Williamsport football nearly in playoffs
When the current Williamsport seniors were freshmen they went 8-2. It was then they became convinced they could accomplish great things when they reached varsity. What they might not have considered was how soon they would be asked to make those significant contributions. When Tom Gravish was named coach in 2007, he inherited a team short on experience but big on potential. Several sophomores who had played ninth-grade football the previous season found themselves going toe-to-toe with perennial playoff teams like Berwick, State College, Hazleton and Wyoming Valley West. Gravish had no choice but to throw those kids into the fire and they took their lumps, finishing 0-10. Williamsport went 2-8 and lost two other games by four points or fewer last year, but those one-time freshmen never lost their confidence or quit working hard. Now all that hard work and dedication is paying off. The Millionaires are 6-3 and have clinched their first winning season since 2002.
