The Niagara Falls Wolverines captured the team's first Niagara Frontier League title in exactly one decade on Wednesday night, nine years after DJ Giancola took over as head coach.
This is the third time Giancola's Wolverines have wrestled in a league championship showdown and the first in which they've claimed the outright NFL title. After losing a big senior class in the spring, the coaching staff held moderate expectations for their young squad, besides a second state title quest for senior Willie McDougald. However, the early season success of the team led Giancola and staff to realize that the best asset to the squad was in the practice room the whole time.
