Strath Haven Coach Kevin Clancy and author Dave Burman.
By Dave Burman
The PIAA high school football regular-season begins Friday night.
Good luck to coach Kevin Clancy and the Strath Haven (Wallingford) high school football team in 2018.
Strath Haven will host Interboro Friday night @ King Field. Interboro is coached by the legendary Steve Lennox.
…
Friday night is also the Delaware County Athletes Hall of Fame’s fourth annual football Kickoff Classic. After the game, an MVP award is presented to a student from each school and each school receives $250 in that student’s name.
Coach Clancy started his career at Archbishop Carroll (Radnor) from 1982-1990 (67-39-2) before moving to Strath Haven and building a powerhouse there with 2 PIAA state titles (1999 and 2000) and 4 trips to PIAA state championship game (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002) and producing 5 NFL players!
