1st Annual Tri-State Award

Tri-State Coach of the YearFrank Girardi, Lycoming College The standard for great coaches, Vince Lombardi once said, is consistency. It is one thing to have a great season, he said, but it is another to be great for a generation. "To have (players) come and go and still maintain that level of excellence is the biggest challenge for a coach," said Lombardi, who built the Great Bay Packers dynasty of the 1960s. "You have to be consistent in your approach, even though every season is different. You have to find a way to make all the pieces fit."

Lycoming, from Williamsport, will play another Pennsylvania college, Allegheny from Meadville, for the championship next Saturday at Bradenton, Fla., in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl.
