Archbishop Spalding coach Mike Whittles reports that at least 10 of his players from this past year’s Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association B Conference runners-up are planning to play football in
college.
“I am most proud of the academic
achievements for these athletes. Spalding continues to
stress strong academics in preparation for college, and these players are
well prepared,” said Whittles, whose Cavaliers were two-time champions prior to last season.
“This is the highest number by far of football players from
a single class going on to play in college,” Whittles said. “Over the last three years, we have
had hundreds of college coaches come to school and speak with our players.
Archbishop Spalding football has come a long way. These students are
awesome.”
