Phil is entering his 8th season as the head coach of the Huntingdon Bearcats. He, his wife of 33 years Mary Jane, and his 2 children are all passionate about soccer. He can also be reached at his cell phone at 814-599-0956,
"I take great pride in the Huntingon community and the youth involved in our soccer programs. I am honored to be coaching the young men in the high school and continuing to coach in our youth programs. Philosophically, my goal is to instill a life long love of the sport of soccer in the culture of the youth of Huntingdon. Hopefully, this will translate into a commitment from the players to give back to the communities they migrate to after graduation as soccer coaches, mentors, referees, or volunteers in soccer programs. I can't tell you how much the support of my family means to me in this undertaking!"
Bearcat Pride!
