After coaching high school football for 40 years, Jim Cantafio was settling into a life of semi-retirement with his wife, Tracy, in bucolic Lancaster.
But Coatesville head coach Matt Ortega had a different plan in mind for Cantafio, who was known for successfully running the spread offense and helping quarterbacks earn college scholarships.
