WEB FEATURE: Daniel Boone Football The day Dave Bodolus was hired to be the head football coach of the Daniel Boone football team was the day a major transformation began to take place. Football suddenly started to matter, and people around town started to take notice. Attitudes started to change, and all of a sudden young men wanted to play football for Coach Bodolus, and be a part of a winning program. In his seven years as the head coach, Daniel Boone is 58-24, and a fixture in the District 3 playoffs. People in Berks County now know all about the program, and no longer think of the Blazers as an automatic win. Daniel Boone coach Dave Bodolus and QB Jon Monteiro The Blazers came into the 2009 season with some very high expectations, and rightfully so. After another successful season in 2008, and record-breaking QB Jon Monteiro back under center, with a year's experience under his belt, things were looking extremely bright. Dave Bodolus used his high powered offense to score points in bunches, and give opposing coaches major headaches. According to Bodolus, "Jon has the rare ability to focus....make great decisions....and lead his team." Monteiro didn't disappoint his coach or teammates, as he led the Blazers to a 9-3 record, and a near upset of perennial powerhouse Manheim Central in the second round of the Disrtict 3 playoffs. Monteiro's stats: 2009 155 completions--2179 yards--28 TDs 2008 190 completions--2999 yards--34 TDs Career 345 completions--5178 yards--62 TDs
