⚔️
Growing up a Cavalier, I always heard about the 1995 Cavalier football team. A team that won a District title under Hall of Fame Coach Ed Christian. It has been GOAL
#1
as a player and coach to get one...well, we finally did.
THANK YOU COACH CHRISTIAN. WE ARE DISTRICT CHAMPS!
As it happens to every football coach at some point in their careers, I definitely outkicked my coverage on this one!
Thank you to our families and friends who support us every day. We love you all!
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

An amazing honor for Coach, his family, his friends, and the thousands that had the pleasure to call him Coach.

A throwback to the first Cavalier team to knock off Stroudsburg in 1952.
#BleedPurple
As I turn the lights off in the coaches office, I look back at the year the 2018 Cavaliers had.
From 1-9 their freshmen year, this group of seniors climbed to the top and won a district title. You stamped your legacy for the future.
Pride, love, family....forever

FOOTBALL FRIDAY🏈
In ‘17, I was told by someone outside the program, “that’s not how you win” when I said that my team will have the most fun. When coaching Xs & Os, it’s OKAY to step back and remember that WE are playing & coaching the greatest sport in the World.
#BleedPurple
