ROSTER
Highlands updated its record
books frequently in 2017,
with quarterback Seth Cohen
thriving in a pass-friendly
attack with five dependable
wide receivers.
Butwhile old program passing
and receiving marks fell
in favor of new ones, one crucial
statistic didn’t improve
enough, as the Golden Rams’
5-4 record kept them out of the
WPIAL playoffs for the second
consecutive year.
Ending that drought is top
of mind for Highlands as it enters
the second year of coach
Dom Girardi’s tenure.
“We’re not interested in
(individual) records,” Girardi
said. “We’re interested in the
team’s record. We’re interested
in a lot of things you can’t
put a stat to, like leadership
and intelligence and stuff like
that.”
Girardi said he liked his
players’ buy-in to new offensive
and defensive schemes,
and their dedication carried
over to offseason workouts.
“(There’s) a lot of hardwork
going on, getting in the weight
room, trying to get kids to
come in more and more because
we have a lot of young
kids coming up,” senior Cam
Taylor said. “We want to get
them in the swing…get them
lifting and get them a little bit
