MECHANCISBURG, PA (WTAJ) — Dave Baker, and Max Shoemaker were apart of the Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Association Class 2025. The two area coaches were among seven honored over the weekend.
Baker, who retired after the 2023 season, won 245 games at the helm of Williamsburg and Central Martinsburg. He spent 45 years coaching football, though his winningest seasons came with the Scarlett Dragons. With Central, Baker went 119-42 in 13 seasons and is the school's winningest head coach.
Shoemaker is getting ready to being his 18th season with Chestnut Ridge, though he has more than 30-years of coaching under his belt. He started his career with Bedford before stepping down to serve as the school's principal. In 2007 he joined Ridge's staff and now has 221 wins across his career and 19 District 5 championships.
The two were among seven honored. Others include Wilson High head coach Doug Dahms, Schuylkill Valley's Bruce Harbach, Gateway High Schools' Don Holl, Mechanicsburg's late head coach Rich Lichtel, and former Lackawanna Trail and Lakeland head coach Jeff Wasilchak.
