Scranton Prep has won nine of the last 11 district 2 Triple-A championships, including five straight titles and three appearances in the state quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
But is 2026 the year they take that next step?<\/p>\n
The Cavaliers will have a pool of talented skill players that will take them as far as they can go.<\/p>\n
Senior Braedon \u201c Tato\u201d McPartland is one of the best athletes in the Lackawanna football conference and he’ll see the ball a lot.<\/p>\n
Terry Gallagher, Scranton Prep head coach, says”I mean, I think Tato one of the best football players we’ve had here.<\/p>\n
I think he can do anything. He could play fullback, tailback. I mean, he could play tight end. There’s a lot there’s a lot of similarities that he shares with his brother. His brother obviously. You know, and we have to get him the ball in space.<\/p>\n
Braedon McPartland, Scranton Prep Senior added, \u201cEvery year we expect to win the district. We expect to go to states and win some games. I mean, if we fall short of that, I mean, it happens, but we expect to do big things every year, no matter who we have on our team. “<\/p>\n
Prep will rely on the speed of Noah Krzywiec who had over 800 yards of total offense and 6 touchdowns, Brandon Farmer and others on offense. but the biggest question marks are at quarterback and offensive line.<\/p>\n
Noah Krzywiec, Scranton Prep Senior says, “I think we have a very versatile offense. We have a lot of players that could do a lot of different things, and I think that makes us a very dangerous opponent to come against.<\/p>\n
the experience is key, I mean, we have a lot. It’s great to have a lot of older guys that could kind of guide the younger guys. And that’s why I think year after year we always are a powerhouse, because we just have older guys that teach the younger guys what’s what and show them the reins. And I think that makes us very good.<\/p>\n
Gallagher added, \u201c I’m pretty pleased with the offensive line. They’re going to make mistakes. We brought a lot of those guys up. They got their bells rung last year. They took their lumps last year because we wanted them to be ready for this year.<\/p>\n
Will rely on, you know, Chris Paris, obviously. We played a ton in Myers who played a ton. But Cosmo’s a senior who did a great job last year, had to deal with the injury bug. So it’s his turn to go. And then you have some of the younger guys.”<\/p>\n
Landon Sinkaus, Scranton Prep Senior says, \u201cThey’re young group. But, you know, we could rely on them because they work every day.<\/p>\n
You know, they come here, everybody knows their stuff. You know, we’re in the playbook a lot. So. And obviously we trust in coach and chef to get us right before the season.<\/p>\n
Once again Scranton Prep will play a challenging schedule with Loyola Blakefield, Trinity, Fairfield Prep and Delaware Valley in their first four games. “<\/p>\n
Krzywiec says, \u201c I think it really helps us facing those bigger teams from out of state because as we come into league play, I think that facing those bigger opponents, it really helps us like play against better competition. “<\/p>\n
