While
bouncing between bodies — and lifting his off the turf after
whistle-abbreviated half-tackles — Brent Collins wears the facial expression
of a captain.
The body language, the swagger, the positive attitude — it’s all there.
Total package.
On the inside, though, Collins is a tad more reserved.
“The main goal,” said Collins, one of Strath Haven’s 11 seniors, “is to
have a .500 season.”
Really? That’s it?
“Well, yeah,” added Collins, who splits time between halfback and defensive
back for the Panthers. “I mean, when you look at last year, you’re left
saying, ‘Wow.’ We went 5-5. We didn’t expect that at all. We expected to
take over the Central League. The thing is, it didn’t happen like that.”
No, not at all really. (click

looking for another glorious season of high school football. We know that we
have many, many returning fans but we also know that we see many new faces every

Haven.

coach, Lisa Garman, who resigned.
Coach
Santamaria cheered as a high school student in her native Massachusetts and then
went on to cheer competitively at Drexel University. She actually competed
in the College Nationals in 2000. (click

When Chris Smallwood went down with
torn right anterior cruciate ligament in the final minute of the District
One Class AAA championship game in November 2008, the Bears were hit with
the reality that their star running back might not be around much longer.
In two seasons, the 6-foot, 200-pound running back had racked up more than
30 touchdowns and nearly 3,000 yards, while getting strong interest from
several Division One schools (Smallwood was eventually given a full ride to
Indiana University of Pennsylvania). (click

High
School sports in general and high school football in particular is a funny
thing. It is hard enough to evaluate how good your own team is and almost
impossible to understand how good your opponents may be at the beginning of the
season. You can't choose your players and you can't keep them as long as you
need them so every year the discussion is about how many starters you lose, what
the freshman or junior varsity teams looked like last year, etc., etc. (click

Well
that went fast so here we are again, looking forward to another great season of
exciting
Pennsylvania
High School
football. I’m not even going to look at last year’s opening remarks
for fear they are the same as this year.But it is always exciting starting a new season, knowing of the hopes so
many share this time of the year that this will be the year their team turns
things around, or continue their winning ways and for the lucky few, maybe this
is the year they reach for the gold medal and bring it home.Everyone is 0-0 and shooting for the stars.(click
