CVFAA FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME
From organizing the Hall of Fame Social, to dinners with Senior football players, to serving 10 years as president, to becoming the current treasurer, Bill is dedicated to all that the Cumberland Valley Football Alumni Association stands for – and that means he volunteered the talents of his wife, Carol, to further his support.
Beginning in 1998, Carol began creating the program, displays, scrapbooks, slide shows, decorations, write ups and anything else needed to identify and honor each year's new inductees to the CVFAA Hall of Fame. As the years went by, she added creating program ads, donation mail- outs, designing and producing the 50 Years of CV Football history book and the subsequent yearly supplements, making flags for the stadium, re-creating and updating the CVFAA website, and hand making keepsake coasters for graduating senior Eagles. If the CVFAA needed it, Bill asked for her help, and Carol got it done.
In their spare time Bill is currently a Senior Vice President and Branch Manager for Dewberry, Inc. in Carlisle. Carol has retired from graphic design and as director of the USA Stars, All-Star Cheer, Dance & Tumbling Program. These days, along with continued dedication to the CVFAA, Bill is a Republican Committee Person, a member of the South Middleton Sewer Authority, and Treasurer of the Mayapple HOA. Carol volunteers her time as a choreographer for the CVYCA cheer program and continues to find ways to support the Cumberland Valley Football Alumni Association... but Bill and Carol agree that their most important accomplishments are raising two wonderful sons, gaining two lovely daughters, and being Grammie and Pap to three amazing grandchildren.
Kyle was a 3-year captain, a multiple year Academic All American, and a Remington Award finalist for college football’s top center. In 2016 Kyle was on the New York Jets practice squad and currently is a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad.

Bill and Carol were Cumberland Valley students who began dating in January of 1968. Bill was a junior and an outstanding athlete on the Varsity football, wrestling and baseball teams and Carol Eagle (yes, Eagle really is her last name) was co-captain of the Varsity Cheer squad.
Both were dedicated to Cumberland Valley and all that the school stood for. Bill was class treasurer, team co-captain, on the Patriot News Golden Helmet team, nominated for Big 33, and an Outstanding Teenager ‘69. Carol was on student council, the yearbook staff, and the PA Youth Forum. In addition, they both were members of the National Honor Society, both received Cumberland Valley School Service Awards, and both earned Senior Superlatives – Bill for Most Athletic and Carol for Most School Spirit.
Bill went on to play football for Princeton University where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Structural Engineering. Playing guard for the Tigers, Bill earned the Princeton Football Poe-Kaz award and was selected All-American Honorable Mention by the Associated Press. While at Princeton, Bill and Carol were married and later became proud parents of two sons, Michael and Jeremy.
Bill's professional career started in Pennsylvania and later took him to Virginia. He and Carol returned to Pennsylvania in 1996. In 1997 the CVFAA established the Cumberland Valley Football Hall of Fame and Bill was among the first 11 CV football alumni to be inducted... and thus Bill and Carol's work for the CVFAA began.
Bill has devoted many hours to helping the CVFAA raise money for Cumberland Valley Football and to furthering the connection between present-day players and the alumni who helped create the standard of excellence that is associated with today's Eagles.
