Over the years, Interboro’s football program has had its share of memorable moments.
Coach George Corner had an undefeated team in 1963 on which a talented track athlete named Vince Papale played end.

Steve Lennox made his Bucs perennial playoff contenders as well as squads capable of beating rival Ridley in Thanksgiving Day games.
