Also, not totally related but to contain it in one thread -
How many Pennsylvania athletes had a better all around year that Kurtis Crossman? You don't see this very much anymore, but here's what he's accomplished across three sports.
Fall - Football: First Team All EPC defensive end AND tight end. Easton-P'burg defensive MVP. All EasternPaFootball defensive end.
Winter - Wrestling: 33-10, D11 runner-up at 215 pounds, PIAA state qualifier (2nd time), Beast of the East round of 12
Spring - Baseball: First Team All EPC first baseman, currently hitting .421, slugging .598 and leading the league in doubles
Crossman has been a varsity starter in baseball since his freshman season, and cracked the football and wrestling lineups as a sophomore. In this era of specialization, it's kind of nice to see a kid who is excelling in three sports. As a younger athlete, I think he was getting more baseball attention. From what I'm hearing, he's got a lot more low FBS, or FCS (lots of the high academic Patriot League/Ivy League types, plus Villanova, New Hampshire, etc.). I don't think solely focusing on football means he'd be getting offers from Georgia and Penn State instead, so isn't it kind of nice that he's doing all three, excelling at all three, and still has opportunities at the next level that probably would be there regardless? Not to get on too much of a soap box, but it's cool.
