Seniors honored at banquet
Coach Rosenberger announces seniors and award winners at the Jan. 11 2009 banquet.
The Jim Thorpe Area High School football program held its annual banquet Jan. 11, 2009 at the high school. The banquet is an opportunity to congratulate all 72 football players and honor those who have displayed outstanding leadership, athletic success and academic achievement.
Coach Rosenberger started the banquet recapping the 6-4 season which ended with key victories against Marian and Lehighton. Rosenberger said the 2008 record wasn’t what he wanted but quoting a fellow coach he said, “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.” Rosenberger said he’ll accept that this year since we did crush Marian and Lehighton which means a lot to our program and our community.
