Football tied with wrestling (I was a wrestler). Football team lost one game my junior year to eventual state champs in the big school division by a blocked punt for a TD in the last couple of minutes of a then 0-0 tie game. At that time only 4 teams went to the playoffs, one from each geographic quarter of the state. The team we lost to won the state championship 49-2. Our team was likely the second best team in the state that year with 2 college Div. I four year starters on the roster.
Our wrestling team had one state runner up and several others who made it deep into the state championship rounds my senior year. When I was in junior high, the best team was basketball and the teams went pretty far into the playoffs. However, our baseball team my junior year had been picked as one of the best in the state because of two MLB prospect pitchers. Unfortunately one died from Hodgkins Lymphoma during the season and never was well enough to play, and the other died from an undiagnosed cardiac problem (probably congenital) during the preseason workouts. He went home and wasn’t feeling well so he went to bed to rest and his mother found him dead in bed.
The school is still strong in wrestling (a recent coach was one of my wrestling and track teammates) and a couple of years ago the football team went deep into the playoffs and has had 2 fairly recent Penn State players including starting DB Tony Davis.
I now live about 1000 miles from my old school. Until 4 months ago l lived about 100 miles away.
