Pennsylvania Off-season Program Outlook: Fleetwood

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2022 Recap</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Head Coach</strong>: Steve Pangburn</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coach Steve Pangburn 1st season as Head Coach Fleetwood went 2-8. The record might reflect a poor performance on the field, but coach Pangburn built a strong family culture around the program last year. Playing in the new Lancaster-Lebanon League after the Berks merged into the Lancaster-Lebanon League Fleetwood was not able to win any games in Section 3 of the Lancaster-Lebanon League. The positive is most of the top players return and they are eager to be successful this year on the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key Losses</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trey Wamsher-DB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Owen Kotsch</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key Returning Players</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='618711' first='Czion' last='Brickle']-RB/LB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='142832' first='Jack' last='Riffle']-QB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jason Petition-RB/DB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='377366' first='Hunter' last='Svoboda']-OL/DL</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='256294' first='Mason' last='Musitano']- WR/DB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Landon Hare</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Quote from new Defensive Coordinator Jason Spitler</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"Team is maturing and getting stronger and we will drastically improve this season.

Fleetwood returns QB [player_tooltip player_id='142832' first='Jack' last='Riffle'], RB [player_tooltip player_id='618711' first='Czion' last='Brickle'], Jason Petition RB, WR [player_tooltip player_id='256294' first='Mason' last='Musitano'], and OL/DL [player_tooltip player_id='377366' first='Hunter' last='Svoboda']. That is a ton of talent that should help Fleetwood have a strong year. In particular, having a returning QB is really helpful. Riffle especially showed a ton of skills last year. The other thing is Head Coaches teams usually make a big jump in year 2, so I expect Fleetwood to show some good improvement this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
