Penncrest’s school-record setting 2014 season came at a steep price, with Paul Norris having to replace 10 of the seniors who backstopped that 14-win performance.
This fall’s follow-up effort will be anchored on opposite edges of the pitch – by All-Central goalie Liam Thomas and highly-touted, well-coiffed forward Sam Brown, who was injured last season but notched 10 goals as a freshman. The rest of Norris’ team will flow around those two, a characteristic corps of technically-sound, solid-but-not-spectacular players like Zac Groses, Shea Morgan, Ryan Schultz and Charlie Simpson who will form the backbone. Freshman Max Brown could contribute this season for the Lions, who will play their games on the new turf at Louis Scott Field.
