Head Coach: Steve Pangburn
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.

Season Outlook:
Fleetwood is coming off a rough season with a 2-8 record, but a ton of players got valuable experience and it should benefit them this year. Fleetwood returns QB Jack Riffle Jack Riffle 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Fleetwood | 2024 State PA , RB Czion Brickle Czion Brickle 5'10" | 175 lbs | ATH Fleetwood | 2024 State PA , Jason Petition RB, WR Mason Musitano Mason Musitano 6'3" | 165 lbs | ATH Fleetwood | 2024 State PA , and OL/DL Hunter Svoboda Hunter Svoboda 6'7" | 240 lbs | OL Fleetwood | 2024 State PA . 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.
