Ron Miller Inducted into Susquehanna University Hall of Fame

Ron Miller '93 is a native of Marion Heights, Pa. and a graduate of Mount Carmel Area High School. He was a first-team All-MAC selection on the offensive line as both a junior and senior as the Crusaders led the conference in both total offense and rushing offense both years, and was an honorable mention All-American as a senior. Following graduation, he served as Susquehanna's offensive coordinator for eight seasons and as head men's lacrosse coach for four seasons. He earned a master's degree in education from Bucknell and is head football coach at West York High School. Miller resides in Selinsgrove with his wife, Jennifer, and their daughter, Aspen (3).
Miller, who grew up less than an hour from campus, was a little disappointed with local medial coverage when speaking to this blogger. Miller hopes to one day bring his team north and knock out a AAA team from the Coal Region out of the PIAA playoffs. For Miller, that may be only the Crimson Tide of Pottville who for the most part are the only Coal Region team left in AAA. Most of the teams are now relegated to A and AA.


Senior day for the mens and womens basketball teams was also held with local product Jen Clark of Southern Columbia, Sara Jane Kalejta of Lourdes Region and Chad Lauer of Southern Columbia all took part in the ceremonies. For Lauer, it was a great day. The senior did not see any action this season due to be operated on for a brain tumor, but the main thing is that things look to be going well from the surgery. It would have been nice to see Lauer out there helping his teammates claw for a playoff spot in the MAC. Lauer was a member of the Crusaders two seasons ago that went winless in the MAC. Lauer did all he could as a sophomore and at that time was one the leader in tenure on the team as a sophomore.
