Words from the Coach:
“Cole was our team MVP last season as a junior. He rushed for over 1600yds, and had 148 tackles as an inside linebacker on defense. Cole’s vision and skill at changing directions improved throughout the year making him one of our best offensive weapons and his play on both sides of the ball powered our run to the District 3 semi-finals. Cole also had a prolific season as a wrestler in his junior year, advancing to the PIAA state finals.”
