COACH OF THE YEAR

Chris Scharff

Dallas

After resigning last offseason and moving to Florida, Scharff moved back to Pennsylvania and took back his position as Dallas head boys soccer coach in August, just in time to lead the Mountaineers to a District 2 3A title. With eight starters back this season, Scharff guided Dallas to its first District 2 championship since 2007, beating Crestwood 2-0.

Scharff led a Dallas team that saw three players land on the WVC Division 1 first team — Greenwood, Llyewellyn and Zach Holthaus — and a trio of athletes on the second team in Nico Deluca, Nate Maransky and Ricky Wooditch. Dallas was the lone team to win a District 2 title this season.

After winning the District 2 title, the Mountaineers fell to District 3’s Daniel Boone in the first round of the PIAA 3A playoffs.
