaching staff, guidance counselors, and booster club. What an incredible job they did and have always done supporting our student athletes in the football program”.
CB East head coach John Donnelly tells PFN that he is confident his team will compete each week at a top notch level even with the loss of the Carroll brothers, Mike and Liam, to IMG. Senior Mike is committed to Alabama while his younger Liam has a P4 offer from PSU and interest from many more. At PFN we keep track of players and our tracking shows many times players move back home after finding out the turf isn’t always softer at another school. Nazareth and Wilkes-Barre have both had this happen.
“We are grateful for our former players, current players, and future players for their understanding of the value and experience earned by playing for their community in their hometown with their friends. We are proud of the high number of players who have been developed in our program, earned scholarships, and have gone on to play at all levels of college football from our football tree. Our players are homegrown, not handpicked”.
Donnelly has had his share of top players and also coached in the Big 33 so he’s confident the well hasn’t run dry with the loss of two players.
“Many non-boundary schools have long tentacles and deep pockets. Handpicked. What is impressive about schools who assemble a collection of athletes pulled from several different area codes or even states? Will the powers that be ever steel their spine? There is nothing like hometown pride and honing qualities like grit, hard work, and loyalty rather than clicks or stars.
We just returned from a successful team camp at ESU where we competed against top notch competition. It was and always is a great barometer for our team. We came out of it with high spirits about where we are as a team and look forward to playing Ridley on August 23rd!”
