Former Gov. Mifflin Football Player Takes 'Unreal' Journey to Syracuse (readingeagle.com' Drago)
Mick Vecchio didn't believe what he was seeing on his stopwatch. The Gov. Mifflin football coach figured he must have screwed something up.
He had Trey Dunkelberger run another 40-yard dash and called over two assistant coaches to watch as well.
