The Pennsylvania Football Writers named their top players today in Class 5A. Whitehall and East Stroudsburg South added one each to the All-State Team.
What a year this has been for Whitehall. After going winless in 2019, they turned it around and finished with a 5A District Title. Leading the way for the Zephyrs was quarterback Quinn Wentling. He was second in the EPC in rushing with 741 yards, averaging 8.7 yards per carry, and scored seven touchdowns. He also passed for 1,365 yards and 12 touchdowns leading his team.
One of the most explosive players up in the Poconos was East Stroudsburg South’s Christian Sapp. He caught 15 passes for 338 yards and five touchdowns in just four games. A Villanova recruit, Sapp finished his career with 105 receptions for 1,933 yards and 26 touchdowns. The catches and yardage are school records.
