In a very hopeful sign, William Allen's football program is off to a 2-1 start. They were defeated at home by Emmaus, but have chalked up two wins on the road against Pleasant Valley and East Stroudsburg North. The Canaries always have had an outstanding basketball program, but the football program has struggled.
Part of the reason for this might be Mel Thomas, a University of Colorado standout who made the Philadelphia Eagles roster in 1998. He's joined the coaching staff.
Of course, the main reason is the kids.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Allen opened the same way last year … They are able to compete with schools in the EPC North but not EPC South … Dieruff is unfortunate that they opened with three strong EPC opponents … Allen had a weaker starting schedule …. It would be good if Allen can continue to do well … But as a Dieruff Grad I am hoping that they have some success too … Who is out there hoping that Dieruff has success in sports too. And the communities Dieruff serves are treated correctly by the other governments they are under... And that those who still live there are not put down by the larger community but welcomed in as equal partners and are allowed to serve the larger community as leaders.
ReplyDeleteThe real reason is the weak division they play in!

Time to come back south? Bet they go 0 fer !
ReplyDeleteIt is only natural that a struggling team be given an opportunity to play in a weaker division. My hope is that Allen and Dieuff both turnaround.
ReplyDeleteGo Canaries!
