Strath Haven may look different in certain areas, but the backbone of the team remains intact for the 2023 season.

This offensive line unit has a chance to be special. Seniors Bill Brown, Will Leuthold, Jackson Geremia, Gavin Pilson and Carter Law lined up along with Cole Miller, who transitioned to blocking tight end, and had their way against Interboro Friday night at George King Field.

“It was our first game and we have to fix some things, but I think as the season goes on we’re going to do a great job,” Law said after the Panthers’ 28-7 victory. “It was great to start out the way we did.”

A new stable of running backs led by junior fullback Shane Green, who rushed for 107 yards and two TDs, powered the Panthers, who combined for 258 yards. Senior halfback Mekhi Clark had 52 yards on 10 carries. Senior Marco Kaufman (25 yards, TD) and juniors James Fisher (20 yards, TD) and Vince Hales (24 yards) all produced on limited carries.

Kevin Clancy’s Wing-T offense looked like a well-oiled machine on opening night.
