"Penn College was able to garner six Coach of the Year awards, and obviously they went to teams that won championships," said Mike Stanzione, college director of athletics.

"We have a great coaching staff at Penn College. All 15 head coaches and our seven assistant coaches do a great job," he continued.

"At our recent sports banquet, I commented that, obviously, we have great student-athletes at Penn College, but what makes it all go is the tremendous array of coaches we have on staff here. They work hard and do a fabulous job, working with the kids countless hours and putting in time so that the student-athletes have a great experience. The result of that formula turns out to be winning seasons," Stanzione added.
