We Recognize and Honor Coach Cipriano for his Service!

Coach Cipriano Announces Retirement after 58 Years with the Big Red!

 The Souderton Football Community extends our sincere “congratulations” and gratitude to Coach Cirpriano (Coach Cip) for his time and tremendous  devotion to Souderton Football. After 58 years of coaching at Souderton Area High School, Coach Cip announced his retirement in the off-season. Known for his honesty of player critique (both good and bad!), he also had the uncanny ability to crack a joke at the right moment to keep the atmosphere light when they needed it and the words to fire the team up especially before big games. Coach Ed Gallagher said, “the kids absolutely love having him around.” 

 

Throughout his 58 year career of coaching the defensive line, Coach Cip touched countless lives instilling the virtues of hard work, teamwork, perseverance, and excellence. His legacy extends far beyond the field as he not only taught his players about football, but life. 

 

Tom Gonce, senior captain said, “Coach Cipriano is the definition of an old school dog. Coolest and most composed coach I’ve ever played with. Every game he would lift us all up and tell us to stop complaining and whining and play like men. He always shared anecdotes of the old school football days and how they would run on the train tracks. Coach Cip always said don’t let the dead dog bite you in the butt referring to giving bad teams life. He always wanted us to hit hard and fast all game. He is a legend in our program.” 

 

Thank you Coach Cipriano for making everyone better around you!
