What King brought to the Stallions was a tremendous amount of coaching expertise and a unique proven track record for motivating players both on the field and in the classroom.
He previously served as wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator for nine years. He was on staff during the Stallions’ three state championships — in 2007, 2009, and 2011 — a run that also included two additional trips to the state finals.
For the past nine years, this program not only didn’t make a run at state, but they hadn’t had a winning season since 2015. In that time there had been five different head coaches.
After a 3-1 start last season, the program went on a six-game losing streak, ending the year 3-7.
If this team is to turn a corner, it will certainly be on the shoulders of a 2025 (rising seniors) class that has some talent as well as leadership.
Here is a look at some of those 2025 prospects:
Greg Demattia, TE/DE, 6-2, 200.
Carmine Gioiosa, OL/DE/TE, 6-1, 240.
Mason Kasten, QB/Athlete, 6-1, 180.
Trey Pisciotto, WR/DB, 6-1, 170.
Sean Siska Sean Siska 6'1" | 165 lbs | QB Delray American Heritage | 2025 FL , QB/Athlete, 6-2, 170.
Jack Wiggington, LB/RB, 5-11, 205 – 4.7 GPA.
THE FUTURE IS UP TO THE RISING JUNIORS’
While the 2025 class will be counted on heavily, keep an eye on some Class of 2026 rising juniors, who are anxious to help to turn things around.
