Wilson’s Millen, Northern Lehigh’s Amorim in record books
Jackson Millen is all of 5-foot-8, 160 pounds. He is a freshman. He is in the Wilson football record books eight games into his career.
The linebacker was in on a school-record 23 tackles in last Saturday’s loss to Bangor. Millen broke Chuck Reiss’ 41-yearold record of 22 set in a 1980 game against Southern Lehigh.
Millen leads the Warriors this season with 76 tackles.
Northern Lehigh senior athlete Trevor Amorim also put his name in the record book. His 63 receiving yards in last Friday’s win over Pen Argyl gave him 1,471 career yards, breaking Duke Lilly’s school mark of 1,443 set 53 years ago.
Amorim needs 12 receptions and five touchdown catches to equal other Bulldogs program records.
Saucon Valley senior Ty Csencsits broke Nate Harka’s school record (1,302) for career receiving yardage. Csencsits also is closing in the program marks for receptions (83) and receiving touchdowns (17).
North Schuylkill’s Josh Chowansky is the program’s career rushing leader after getting 71 yards in a win over Salisbury. The senior now has 3,045 in his career, breaking the previous mark of 2,993. His 32 TDs are eight shy of the Spartans’ career mark.
