Used to say the same about Reading High, York (Wm. Penn) and Lancaster (McCaskey) High, especially Reading that they had better teams walking the halls than on the field.he will coach the 2019 season , then bow out.

Yes!....and this is exactly what Coach George Chaump did at Harrisburg putting them on he map again and what Coach Ortega did at York High and is doing at Coatesville. Good men all.Couldn’t agree more !!! This a flat out JOKE - all of the sudden a school district that couldn’t care less about there athletic programs now has a “vision” of where they want the program to be heading ???
A program that has been built up over the last 6 years by the OC and his friends (assistant coaches) and there families .. not to mention a head coach that has been there for 37 years !!
Rich Gentile is a good coach and a even better person and a Class act all around !!!
Sure he has had his ups and downs as any HS coach has and will but when his program became stagnant he recognized it and brought Eric Ruffenach on board along with a handful of other new assistants and the program has been a 1000 times better and will continue to grow with next years seniors to be, maybe being the best class they have had in 10 years or so ...
So forget about wins and losses for a second and look at the inner workings of this thing and take a look at what these guys do for these kids..
A ton of these kids look to these coaches for wayyyyyy more than the teaching of football , they look at these coaches as fathers , big brothers and mentors because that is exactly how these coaches treat there players at UD - they take them in as family !!!
And to the people who want to come on here and say “a school that big should be a state power year in and year out” with that !!
These guys go above and beyond in every category they can to put these kids on the rt track to be successful in life and the kids realize that !!
These coaches and there families take these kids in and mentor them as good and probably better than any staff around and that obviously has gone unnoticed in this “stellar” school district / lol
The situation at Upper Darby is a complete circus right now and the only people who look like respectable class individuals are the guys who are getting showed the door and there players who are handling this with class and dignity
If anyone in that school district wants to really figure out how to improve things and help those kids , you might want to sit down with coach Gentile and coach Ruffenach and get a few pointers on how it’s done !!!!
