Class AA All-State

Trinity made a run at pulling even with Camp Hill in terms of postseason football honors but failed to pull it off.

The Associated Press announced the Class AA All-State football team Tuesday evening and two Trinity seniors made the cut.

West Virginia-bound lineman Nick Kindler was selected as a first-team offensive lineman while Christian Kuntz, headed to Penn State, made it as a first-team defensive specialist.

Kuntz, who was lost for the season Oct. 11 after suffering a knee injury, had 17 total tackles and a team-high five interceptions that he returned for 123 yards.

At 6-foot-6, 280 pounds, Kindler was a force on the both the offensive and defensive lines for the Shamrocks, who finished the regular season 7-3. Trinity was the only team to beat Lancaster Catholic prior to the Crusaders' loss to West Catholic in the PIAA Class AA semifinals.

Trinity ended in a tie with Camp Hill for second in the Mid-Penn Patriot Division behind Steelton-Highspire and fell to Middletown, the eventual district runner-up, in the District 3 Class AA playoffs.

Wilmington's Terry Verrelli, who led the Greyhounds to the PIA Class AA title, was named coach of the year. Curtis Drake, quarterback for state runner-up West Catholic, is the player of the year.
