2021 Season Recaps – District 3: Central York

We’re back with our 2021 season recaps in District 3 with the Central York Panthers who put together another fantastic season to follow up their 2020 State Runner Up season. <strong>Schedule:</strong> <strong>August 28: </strong>35-28 win over Exeter Township <strong>September 3: </strong>21-3 win over Cumberland Valley <strong>September 10: </strong>35-21 win over Hempfield <strong>September 17: </strong>Red Lion forfeited <strong>September 24: </strong>68-21 win over Dover <strong>October 1: </strong>60-0 win over South Western <strong>October 8: </strong>48-17 win over Spring Grove <strong>October 15: </strong>53-7 win over Northeastern <strong>October 22: </strong>31-21 win over Dallastown <strong>October 29: </strong>60-14 win over William Penn <strong>November 5: </strong>26-14 win over Manheim (District 3 Playoffs) <strong>November 12:</strong> 14-11 loss to Wilson (District 3 Playoffs) The Panther entered the season as one of the top programs in Pennsylvania’s 6A classifications and lived up to every bit of their hype in the preseason. Throughout the regular season, they left little doubt of their potential, and if they were the better team, their closest win coming against Exeter in their season opener.  Outside of that victory, most of their wins came in pure dominance, especially after their week three defeat of Hempfield. Once they got their proverbial feet under them, there was no looking back for the Panthers in the regular season. In their opening matchup of the District III playoffs, they defeated a quality Manheim Township team 26-14 but would be tripped up in the District 3 Semi-finals as they fell to Wilson 14-11. Despite the disappointing end of the season and the upset loss, it was still another fantastic season for the Panthers. It was their second-straight 10+ win season and their third straight season that they went undefeated in York-Adams League play. <h5><strong>Notable Prospects:</strong></h5> &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Class of 2022:</strong></span> <strong>No.9 QB [player_tooltip player_id="27576" first="Beau" last="Pribula"]</strong> Our top-ranked quarterback in the class of 2022 and our ninth-ranked prospect overall had his best high school season as a senior. The Penn State early enrollee completed 71.6% of his passing attempts (141-for-197) for 2,575 yards and 33 touchdowns to just six interceptions. He added 417 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground throughout the season as well. Pribula is a special quarterback prospect and has the proverbial "moxie" about him that could make him quite the player at the next level. <strong>No.154 LB [player_tooltip player_id="156288" first="Carter" last="Glassmyer"]</strong> Our 154th ranked player overall, Glassmyer is headed to Saint Francis to play his college ball after a productive career and senior season for Central York. As a senior, Glassmyer recorded 126 tackles and two interceptions in just eight games played. He finished his career with the Panthers with 239 career tackles including four sacks and three interceptions. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Class of 2023:</strong></span> <strong>No.53 WR [player_tooltip player_id="87843" first="Parker" last="Hines"]</strong> Hines junior season for Central york was a really strong one, taking a big step from his sophomore season. Hines recorded 36 receptions for 619-yards and nine touchdowns. He averaged 17.2 yards per reception, a solid bump over his 13.3 yards per reception from a season ago. <strong>No.368 OL [player_tooltip player_id="160571" first="Danny" last="Pham"]</strong> Pham is a really nice offensive lineman and has some upside on the defensive side of the ball as well. A strong athlete, I’ll be keeping a close eye on Pham and will be rewatching his film this spring. Really like his overall upside and could definitely rise up the rankings. <strong>No.410 RB [player_tooltip player_id="248159" first="Ajani" last="Walker"] </strong> Walker put together a solid junior season, recording 86 carries for 495-yards and five touchdowns. He also added three receptions for 32-yards. Walker is a smaller back at 5-foot-8 and 188-pounds but really makes up for any lack of size as being a tough runner with great athleticism. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Class of 2024:</strong></span> <strong>No.85 RB [player_tooltip player_id="255055" first="Juelz" last="Goff"]</strong> Another smaller running back at 5-foot-8 and 185-pounds, Goff is a lot like Walker in being a strong run downhill runner with some nice athleticism and elusiveness to his game as well. As a sophomore, Goff recorded 87 carries for 507 yards and eight touchdowns.
