Rivalry will hit top
gear as Manheim
Central’s Simon,
Cocalico’s Palm take
field for senior seasons
JOHN WALK
JWALK@LNPNEWS.COM
Manheim Central senior quarter-
back Evan Simon and Cocalico senior
quarterback/safety Noah Palm sat
mere feet from each other on a bench
inside the Barons’ football locker room
on a weekday evening in late June.
Their presence was requested for a
photo shoot for the cover of LNP’s pre-
season football guide. It’s in that lock-
er room Simon was asked what makes
Palm such an effective defensive back.
Simon immediately referenced last
year’s District Three Class 5A champi-
onship game.
“Do you remember that one play?”
Simon said as he locked eyes with
Palm.
Smirks formed on both faces.
“I threw a nice corner route to the
end zone,” Simon said. “And out of no-
where (Palm) swats it. He’s just a freak.
He’s a really athletic kid.” CHRIS KNIGHT | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
