A
campaign to install an artificial turf field in the Wallingford-Swarthmore
School District’s stadium is drawing to a close, with work expected to begin
after the spring sports season.
Schools Superintendent Richard Noonan said the school board
is scheduled to vote on a contractor to handle the work at its May 13 meeting.
“We’re close to having all the money we need,” Noonan
said at the board’s most recent meeting, adding the new field should be ready
to use for fall sports.
As a tangible sign of the effort’s progress, the volunteers
behind the “TeamUp4 Turf” initiative handed over a check for $153,849 to
school board President Vincent Marriott, who thanked them for their dedication. (click

Havenfootball.net Staff
The
Panther's first opponent for the 2013 was announced today by Haven's Athletic
Director, Chip Carroll. Haven will host the Dobbins Tech Mustangs on
August 30th at 7:30 PM. The Mustangs are in District 12 and are a AAA
team. Last year they posted a 5-7 record.
Former
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Dan Connor has signed with the New York Giants as a
free agent.
The Giants announced the signing of the former Penn State
product and Strath Haven All-Delco Saturday without disclosing details.
New York also reached a contract agreement with receiver
Louis Murphy and tight end Brandon Myers, a source familiar with the situation
told The Associated Press late Saturday afternoon.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because
the team had not announced the signing. (click

Last
night the 2012 Banquet Dinner was held for the Strath Haven Football
program. The evening always includes the players that have been selected
for the year's special awards. This year they are:
We've
waited long enough and now we know who we play and when for the 2013
season! Our first game opponent is still unknown. The coaches
continues to seek out teams that have their first game available. Due to
the 12 team Central League line-up there are always two teams we can't play in
the 10 game season. This year we will not play Penncrest or Ridley.

Closing
in on their financial goal, the proponents of an artificial turf field for the
stadium used by several Strath Haven High School outdoor teams are making a
final push.
Those behind the Team Up for Turf initiative announced
recently that about $40,000 still needs to be collected in order for the project
to become a reality. Backers of the effort initially pledged to raise $200,000
toward the field overhaul, but the cost has since risen to $240,000 because of
later revisions. An event that helped toward hitting the fundraising target took
place on Nov. 20. High school Principal MaryJo Yannacone challenged students to
wear green that day and committed to a donation of $1 each for the project for
those who did so.
“Many teachers, and every member of the
(Wallingford-Swarthmore) school board, joined Dr. Yannacone in pledging
donations, as well,” the group said in a press release.
As a result, “Haven Goes Green” generated a collective
donation of $2,124 to benefit the Team Up for Turf initiative. (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. Webmaster's
