Record setting Southern Columbia running back Gaige Garcia is transferring to Lehigh to both wrestle and play football. While he was definitely good enough to wrestle at Michigan, he wasn’t that level of a football player, but Lehigh is a great fit on both fronts. I think he could be an All American level running back in FCS (think Nate Eachus). If he just wrestled, I’d peg his as an All American contender at 184/197. Lehigh is an elite wrestling program and can get him there, though we’ll see what happens if he’s being pulled in both directions.

I'm kidding, but... he's out at Cheltenham.

Wood has a tough schedule this year, with Neuman/Goretti which has a number of D-1 players ,Neshaminy, St Johns Washington DC, LaSalle,Malvern Prep and ST Joe Prep besides Judge and Roman.

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“Looking back at last season obviously there’s things that needed to be worked on. But the energy is way different. I see the team doing a lot better than it did before coming in with something to prove.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Every team on the schedule is beatable, it's just a matter of how we play. But teams like Quakertown and Souderton are some to prepare well for."

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“Obviously, there’s players on each team that you put more attention to when you see that they’re a better player and a player that I know that everyone’s going to be watching out for is Kyle Lehman on Wissahickon.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?

“Our toughest competition will be Plum again. Plum handed us our only regular season loss last year and will be good this upcoming year as well.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“I’ll have to say Sean Fitzsimmons from Central Valley. Although I wasn’t able to go against him last year because of a COVID cancellation, I was able to watch some of his film and see how much of a force he was on the defensive line.

After following the Pine Richland saga and getting to know a bit about the program, could a District 1 school replicate (or come somewhat close to replicating) that success? I know a District 1 6A school winning a state championship is probably a long shot, but could any of them win the District title two years in a row? Or three out of four?

North Penn and Coatesville strike me as the obvious answers considering they’ve had nice runs. Are there any other schools that could accomplish this? If so, who has the resources (consistent talent, numbers, administrative support, facilities, etc) in place to accomplish this?
