Salisbury names Andy Cerco new football coach

FROM KEITH GROLLER

Here's the release sent out tonight by Salisbury athletic director Monica Deeb:

The Salisbury Township School District has approved Andy Cerco as its new varsity football coach. Cerco replaces former coach Rob Sawicki who resigned in November.



Cerco, who began his coaching career at Salisbury back in 2001, has been an assistant coach at Parkland High School for the last four seasons. He is looking forward to taking over the football program at Salisbury High School, where he has been a special education teacher since 2005.



“I am extremely excited about the opportunity and challenge to be serving as the varsity football coach at Salisbury High School,” Cerco said. “I feel that Salisbury is a great community to build a successful football program within. I look forward to working with the current players, and hope to increase participation as we move forward.”



Cerco is a 2002 Moravian College graduate and played football at Moravian under then coach Scot Dapp. Upon graduation from Moravian, he assisted at Salisbury three seasons before moving on to Central Catholic, Moravian College, Southern Lehigh and finally Parkland, where he has served as the co-defensive coordinator under head coach Jim Morgans the previous two years.



“In my coaching career so far, I have been involved with some great people particularly Coach Dapp, Jim Morgans, Sam Senneca and Jim Cantafio,’’ Cerco said. “In working with these men, I have been able to understand many aspects of organizing and maintaining successful football programs.”
