Class A coach of the year—Tom Nola, Clairton.
This is the biggest joke ever. I don't see this guy improving anyone's character or preparing anyone for 'the real world' outside of Clairton.
Why doesn't sarcastic sword use his real name when he calls into radio shows in the morning?
Just want to say congrats to Mike Hull and Bryan Thomas..yall did a great job in your high school football career...Take it to the next level guys..show them wat Western Pa is about..Washington Co..has 2 stong men going to that next level..
Hey Mike, Dylan Bongiorni dropped out of Burgettstown and enrolled at West Allegheny today. FYI
I am not the "sarcastic sword" who calls into radio shows......Ive never called a radio show....I think the handle is cool which is why I use it....The guy that has been calling radio shows for 20+ years is much, much older than me....
Coach of the year Tom Nola a joke? Listen, this award isnt given out to mediocre coaches who produce good guys...if it were Dalton would probably get it. Tom's record over the past decade cant be argued. The guy won 3 WPIAL titles in 4 years and won the first state title in school history. yes, he deserves it.
Haters...Congratulate the Coach and the kids who made the AP all-state footballl team. This blog should be filled with kudos...
Bongiorni has enrolled at West Allegheny today. It is now a done deal. His leaving Burgettstown coinsided with the new football conferences, where many think Burgettstown will not win a game. Mrs Bongiorni also works with Mrs Palko who's husband is the football coach at West Allegheny.
