BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Bethlehem Catholic football won eight games under first-year head coach; now they are looking to take the next step.

Axel Burkart is the returning signal-caller. He threw for 12 touchdowns and 1475 yards last season. Towson University commit Carter Vassa will be Burkart’s top weapon. He is locked in for the fall.

“Finishing in big games. In the late quarters really well. Just taking the next step and finishing out games and winning,” Vassa said.

Bethlehem Catholic opens with Delaware Valley on Aug. 28th.
