Troy Minnich – Goalie

Pennridge High School
League: Suburban One National
Head Coach: Kevin Banks, 2nd year
Last year’s record: 6-12
Key returnees:
Blake Schoenmeier, Sr- M
Sean Fechter Jr- A
Ethan Clemmer Sr – A
Chris Dachowski Sr – D
Stephen Puras – Sr A
Coach’s outlook: “We are looking to improve on last year’s season with players that received a lot of varsity experience as underclassmen. Sean Fechter and Stephen Puras lead the attack end of the field with seniors Chris Dachowski and Aaron Crossin anchoring our defense. Seniors Ethan Clemmer and Blake Schoenmeier are throwback two way middies who are potent offensive threats while playing strong defense for us.
“With the addition of our new offensive coordinator / assistant coach Chris Fechter we look to be more disciplined and potent on the offensive half of the field allowing us to play less minutes on defense than we have in previous seasons. Our goal is to continue to improve in Suburban One and earn the right to participate in the PIAA playoffs.”
