York Dukes high school football

Don Gelsomino, defensive coordinator at York for the past four seasons – the last two ending in back-to-back Class 8A semifinal appearances, has been promoted to become the Dukes' next head coach.

Mike Fitzgerald wasn't looking to move from York after back-to-back historic seasons, but once an opportunity to return to Marist came up, Fitzgerald thought going back to where his high school coaching career started made the most sense.

York coach Mike Fitzgerald is heading back to Marist to take over the RedHawks program, the school announced Monday. The move comes after the school also announced that Marist coach Ron Dawczak decided to leave the head coach position.
