Jeff Chillot-Hamburg

There are several quality quarterbacks in Section 2 of the Berks Football League this year. The Hawks faced Logan Klitsch of Conrad Weiser last week and now they’re preparing for Tanner Maddocks of Fleetwood. Klitsch is committed to Dartmouth and Maddocks is going to Villanova. Fortunately, the Hawks have a talented QB as well in 6’4 junior Xander Menapace. Head coach Jeff Chillot talked about Menapace, as well as star running back Diohnny Ruiz. I asked Chillot how he’s dealing with so many injuries. The Hawks are (5-2) and currently #3 in the District 3-3A power rankings. The top eight teams will advance to the playoffs. Hamburg is trying to reach the District 3 playoffs for the 7th time in school history. Chillot likes the way his team continues to battle even when trailing in the second half. The Hawks’ offense piled up 429 yards last week in a 31-27 loss to Conrad Weiser.
