He helped lead Malvern to a third straight Inter-Ac title and an undefeated season.
“His leadership is what stood out the most during this 11-0 season. He led by both his actions and vocally. Keith had a great knack for getting his teammates on the same page throughout the season. He has the utmost respect of everyone in the program, deservedly so!”
He was the Inter-Academic League MVP, EasternPAFootball.com Class 5A Co-Player of the year, and All-Southeastern Pennsylvania selection.
