At Beaver, he won 241 games and three WPIAL titles in 1972, ’81 and ’82. He won 12 conference titles with the Bobcats and his teams also finished as the WPIAL runner-up twice. The Bobcats also had undefeated streaks of 21 and 24 games. After leaving Beaver, Tarquinio went on to become an assistant at Hopewell. Tarquinio also was an excellent player at Stowe High School and then Juniata College. He is in a few other halls of fame.
