Invited to a Rotary presentation introducing the 2026 Dartmouth coaching staff at Floren Varsity House yesterday I learned a few "relatively" interesting facts:
• Sammy McCorkle's oldest daughter, Maddie, a former Duke lacrosse player and recent graduate of the University of Virginia Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, is now working for the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium as a staff assistant in football and business administration.
• Offensive coordinator Shane Montgomery's son Tanner, a former college baseball player, is the "development" coach for the Houston Astros' Singe-A affiliate, the Fayetteville Woodpeckers in North Carolina.
• Tight end coach Kevin Daft's daughter Caroline will be a freshman mifielder/draw specialist at Amherst this year. Older daughter Talia is a coxswain at the University of Michigan. Find a story about Talia HERE.
• Cat Palmer, who started as the Dartmouth football recruiting and operations coordinator after wrapping up her softball career at Wesleyan, is no stranger to football. In addition to three seasons as operations director at Wesleyan and doing an internship with the Kansas City Chiefs, she has a younger brother, Will, who is a 6-foot-3, 275-pound freshman offensive lineman at Villanova. Find her bio HERE and his bio HERE.
• Veteran offensive line coach Keith Clark's son Kaelan, graduated from Lebanon High School in the spring and is currently doing his Marine Corps training at Parris Island in South Carolina.
And finally . . .
• Noah Reilly, in his first year as the Dartmouth defensive quality control specialist, played high school football at Martin County High School in Stuart, Fla. If he checked the school record book, he'd recognize the name of the head coach long before he played. Fellow by the name of Sammy McCorkle led the team in 2003-04.

EXTRA POINT
There are a lot of reasons why we are thrilled That Certain Dartmouth '14 and That Fellow Who Roots For A Baseball Team That Shall Not Be Named are now stationed at Acadia National Park. Being just 5½ hours away they can come this way for a long weekend, and they will be in town later today both for a visit and for tonight's free concert at Lake Morey Resort featuring The Revivalists.
Summer is winding down and if you haven't taken in one of the free concerts on the golf course in Fairlee, Vt., the Revivalists might be fun to check out. And lucky folks in the Upper Valley don't have to drive 5½ hours to see them:
