PLAYER OF THE YEAR


   Brett Campbell, West York: Campbell could not have asked for a better closing to his high school career. He broke several West York receiving records this season with his 56 catches for 1,061 yards.

As if averaging nearly 100 yards receiving per game wasn't enough, Campbell's 13 touchdown catches put him among the top receivers in the state.

His campaign got off to a great start when he caught six passes for 190 yards and three TDs in the Bulldogs' opening week win against Central York.

COACH OF THE YEAR


   Ron Miller, West York: It's becoming an annual award for Miller, whose Bulldogs won their fourth straight YAIAA Division II title, and finished 8-3 on the season.

Every year West York graduates key players, only to have Miller find the replacement parts and push all the right buttons on the machine.
