Father-Son Duo Aims for Championship Glory

Jack McHale, a lifelong supporter of the Dunmore Buck football program, is set to play his senior season under his father, Head Coach Kevin McHale. This father-son collaboration is a cherished experience as they work towards championship goals. Jack, inspired by his father's legacy, aims to uphold the program's tradition, which boasts over 700 wins. He acknowledges the advantage of having his father as a coach, leading to tougher scrutiny that ultimately makes him a better player.

The Dunmore Bucks return a talented and experienced roster, including several athletes who medaled in PIAA Class 2A track and field, bringing speed and athleticism. The offensive line, averaging 6 feet 1 inch and 239 pounds, is also returning with strong chemistry, having dedicated significant offseason work. The team's first scrimmage is scheduled for August 22, with their season opener on August 28.

Separately, the Susquehanna Sabers are entering the upcoming season with newfound confidence under head coach Kyle Cook. The team appears more prepared than in the previous year, with key players like Gabe Maby and Mason Keyes returning. Maby, a quarterback/running back, and Keyes, a seasoned playmaker, are among the seven starters back on offense and defense. The Sabers are focused on family camaraderie and physical readiness to improve their standing in the LFC Division III.
