Editor's Note: This is part three of a three-part story about Whitehall student-athletes moving on to college.

Jeff Charles was a two-sport standout for the Zephyrs this season. He was the starting quarterback for the Zephyrs this season and also the ace of their pitching staff. The next stop for Charles will be Albright College where he plans to play both sports at the Division III school in Reading.

Charles said the school offered a number of amenities, with its intimacy one of the deciding factors.

"On my visit I was really impressed with the campus," said Charles. "It's a beautiful school with outstanding facilities. The average class size is something like 15. You really get to know your professors."

Charles is looking toward a degree in Criminology, with aspirations of joining the Pennsylvania State Police force in the future.

"I would eventually like to work in forensics or as a detective," he said. "My plans are to enroll at the [Pennsylvania] State Police Academy after graduation."

Charles earned first team All-Lehigh Valley Conference in both football and baseball this season. While he's going to school as a two-sport athlete, he doesn't want those intentions interfering with school work, acknowledging he may have to give up one if that becomes a burden. However, right now his focus is on football and he plans on diving into the playbook and then weight room in preparation.

"I just want to be ready to help the team when camp opens," he said.

Charles said he is well prepared for the next phase of his life since coaches Brian Gilbert and Shaun O'Boyle mentored him as a student-athlete.

"I feel I can take on whatever responsibility is thrown my way," he said.

He also learned that hard work is a key to success, noting that "Whitehall athletes have to scratch and fight for every victory." Success isn't bred by the numbers like some of their division foes.

"At Whitehall it's about doing your job and counting on your teammates to do theirs," he said. "It's work as a team."

That's a lesson he'll take with him to Albright.

As for a favorite moment, it was the honor of playing for coach Ron Madouse, his "favorite coach of all-time."

Shawn Glosek will be playing football at Delaware Valley College. The interior lineman will be suiting up for the Rams in the fall, helping them build off a 7-4 record last season.

Glosek, who will be studying psychology, said his decision to enroll at DVC was fostered by the relationship between the student-athletes and coaches.

"They really made me feel like part of the family there," said Glosek.

Once at school, Glosek will apply that same work ethic he developed while at Whitehall, and that is simply to "work his a** off."

His favorite moment was beating Easton at Cottingham Stadium last season. He said that win fulfilled a promise they made as freshman when they lost 7-6 at that vaunted venue, vowing they would return to win as seniors.

"We said we would beat the crap out of them and we did," he said.

Kyleem Harrison chose Indiana University of Pennsylvania to further his athletic career. The track and field standout will become a member of the Crimson Hawks and join the men's track and field team, competing in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference during their indoor and outdoor seasons.

Harrison competed in the hurdles as well as the jumps, reaching the PIAA Track and Field Championships this year in the 110 meter hurdles. He'll join a team who recently had five members selected to the All-Atlantic Region by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Their head coach is Michelle Burgher.

Sarah Schannauer is off to Franklin & Marshall College to play field hockey. The Diplomats play in the Centennial Conference and posted a 17-2 record last season. Schannauer, a two-sport athlete at Whitehall, will join a team that made it to the CC finals last season, losing to Ursinus College 2-0 in the title game.

Schannauer, a 2012 and 2013 Lehigh Valley Conference Honorable Mention in field hockey, will be playing for head coach Melissa Mariano as she begins the next chapter of her life.

Madison Scarfaro is set to play volleyball at Wilkes University in the fall. The senior will be a member of the Colonels, competing in the Freedom Conference. Last season the Colonels finished 18-13, losing in the conference semifinals to DeSales University, 3-1.

In addition to volleyball, Scarfaro was a member of the girls basketball team and participated in track and field. She'll be playing under head coach Joseph Czopek as she heads north later this year.
