   Bethlehem Catholic had 5 FCS/FBS prospects and the coaching staff failed to utilize their talents and skill sets this season. Inexcuseable that they weren’t represented on the AAA All-State team – I don’t blame the players, I blame the coaches! The team underachieved this year considered the talent at the skill positions. However, the kids did not have any control on how they were utilized. The move to the North division of the EPC was detrimental to the program and certain players in spite of the victories this year. They won games with simple and basic plays in 2015, no innovation or use of the quick passing game with the offensive talents they possessed. Joe Jay Smith, Elijah Finneran, Julian Spigner, Nate Stewart, and Antwon Keenan. Aside from the RB, no one else was highlighted at any point this season during a game? Potential or additional scholarships were on the line for many of them and unfortunately, they were not given an opportunity to showcase their talents. Perhaps, the coaches assumed that there would be more games? Unfortunately, that didn’t happen as they played a well coached and determined Saucon Valley team who had a greater hunger across the board for that game. The game of football is about emotion. SV had it in that game and BC did not …..Congrats again to SV for representing the LV at the AAA level and to Parkland for playing in the title game! Devante Cross, as a player, summed up what his team looks to exploit in a post game victory interview; “We look to find the mismatches….” Simple enough…had BC lined up 6’4, 6’2 and 6’2 at the WR positions there would have a been a mismatch somewhere during the regular and post season, throw in a hard to tackle RB – most coaches would have found a way to get their play-makers the ball with hitches, slants, quick hitters, swing passes and then look for the vertical pass.
   BC – a missed opportunity for many; players, community, and fans.

   Many in the Lehigh Valley are up in arms about the Easton coach and his being somewhat egotistical persona and not helping his student athletes in reaching the next level by being proactive with college recruiting. Thus, the LV had some very good story lines this football season; the unlikely overachieved ( teams- ND of Bethlehem and players) and the saga continues with the resignation of Evancho at SV, perhaps a foreshadow to changes to come – he is an Easton grad?

   Best of luck to those student athletes who will continue their athletic careers at the next level. Continue to rep the state of PA!
