PETER BRILL 

COACH

Peter is a proud graduate of Council Rock North, class of 2000. He’s worked in North’s cafeteria ever since, delighted to be able to greet the student athletes and coaches as he works. Peter’s been a football Team Manager and “Greatest Fan” of the CRN football team for 26 years, since his sophomore year under Coach Ortman and he’s thrilled to be named as an honorary coach now under Coach Greiner. Every year, Peter can’t wait for the summer to be over so he can root for his team. He loves everything about the CRN football team and during the game, standing on the sidelines, he nervously “white-knuckles” every play. Peter loves the guys, win or lose, and if they lose, he often tells them not to worry; that he’s sure they’ll win the next game. Peter was also inducted into the Council Rock Sports Hall of Fame in 2021.  

We are so grateful that Peter has had this long opportunity to be a part of this wonderful organization. It has been an important part of making him the happy person he is today. Go North!
