Head coach Jason Sepkowski. PIAA District 2. Lackawanna 1. Abington Heights won the District 2 playoff game, 21-7.
Sepkowski’s fourth season was 6-5 and 4-3, third in Lackawanna 1. The hiring story the next winter pointed at the wins over Dunmore, Berwick, and Valley View, and at a second straight District 2 playoff trip.
Dunmore was 10-8, Berwick was 21-20, Scranton was 17-14 on the road, and Valley View was 20-3. The season ended with a 21-7 playoff loss at Abington Heights. The MaxPreps logs then show losses through all of 2011, all of 2012, and the first two games of 2013. On Nov. 5, senior quarterback Michael Craig made his first start for injured Jack Williams and completed 3 of 3 passes for 27 yards in North Pocono’s 20-3 win over Valley View.
