Keyport Red Raiders 2014 Preview

Chase Bright has a new position and looks to lead the Red Raiders to a winning season under first year head coach John Paczkowski

Rich’s Take

Coach Paczkowski mentioned the blue collar work ethic of the communities of Union Beach and Keyport and I got to see it up close. After a long practice, the Red Raiders players ran through gassers without a single complaint. Since this is my first year, I do not know what Keyport was like in the Mike Ciccotelli era, but the kids have without question bonded with coach Paczkowski and the entire staff. That’s a huge challenge to replace a hall of famer, but with a college coaching background and plenty of stops in New Jersey high school football, the new head coach has clearly made a stamp on this program already. If you get the chance to talk to Chase Bright, you want to root for him to have a great season and chase that dream of playing college football. He’s got a great frame and I think he could make a great tight end in college.
