What sets Cocalico’s football program apart from Peters Twp opponent this evening? ... This afterwards.... it was something they did every game, and something prompting the Indians coaching staff to say what class acts the Eagles were.

I come from a family of many football coaches, some have been at the NCAA Power five level, others in the PIAA. They were strict, loved the game but were also humble and wanted kids to succeed. Hempfield’s George Eager is the same, nothing but class.
@HempfieldFB
In PIAA state soccer action, Cocalico falls 5-1 to a great Phoenixville team, This is a team that set a precedent for years to come and got further than other Cocalico team in program history. Congrats to these young men on a fantastic season!

These three have been the heart and soul of Lampeter- Strasburg - Junior Colin Whitaker, Parker Stoner and Ben Devine. Devine and Parker, seniors, never lost a XC meet in four years, as they clinched another Section title Tuesday in Terre Hill.

Andre Weidman is flanked by his lineman who helped plow the way for his record breaking night at War Memorial Field in a 42-28 L-L Section 3 win over Fleetwood. The senior standout rushed 33 times for 382 yards and became the career yardage leader for Ephrata.

Annville’s Oliver Funk loads up on all kinds of state swag, including Kayo the duck, following the Dutchman’s PIAA state championship!
@AnnvilleCleona
@LancLebLeague
So true.
Carter Nuneville is perhaps one of the most underrated players around the L-L. All this kid does is stay humble, leads, puts up a ton of points when his team needs them like 24 against Ephrata and more impressive 6-7 from line.
@CocalicoSports
@CocalicoHoops
@LLhoops
6-2 point guards don’t come around much, which is why Cocalico’s Carter Nuneville is such an intriguing prospect. Way under the radar. 3.4 gpa, 1180 SAT (will retake)

Three things we learned about Lampeter Strasburg Football Friday night
1.) It starts in the trenches and the line was punishing.
2.) Adjustments by coaches= points
3.) Defense - Led by Parker Owens, No points allowed by starters since week two.

Many times teachers get little appreciation, despite many hours of hard work and dedication. On Friday night at Cocalico, it’s football players honored some giving them jerseys and thanking them for their inspiration and what they do.

What a game for this guy. Connecting with rookie quarterback Sam McCracken, all Ephrata’s Jeremiah Knowles did was bring down seven catches for 202 yards( three for scores) and take a kickoff to the house for 88 yards in a 35-27 loss to Donegal.

One of best assessments of why this Cocalico squad is playing at the level they are, not to mention the fact they all buy into there is no I in team and stay humble.

If you look up Cocalico Basketball in the dictionary, there’s an image of tonight’s 32 minute grind. That was an A+. The star got others involved, took over when he had to, and locked down the most explosive piece of dynamite in the league on D. Also won below 50. Perfection
Friday Night Lights quotable from Lampeter Strasburg qb Sean McTaggert who tossed for four touchdowns.
“There were a lot of fans in the stands tonite, it was nice to hear the band, it finally felt like Friday Night Football”
