Who will leave a playoff legacy?

CRAIG S. McKIBBEN JR/Sun-Gazette Ryan Jones’ play on both sides of the line will be critical to South’s chances in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
November 9, 2007

Two years ago, Montoursville’s Luke Trick began the season as a back-up running back, carrying the ball just 10 times in his team’s first four games.

Then came Week 5 against Loyalsock. An injury to Garrett Cillo opened the door for Trick and he responded by rushing for a school-record 311 yards. By season’s end Trick was a 1,000-yard rusher who helped Montoursville reach the PIAA Class AA semifinals.

That’s the great thing about sports: you never know who is going to step forward and play a big role.
