Whitehall High School is proud to announce the hiring of Matt Senneca as its next head coach in football.

Coach Senneca is no stranger to the Lehigh Valley high school football scene. For the past three seasons Senneca has been the offensive coordinator at Emmaus High School, helping to lead them to two EPC Championships.

He had a two-year stint as head coach at Wilson Area High School after being an assistant coach at Moravian College, Parkland High School and Liberty High School.

He has been a part of great success as both a player and coach and has been coaching since 2003. As a player, Matt had a standout career at Allentown Central Catholic prior to playing quarterback at Penn State.

“We are very excited to name Matt Senneca as our next head coach in football. One of the things that impressed in the committee most was Matt’s passion to build relationships with student-athletes and help them beyond the game. He laid out a concise and clear plan for the football program.”

“Coach viewed our job as a premier job in District XI and will be putting together a first rate staff, with a collection of some Whitehall veterans as well as some new fresh faces in to our program. We are pleased that our program attracts high quality coaches such as Coach Senneca.

“Credit is due to our football alumni who are so passionate about this program, as well as our great coaches of the past. We are proud that Zephyr Football is a family. The Zephyr Football program has been very competitive during its history because of this family. We look forward to those seasons continuing under the mentorship of Coach Senneca,” said Whitehall Athletic Director, Bob Hartman in a release.
