1984 Season Recap
Dick Bedesem, the head man of the Bishop Egan Eagles for over a decade in the late ’50s and ’60s before heading to Villanova, takes charge of the Redskins and begins to turn Langhorne around as his first team goes 7-3. It’s obvious that Bedesem’s firm hand is just the tonic for a rejuvenated Neshaminy that can’t be happier about the end of “The Split” and their new coach. And with the honeymoon season of ’84 a successful one, the players, the community and the fans can’t wait for 1985 and what they expect will be more of the same. Not one to disappoint, Bedesem will soon enough be delivering Neshaminy its first SOL championship with more to follow as the mid- to late-’80s will bring good grid years to Langhorne.
