Unless I missed something this article needs to be better researched! Here’s a quote. “Former Coach Gabe Infante believed better competition would propel his program to another level. That philosophy has paid off as the Hawks enter the season as the #11 team in USA Today Super 25….etc, etc”
In truth the program was elevated to another level before Infante got there by Gil Brooks (1992….162-57-2, 18 yrs), making it his philosophy, not Infante’s “that paid off for the Hawks.” No horse in the race being from D3 but let’s give credit where credit is due. Coach Brooks should get all the credit, others for continuing his philosophy.
Coach started early in his career at SJP playing Gonzaga in 96 and North Penn in 99 before expanding in 2001 to play CB West, Malvern and Holy Cross-NJ. 2002 saw the same opponents before adding Beca and Poly (Brooklyn)….also HC-NJ again in 2003. Here’s a few more examples.
2004 Pitt CC, St. Ignatius, Poly-Brooklyn
2005 Nesh, Iggy, Gilman School when GS was good
2006 Nesh, Don Bosco Prep, Davidson-OH
2007 North Penn, DBP
2008 Parkland, St Ants-NY, North Penn
2009 McKees, St. Peters-NJ, NP
