Led by the big boys up front, the Berks Catholic Saints won their first Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 5 ****** le since the merger in 2022.
That hardware was followed by a run to their first District 3 championship appearance since 2019. Unfortunately for the Saints, they fell 17-0 to Trinity in a tough loss.
"I was really proud of the kids. I thought we had a really good year," Saints coach Dave Stahler said at the Lancaster-Lebanon League media day in early August. "Trinity, that's a really good program. I thought we'd move the ball a little bit better, but we didn't. We shot ourselves in the foot on offense a little bit … and we struggled to cover them."
Even with coming up short at the end of the season, the Saints had a ton to hang their helmets on. In Stahler's third season at the helm, he has turned Berks Catholic back into a team to be feared.
Berks Catholic averaged more than 300 yards per game on the ground and allowed just eight points per game in its wins defensively. Talk about a well-rounded football team.
