Steve Radocaj begins a third tenure with the Lycoming staff, as he will once again work primarily with the defensive line in 2016. A legendary area coach, Radocaj coached what the Sun-Gazette named the decade’s best area prep football team in the 2001 Williamsport squad.
Â
Radocaj has previously served as an assistant coach for the Warriors for eight seasons, first working with the squad from 1998-99 before moving on for a stint as head coach at Williamsport Area. In 2008, he came back to the Warriors, coaching the defensive line and helping the team win a MAC title in Coach Clark’s first year with the program and served for six more years before stepping away after 2013 and a second MAC title.
Â
He oversaw a resurgence in the Warrior defense, helping the team finish in the top 10 in Division III in scoring twice in his second tenure years, including finishing fourth in scoring defense (12.4) in 2012. In 2011, the d-line helped pace the Warriors, which led the MAC in nearly all defensive categories and finished in the top 10 in the nation in pass efficiency defense (77.59), total defense (214.4), scoring defense (12.6), turnover margin (1.8) and pass defense (130.0).
Â
During his latest tenure with the Warriors, Radocaj helped mentor 10 all-conference linemen and four all-region selections, plus two All-Americans and 2011 MAC Defensive Player of the Year Anthony Marascio.
Â
Besides football, Radocaj has also coached track and field and wrestling at Williamsport. Radocaj, who was the 1980 Male Athlete of the Year at his alma mater, Mansfield University, has a wife, Linda, daughter, Ruby, and son, Marco.
