Pleasant Valley's Chris Ward voted 2026 Pocono Record Offensive Player of the Year

What would've happened if Chris Ward never chose to play football for Pleasant Valley? We'll never know. Instead, Ward's talents earned him the 2026 Pocono Record Offensive Player of the Year Award, as voted on by the area's six football coaches for his regular-season performance. Ward did everything for the Bears this season, recording 1,436 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns on 9 yards per carry, while also throwing a few passing touchdowns. Ward's single-season rushing total is the second-best mark in program history, only 50 yards shy of Michael Mitchell's record set in 2016. Pleasant Valley head coach Blaec Saeger said it took some convincing for Ward, who also plays lacrosse, to give football a chance in his early high school days. Thankfully for Saeger, he was persuasive enough to get the pads on him, and the rest is history. "I can't say enough good things about that kid," Saeger said. "And it is true — as a sophomore, I had to talk him back onto the football team, but he is a kid who bought into it. He's a kid who loves it. He's a kid who I love, man. He's just an amazing person. "He's the kid who
