You
can’t tell Steven Johnson there are 253 players better than him. But that’s
what NFL teams implied in bypassing him for all seven rounds of the draft.
Johnson has been down this road so often he didn’t blink after expressing his
disappointment over not being drafted. The Strath Haven All-Delco quickly agreed
to terms with the Denver Broncos.
“It’s a good situation,” Johnson said. “At the same time, I wanted to
get drafted. It’s nothing that I haven’t worked through before. Now I’ll
have to do it again.”
Johnson (6-0, 239) walked on at Kansas, eventually earning a scholarship. Last
year the linebacker led the Big 12 Conference with 120 tackles. Johnson also
picked off a pass. (click

When
the going gets tough, Steven Johnson gets out the letter.
It symbolizes the odyssey from damaged goods to University of Kansas football
walk-on then a scholarship player and potential NFL draft pick.
The Strath Haven All-Delco felt like he’d fallen off the map after tearing the
ACL and MCL in a knee just four games into an eye-opening 2006 season at Wyoming
Prep Seminary in Wilkes-Barre. Also shredded was Johnson’s dream of playing
major college football. The only attention came from smaller schools.
Wondering if there was any remaining interest from Kansas, which had made
inquiries, Johnson let his keyboard rip. The target was an online football
recruiting coordinator Johnson knew only by email address. (click

The
WSSD School Board approved $500,000 to install an artificial surface at George
L. King Field. We need to raise $150,000 to complete the project.
Join us at a multi-sport Alumni fund raiser on May 19th. Various events
will be held at the high school and a fund-raising Cocktail Reception will be
held at the Town House in Media, from 7 to 10 PM. Click on the blue

Of
the seven new players the Cowboys signed in a wild, three-day scene earlier this
month to kick off free agency, some received more of the spotlight than others.
Brandon
Carr was the headliner of the group, while Kyle Orton, being the backup
quarterback, also garnered some attention. The Cowboys signed two rather unknown
guards who will likely start and a fullback who replaces the one they had.
But
let's not forget about Dan Connor, a four-year veteran from the Panthers. He
could turn out to be the wild card in this whole class. Signing Connor as one of
the team's three inside linebackers along with Sean Lee and Bruce Carter, all
but closes the door on a pair of veterans at the position, Bradie James and
Keith Brooking, both of whom are unrestricted free agents.
Connor,
who will wear No. 52 for the Cowboys, was a college teammate of Lee for two
seasons at Penn State. He's had starting experience with the Panthers, including
11 times last year. (click

The
dozens of schools pursuing four-star running back David Williams will have to
visit another school to check out the prospect as he told Scout.com he is
transferring from Philadelphia's West Catholic High.
The
dozens of schools recruiting four-star running back, David Williams will have a
new address to travel to in his recruitment.
Williams
is still in Philadelphia but no longer at West Catholic High.
"I
transferred to Imhotep (Institute Charter High)," he told Scout.com.
Williams
had been looking for a new school since it was announced in the winter West
Catholic was closing. The school won an appeal and will remain open, but
Williams had been searching for another school.
As
a junior, Williams rushed for more than 1,500 yards and 16 touchdowns on 230
carries. (click

Dan
Connor expected his cell phone to explode with text messages after signing with
the Dallas Cowboys.
The two-time Delaware County Daily Times football player of the year out of
Strath Haven High underestimated how passionate even his loyal fans were.
“They were calling me a traitor,” Connor said Thursday. “They were joking
around a little bit. You grow up an Eagles fan, a Philly guy and this feels a
little uncomfortable at first. But it’s kind of the nature of the business
now.”
Just the thought of Connor wearing the Cowboys star will take some getting used
to. But let’s give the Eagles a little love here. They approached Connor. Head
coach Andy Reid presented Connor and one of the state title Panthers football
teams with their championship rings. (click

The
Cowboys entered free agency with the goal of filling as many needs as possible
before next month's NFL draft. Check, check, check, check, check, check. As of
Thursday afternoon, they had marked six positions off their list, and cut six
paychecks in just over 24 hours. Inside linebacker Dan Connor became the latest
player to sign, inking a deal with the Cowboys following four seasons with the
Carolina Panthers. (click

Note - Dan's two year deal is for over $6 million and includes a signing bonus
for $2.7 million.
The
Dallas Cowboys have
signed free-agent linebacker Dan Connor to a two year contract, according to
the Dallas Morning News. Financial terms were not immediately available.
Connor,
26, spent his first four NFL seasons with the Carolina Panthers, and was a
teammate of Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee at Penn State. The Cowboys hope that
reuniting Lee and Connor at inside linebacker will help improve their defense.
Connor
played 15 games for the Panthers last season, started 11, and had 75 tackles and
a forced fumble. (click

Another
Central League school district will be entering the era of artificial turf after
the Wallingford-Swarthmore School Board on Monday night approved the
installation of an all-weather playing surface at George L. King Stadium.
The stadium is located behind Strath Haven Middle School and is the site of home
games for Strath Haven High School’s football, soccer and lacrosse teams, as
well as other activities.
With a price tag estimated at close to $700,000, an artificial turf field there
seemed out of reach when a booster group was formed last year to pursue the
project. That was especially true when fund-raising failed to live up to
expectations amid a still flagging economy. (click

Apparently
Upper Moreland has had enough of playing a perennial PIAA contender and has
elected not to play Strath Haven in the first game of the 2012 season.
Stepping up to the challenge are the Imhotep Charter Panthers (AA) from
Philadelphia. The Panthers play in the Philadelphia Public School League
(District 12) and have had strong seasons the last few years. They went
into the playoffs last year but lost to Bok in a close first game. Still
to be determined is the where the game will be played and the kick-off
time. We hope to have those details by March. Webmaster's
note: The game will be a 6:30 kick off at Germantown H.S.(click

Panther
Football Banquet
January
9, 2012
Havenfootball.net
Staff
The
annual Football Banquet was held last night at Springhaven Country Club.
The Parents Association was kind enough to invite the Havenfootball.net Staff to
share their meal and watch the award presentations. It is the last
official function of the football season and it's always great to see all the
parents and players enjoying themselves.
It
is not uncommon for us here at Havenfootball.net to enter the season with lots
of questions. The most common question is, "How will we do this
year?". It is a difficult question to answer when considering the exodus of
the previous year's seniors and the potential growth factor for a teenager after
11 months of weight rooms and work outs.
After
easily defeating Upper Moreland on our first game we thought there was some
interesting potential. Two weeks later we took it on the chin in an
unexpected loss to Marple Newtown followed by a tough (but not unexpected) loss
to Garnet Valley. Our favorite boys in black and silver made a run of it
for the rest of the season losing only to Ridley until their playoff defeat to
Pottsgrove in a great effort.
This
year's Panthers were a come-back team of sorts. They struggled to find
their way and, short of a two point conversion in their last playoff game, had a
real shot at back-to-back district championships. It was a great effort by
a great group of young men who made us proud. (click
