Chelan Places Two on State 1A All-State Team

Regular readers of High School Cover 2 will know that Chelan Head Coach Darren Talley is a regular contributor to the blog, faithfully posting a synopsis of his team's game each week.  Below is his final posting for the 2011 season.  Directly below coach Talley's submission is a short congratulations from Jim on another fine season for the Chelan Mountain Goats.  All coaches and supporters are reminded that they are welcome and encouraged to report on the progress of their team during the season.  To date, coach Talley is the only one to take us up on that offer.  High School Cover 2 will willingly post any article we deem to be appropriate.

FYI: We will post the all-state team in each division in our next post.  Stand by to see if your team was represented this year.


Congratulations to two Chelan football players:  1st Team All State
Linebacker Cole Schwartz and Honorable Mention All State Quarterback
Michael Amsel Jr.  What a great honor to be selected amongst the best
in the entire state 1A division.  Four players from the CTL were
honored.  We are very proud of our two Chelan boys for all their hard
work this past season.  They both deserve the All State recognition.

Cole Schwartz was an Honorable Mention All State Linebacker selection
last season in 2010.  Cole Schwartz broke his own Chelan High School
single season tackle record with 170 tackles (solo and assist).  His
sophomore season he set the school record with 153 tackles (solo and
assist).  Michael Amsel Jr. had a great QB year throwing for 1296
yards, 18 TD's, with only 2 interceptions.  Michael also, rushed for
938 yards (9.38 yard per carry average) and had 11 rushing TD's.

Sincerely, Coach Darren Talley
   
Congratulations on the selection of both of your players.  It
is not only a tribute to them but to you and your coaching staff.  May
the awards keep coming.  Congratulations again.  Jim Olsen
