SEBRING, Ohio (WKBN) – Anthony Agresta takes over a Sebring program which has not had a winning season in thirty years (1992: 6-4). Agresta is the 11th coach since the beginning of the 1992 campaign to lead the Trojans.
Coach Agresta led the Steubenville Catholic Central football program for the last three years but stepped down, this past February, to be closer to family in the Youngstown-area. He founded The Father’s Heart Elementary School and later served as the principal of Youngstown Christian.
Agresta states, “The administration and school community have been very welcoming and supportive”.
The new coaching staff returns seven letter winners. “The off-season workouts have been extremely productive,” indicates coach Agresta. “The students are working hard to learn new systems and terminology on both sides of the ball. [We’re] making numerous decisions as to player personnel and positioning [currently].”
Sebring enters the 2022 season without their top two playmakers – Noah Frederick (1569 rushing yards) and Elijah Frederick (818 rushing yards) – who have since graduated.
The Trojans open the 2022 campaign with a home date scheduled against Lincoln West.
