Reilly is expected to be out 10-12 weeks. The 2014 season saw Nichols have an injury free season for the first time since signing with the Esk...

Made of darkly-stained wooden slats, it contains the names of past coaches who put in enough time to earn their way into the 20-year coaching club. Notable among them is Leroy Lemaster who spent the better part of 50 years making the school a tennis power. John Giannandrea had 24 seasons on the sidelines for the Cardinals in football and is their all-time winning grid guy. Softball mentor, and...
