The Berwick school board Monday night appointed George Curry as head football coach at a special meeting. The position became open when Gary Campbell, Jr. resigned to take his old job at Wahconah Regional HS in Dalton, Massachusetts. Curry has accepted the school’s appointment on a one-year interim basis only.

@ Rick D
Just to let you know that Dallas has a defensive coordinator who has coached 4 LB’s currently playing at the BCS level. Such as North Carolina and Oklahoma.
As far as the Offensive line they average 250 across the line. They return 3 starters from the Oline and converted their TE to Guard. They have a new TE who is 6’3″ 220 Jr. Who is a big time Lacrosse recruit.
Receivers are Siminovich and new transfer Dyreek Johnson. Dyreek is a 6’2″ long and rangy receiver. They have the ability to stretch the field on any play this year.
We’ll see who is right. I say they will be better than last season. Only time will tell.
Mifflin County will be @ Berwick, friday august 24 at 6pm. its on team info on this site.
does anyone know where the mifflin vs berwick scrimmage will be played?
to sum it up as i said before the players from d2 are as good as any in the state so what is it coaching you decide !!!!!15 years no titles and very few competive games !!!!
@rick d you right i cant spell lol but the dallas team i watched aganist prep and valley view i didnt see that many different formations i guess i was missing something @jamie matt mcgloin penn state
D11 (with 47 schools) has won 11 State Titles across all classes by 8 different schools. Allentown Cent Catholic has the most with 3.
D2 (with 36 schools) has won 10 State Titles across only 3 classes (ie no AAAA titles) by 5 different schools. Berwick has the most with 6. D11 has a lot more schools. Over time D2 has produced OK. But NADA since 1997.
D2 compares better with D4 which has 33 schools. D4 has won 11 State Titles across only 3 classes (ie no AAAA titles) by 3 different schools. Southern Columbia has the most with 6. So, D2 compares favorable with them…OVER TIME…just not recently.
D2’s top athletes compare favorably with any across the state. The real cause of D2’s football decline are many. Soccer likely takes a lot of good athletes as it does everywhere. D11’s population growth from NY/NJ caused an influx of athletes. I think D2 has generally had a significant population decline.
Jamie,
Although a walk-on, are you forgetting Matt McGloin, from West Scranton?
Opps, We (d2) AREN’T competing on the state level. Typo…
@ mark d
Dallas used more formations the last few years than I have ever seen on the HS level. Even more than Curry used in the 90’s. While I agree with some of the points you are trying to make…..it is difficult to take you seriously when you say things that are completely untrue and also when you spell every other word incorrectly…..
Let’s see, wide open offenses won all state titles last year. Wood played power football, granted they had the horses. Central Dauphin played power football. The year before, North Allegheny ran the most boring offense imaginable. All Southern Columbia teams ran power football. Everyone is focusing on ACC scoring 61 points, how about VV scoring 54 points on ACC, and dominating them with coal cracker offense. The teams that have the best players will always win, no matter what style they play. As for D2, the last 6 or 7 years, state finalists from D2, have run up against once in lifetime players, Dunmore against Tyrell Pryor, Abington and VV against Nosovitch. Last year’s VV team probably would have beaten most AAA teams in state except
Wood and ACC, including D3, D4 and most teams in WPIAL. By the way, 2 of the 3 Penn State recruits who played in Big 33 game are from D2.

I agree with you. D2 football has, over the last decade, gone down hll. We are competing on a state level. I said in my earlier post that d2 is in a down cycle. I only pointed out that d2 was once dominate, and that it is possible that it can happen again.
Mark,
What don’t you get? ACC had a D1 qb. You’re right, Valley View didn’t see anythogn like that up here. How many D1 qb’s are there? Especially one’s that are going to top 25 colleges? ACC’s qb was special, plus, he had great talent around him. Five lehigh Valley teams beat them? So what? Whenit counted, ACC showed what they were made of. There is no shame saying “we just dont see that type of offence around here”. No crap ! Who was the last D1 qb from d2? Exactly.
ron i agree he one of the best h.s q.b i ever saw but he was still one man and 5 other teams in the lehigh valley beat him last year i know all these kids from valley view is my sons class and belive me they were confused at what they were seeing from a.c.c we just dont see that type of offence around here @jamie both crestwood and dallas threw the ball still out of a base two wide set with a basic i back formation they just had good player see what they threw for aganist vally view i think i was a comdined 200 yards a.c.c threw for 500 !!!!!
Jeremy
Are you a coach? Do you have every D2 team playbook? How can you claim every d2 team runs the same offence as they did in 1990? That’s silly.
Numerous teams play out the spread up here. Hazleton used the spread, so did WVW. Crestwood passed the ball all over the place last year. And Dallas had just about the most balanced team in the state. Their QB tossed for over 1700 yards. Come on up here and watch some games, it’s not all “3 yards and a cloud of dust” like you seem to think.
Wow, D2 hasn’t won a state title since 1997, yet they still have just as many (10) as d11.
Ok, sorry 1992 Berwick won, not 1993. I mean when a team has six State Titles, it’s easy to mix up a year. Please all, forgive me for my horrible mistake.
