Sheffield Lake, Ohio – In 2003, new Shoremen head coach Matt Kostelnik won a State Football Championship with Avon Lake under departed former coach Dave Dlugosz, now he replaces him.
The former All- American at Mount Union will lead the Shoremen, who come off an incredible playoff run in 2016, that included a memorable 27-26 last second victory over arch rival Avon.
A stingy Avon Lake defense returns 6 starters, anchored by Safety Andrew Butrey, whose late interception in the waning seconds, sealed the upset of Avon in last seasons’ playoff thriller.
A new QB and changes in the offensive line will take some time to gel with their spread offense, but 4 offensive starters return which should be able to quickly ease the transition.

Caleb Burr, WR/RB/CB, Sr.
Andrew Butrey, WR/S, Sr.
Ryan Beckman, G, 6-3, Jr.
