A 13-2 record and deep state playoff run was evidence that the Riverside Vikings were a good squad this season. Now, the Vikings have added 3 standouts to the PA Football Writers All-State team for Class 2A.
Riverside QB Chase Taddonio
#2 QB/DB Chase Taddonio, a 5-11 195 lb. senior garnered the honors in the “Athlete” category for offense….and with good reason. Taddonio, widely regarded as the most polished roll-out passer in District 2, threw for 2117 yards and 29 TD’s and also added 970 rushing yards with 15 rushing TD’s to lead the Vikings in both rushing and passing.
Riverside TE Richie Kostoff
#87 TE/LB Richie Kostoff, a 6-2 235 lb. senior had a terrific season. Called on late in the campaign to run the ball, Kostoff had 499 rushing yards with 5 rushing TD’s to go along with his 773 receiving yards and 11 receiving TD’s. Kostoff also was a stalwart on defense patrolling the middle of the field and had his name called plenty of times on tackles made.
Riverside DL/OL Tavian Branch
#75 OL/DL Tavian Branch, a 6-4 290 lb. junior was a terror all year on both lines and seemed to always be in the backfield disrupting ball carriers and pressuring the QB, even as he drew double-team and triple-team blocks all year. Branch has at least 13 Division 1 offers already including Penn State, Pittsburgh, Oklahoma and Syracuse.
Congrats to these 3 Vikings on their selection to the PA Football Writers Class 2A All-State team!!
