1951 Season Recap

In Egli’s last year at the top (he moves over to Pennsbury as its head coach for the 1952 campaign), Harry Franks, from Reading and a recent East Stroudsburg graduate, is hired as an assistant varsity coach. Franks also serves as the head coach of the JV team which posts a perfect 7-0 record that year in a sign of things to come; however, the varsity is 2-5-3 in a season that is most remarkable for the first three games of the season as each ended in a 6-6 tie.
