@Jay, was the Daily Local News article published after the state championship game? If so, I’m guessing the writer watched the game and saw Hunt give up on his team in the 1st quarter. That doesn’t take away from his body of work for the season, of course. Everybody watching saw the coaches trying to get him to stop stomping around and acting like a spoiled child that didn’t get the GI Joe he wanted for his birthday. Body language and attitude go a very long way. Just a guess, but it is something to think about.
I am in complete agreement with @NothinButSports24/7’s six picks. All six of them are great, if not the best, candidates. But on that note, I have to point something out that has me completely dumbfounded.
The Daily Local News published their picks in today’s paper for First and Second Team All-Area Offense and Defense. Emmett Hunt didn’t make EITHER Team, NOR was he included in Honorable Mention! This was right next to an article named “Hunt’s storied season one to remember”, no less…
Kyle Lauletta (Downingtown East) was selected to the first-team, and Joe Viviano (Conestoga) was selected to the second-team. I understand how you can make a case for Lauletta for at least the second team, and Viviano did have some impressive stats, but come on! Hunt had a historic season where he led his team to the state championship game, and also had better stats than either Lauletta or Viviano – which was also true before Coatesville had more games played than Downingtown East and Conestoga.
Did anyone else catch this, or can someone help me understand the reasoning here? Maybe I’m missing something.
Big School Coach of the Year: Joe Repshis, Abington Heights
Following a 3-7 record last year, he took his team to the Eastern state quarterfinal against Allentown Central Catholic, beat Berwick in District 2 championship game and finished with a 10-3 record.
Only losses in the regular season were against Scranton and Delaware Valley, the 2 best teams in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year.
Excellent job by the coaching staff as a whole.

Sorry, small schools, forgot the Spartans are AA.
I would certainly think Bob Wolfrum of Wyomissing would deserve some consideration in big schools. The only Eastern victor in the championships, an undefeated season over an undefeated opponent, the first state championship for the school and Berks County. A quality program and body of work over his many years leading the Spartans.
Matt Ortega from Coatesville would be my pick for Coach of the Year. Best team would probably go to Clariton. Four straight championships? You’re just lucky if you win one.
