It was a historic run that didn't seem to have an end in sight.

From 2011 to 2014, the Maine-Endwell Spartans went undefeated, winning four state titles. One of the players leading the way was running back Nick Sorrenti.

"It was something you can't really appreciate until it's five, ten years down the line, because you don't realize what you're doing or creating until it's over," said Nick Sorrenti, Chenango Valley Football Head Coach.

Sorrenti earned the rank of first-team all-state twice, and was co-player of the year in 2012.

But his football career came to an unexpected end in his college years. Multiple concussions forced him to step away for good.

"When you're a football player, you feel somewhat of that defines you as a person, so when you lose that, you feel like you lose part of you. When I had to step away from it, it was a very difficult time of my life but it was actually one of the most amazing, blissful experiences in my life," said Sorrenti.

But his love for the game wasn't going to stop him from giving back. Over the summer, Sorrenti applied for, and earned the head coaching job at Chenango Valley. Today, the 24-year-old is the youngest head coach in all of Section IV.

"Football has translated me into life lessons, so that's what I'm trying to do here and what our staff is trying to do is trying to teach these young boys to be young men," said Sorrenti.

He's already connecting with his new team.

"It's great. He brings a very good energy to the team, and being young, it feels like you're closer to him," said Shane Ladd, Chenango Valley Running Back.

It won't take long for Sorrenti to head back home. In week two, he takes on the team he made history with.

His former head coach is proud of his success.

"He's worked so hard since he's gotten the job. He's a great kid, and I think the kids over there are really lucky to have him," said Matt Gallagher, Maine-Endwell Football Head Coach.
