SCHOOL ROUNDUP

FOOTBALL

Abington announced that Ed Reilly has been named as the new head football coach, replacing Jim Kelliher, who retired following a historic 50-year run.

Reilly has been part of the program as an assistant since 1997, the last 22 as offensive coordinator and associate head coach. A graduate of Abington, Reilly played his college football at Holy Cross, where he was part of a 1990 Patriot League championship team.

“I am excited and honored to continue the legacy that coach Kelliher has built with Green Wave football, and I am fortunate to have been able to learn from him as both a player and as his assistant coach,” Reilly said. “I look forward to continuing to use the game of football to help student-athletes find success on and off the field in a town which has meant so much to me and my family. I am excited to get to work.”
