A year to remember
SALEM – When Salem began summer football practice under new head coach Mike Kopachy, many were optimistic about the future. Most knew his pedigree coming from Western Reserve, but few realistically expected him to turn around a Quaker team that went 0-10 last year so quick. What transpired over the next few months is a story that gave, not only the community of Salem, but all of the Mahoning Valley, a reason to stand up and cheer for the Quakers. United under the leadership of nine seniors and a boatload of talented underclassmen, the 2009 Salem Quaker football team began a history making journey. Seniors Dillon Rhodes, Ben Eisel, Randall Baker, Mike Brown, Sam Schuster, Justin Adams, Pete Anderson, Matt Taylor and Anthony Fast all hand a hand in bringing this team together as a team and a brotherhood. "It's really a great feeling," Kopachy said.
