W&J, Waynesburg, dominate 2014 All-PAC football selections

by

The Presidents Athletic Conference announced their all-conference teams this week and as expected quite a few local players dominated the list.

Highlighted by six first-team selections, the Washington & Jefferson football team placed 18 players on the All-PAC football teams and head coach Mike Sirianni earned his third-consecutive Coach of the Year award. Sirianni holds a winning percentage of .815 in his 12th season as head coach.

W&J wasn’t the only successful team to get some recognition as the Waynesburg Yellow Jackets produced five first-team members, 17 overall selections and won the 2014 PAC Football Team Sportsmanship Award.
