Former Valley West coach Pat Keating on Judge: “Sean Judge did just about everything for our football team for the 4 years he was with us. He started making impact plays as early as his freshmen year, and he consistently made big plays in big moments in the biggest of games throughout his entire career. His stats basically tell the whole story. He contributed heavily in multiple facets in all 3 phases of the game. I think when talking about impact players, it’s not only fair to put Sean at the top of the list from this past decade, it’s fair to put him on that list from any era of football in Northeast PA.”
