BRADFORD, PA — Full rosters for the Big 30 Charities Classic have officially been announced and amongst the ranks that will suit up for Team New York will be a plethora of local talent.
While the current New York and Pennsylvania rosters that have been released are still subject to change, at the current moment only one other school in the Empire State (Franklinville/Ellicottville) will have more representation than Salamanca and Portville/Cuba-Rushford/Hinsdale.
The Warriors, after making a historic run to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Final this past fall, will have seven players looking to help lift New York to a second consecutive Big 30 Charities Classic title.
Cory Holleran (WR/S, 5-11, 175), Xavier Peters (RB/DE, 5-11, 175), Dakota Colts (WR/CB, 5-7, 165), Maddox Isaac (QB/CB/S, 6-0, 165), Kyle Lecceardone (WR/S, 5-10, 160), Zach Trietley (RB/FB/MLB, 6-0, 200) and Kruz Coustenis (C/DE/DT, 6-81, 185) will each represent Salamanca.
But the Warriors’ presence will not be limited to the field on Aug. 3 as the reigning Big 30 Football Coach of the Year, Salamanca’s Chad Bartoszek, is set to lead Team NY into battle.
Portville/Cuba-Rushford/Hinsdale will send seven players to the big game after a successful previous campaign in which they reached the Section 6 Class C Final.
The Panthers will be represented by Landen Schappacher (WR/S/CB, 5-9, 160), Brock Gagliardo (RB/FB/MLB, 6-0, 185), Maxx DeYoe (RB/MLB/OLB, 5-9, 160), Cole Kessler (RB/S, 5-5, 150), Breckham Hunt (RB/FB/DE, 5-9, 200), Kadin Pierce (G/T/TE/FB/DE, 6-0, 180) and Henry Chamberlain (G/DT, 5-10, 215).
Olean is set to send three players to the Big 30 game. Manoah Miketish (RB/FB/OLB, 5-11, 180), Noah Gallo (RB/FB/MLB, 5-6, 150) and Jacksen Kahm (G/DE, 5-10, 180) will represent the Huskies.
Allegany-Limestone will have two players present at the game. Suiting up from the Gators will be Gavin Straub (TE/WR/DE, 6-84, 185) and Zane Gleason (RB/FB/TE/MLB, 6-0, 180).
