Heritage Conference Regular Season Wrap up
Posted: November 4th, 2013, 8:11 pm
This year was probably one of the most exciting ones in recent memory for this conference. Between suprises, upsets, injuries and struggles i feel this will be known as the most volitile year. Homer Center won the Prize and now 4 teams will look to go to the playoffs. Right now i'll go over nominees for a few positions.
Game of the Year:
* Northern Cambria vs Penns Manor - This game started off the year right, it ended with a failed 2pt conversion at the 1yrd line for the colts and started what was an unbelievable season for in conference games.
* Penns Manor vs Ligonier - This game down to one second left. They is lots of reasons why penns manor shouldn't of won but the game is over and was very entertaining to watch and listen too.
* Northern Cambria vs Ligonier - This game gave reason to believe in the team from Northern Cambria. They fough hard and came back to stun the rams for their 3rd of 4 straight loses. In the end Northern did not make the playoffs but this game only was more interesting because the colts still had a chance.
Offensive Player of the Year -
* Ean Lee - Lee was the big play back this year for the champion wildcats. He ran for over 1000 yards for the season and led the wildcats on big 4th quarter drives against LV and HC
* Alec Bloom - The tall 6-7 Wr/Te from Ligonier did all he could to give the rams a heritage title. He made catch after catch during the penns manor game. Double coverage didn't matter a lot for bloom.
* Deon Robinson - He was the core for bobcats teams. He is probably the best true runningback in the conference running for I believe over 1000 yards.
Top Defensive player of the Year
* Steven Dumn - He was one of the core players for the comets defense. Constantly plugging holes he led the defense to a that went 9-1
* Mike Newhouse - He recovered fumbles. he clogged up holes. he was the key behind this defense that did so well all year long.
* Luke Ruddock - This defensive linemen had by far his best year this year. He was consistently in the backfield wrecking plays are is one of the major factors for the Comets.
Coach of the Year
* Bill Packer - This year was believed to be .500 at best for the comets but with great coaching and good talent the comets were able to make it a 9-1 season just like last year.
* Greg Page - Being a favorite is one thing preseason. living up to it is another but Page had his young men ready for battle all year in heritage play. Leading them to a Heritage Conference title.
* Brandon Overdorff - Purhcase Line quietly made their way to a .500 season. No they didn't ruffle any feathers with big upsets but they did end up having more success than believe be. They are a team on the right track and I feel this coach has the Dragons believing they can win any given friday again.
If you have any other Nominees just list below and I'll have the official vote on Bleachercoaches next week!
