About Todd
Todd Strohe, a proud member of the Bangor High School Class of 1982, dedicated his life to his community both on and off the field. He served Northampton County as a Magisterial District Judge in Bangor, PA, for 15 years and was deeply involved in local athletics, coaching football at both Bangor High School and Middle School. Todd also volunteered countless hours coaching his daughters in Upper Mt. Bethel Township softball and his son in Slate Belt Little League and Blue Valley Patriot Football. His contributions to Bangor athletics were recognized with his induction into the Bangor Athletic Hall of Fame in 2006.
As an athlete, Todd excelled at Bangor High School, earning All-Colonial League first-team honors and All-State honorable mention as a defensive end, as well as a nomination to the prestigious Big 33 game. He set multiple football records, including single-season tackles (134), solo tackles (91), blocked punts (5), blocked punts in a game (3), and quarterback hurries (35). A two-sport standout, Todd also played baseball and went on to play college football at Mansfield University before his career was cut short by injury.
