Two athletes who compiled never-seen-before numbers highlight the list of 2012's top York-Adams League performances.

Eastern York's Alex Cooley and Delone Catholic's Sierra Moore closed out their brilliant careers on the football field and basketball court, respectively, by setting York-Adams records.

Cooley became the league's all-time leading rusher with 6,015 yards, eclipsing the previous mark by a whopping 1,582 yards. Cooley set a state single-game record by racking up 500 rushing yards against Hanover, and in his final season, he carried the ball 258 times for 2,845 yards, a ridiculous 11.1 yards-per-carry average.

Kennard-Dale wrestler Chance Marsteller continued his phenomenal success by winning a second straight state Class AAA wrestling title. Marsteller, a junior this year, has never lost a high school match (97-0). He could become part of a very elite group: Pennsylvania high school wrestlers who won four titles without losing a match.

Fairfield's Isaiah Logue became the first York-Adams golfer, since Eastern's Rod Crumbling in 1984, to win a state golf crown. Logue shot 74-71 in two days at Heritage Hills to take the Class AA championship.

West York's Brad Strathmeyer made his final high school swim season a championship one by capturing the gold medal in the Class AA 500-yard freestyle title at the PIAA Swimming
