Strath Haven football coach Kevin Clancy first saw Dan Connor play when Connor was a fifth grader competing for a local CYO team.

"You could tell he was a very good athlete," Clancy said. "You could see he had a really good feel for the game."

Connor more than fulfilled his potential in high school. He was an incredible two-way force, as a linebacker and running back, while starting in 58 of a possible 59 games for the Panthers.

In his brilliant high school career, Connor, listed at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds as a senior, recorded 451 tackles, intercepted 19 passes, and made six fumble recoveries. Similarly outstanding on offense, he rushed for 4,556 yards and scored 77 touchdowns. (click the blue headline for the article)

After 15 years, hanging up press pass

Webmaster's note - This is John's last column in today's Delaware County Daily Times.  John has been a fixture of high school sports coverage since we started back when my son played in 1997.  His enjoyment and thrill of high school sports was obvious in every article we read. Good luck in your new endeavors...........you will be missed!  

The details have become blurred through the years. All I remember about my first assignment for this newspaper, Springfield hosting West Chester Henderson in a nonleague football game, was the final score: 16-0. It was not in favor of the Delaware County school. Oh, and Springfield coach Rick Taylor wasn’t in a chatty mood afterward.
Driving to the game? Those details are not difficult to recall. I had just started my freshman year at La Salle University and was coming home on the weekends to cover some high school football for Sports Editor Bob Tennant, a man I’ll forever call my mentor.
I had a case of nerves on the way to Springfield, sparked by the fear of blowing a big opportunity. I had a case of nerves after the game, as I sat down to write my story.
The 18-year-old from that fall afternoon in 1995 is long gone. He’s more confident now, and has written thousands of articles for the Daily Times, from game stories to features to columns. This one, written as a 33-year-old, is my last. Today, after four years as a correspondent and 11 years as a full-time employee, I’m no longer a staff member of the Daily Times.  (click the blue headline for the article)
