Freeport brought in a King to lead its offense.
Longtime Knoch football coach Mike King will take over as Freeport’s offensive coordinator this fall, adding more than two decades of experience to the Yellowjackets’ coaching staff.
King coached Knoch for 19 seasons, resigning after the 2016 season. He led the Knights to an 86-103 record and eight playoff appearances, including a WPIAL Class AAA runner-up finish in 2011. He also was Knoch’s athletic director.
Quarterback Austin Romanchak, running back Conor Selinger, wide receiver Isiah Bauman and tight end Garret Schaffhauser are among the returning skill players for Freeport, which finished 7-3 in 2017, taking second place in the Class 3A Allegheny Conference and falling in the first round of the WPIAL playoffs.
