Pennsbury Falcon Football

HEAD COACHES

The following text is from The History of Falls Township 1692-1992, by Samuel Moore Snipes, pp. 187-189.

Coach James P. Doheny taught and coached all sports in Falls Township and later at Morrisville for 35 years. He introduced football and track to the school curriculum. In his beginning years, in the 1920's, he developed a wonderful spirit among the divesrse student population by getting them to play football together. He preached the virtues of hard play, winning and recognition of the worth of each of the many nationality groups who at that time formed the Township population.

The thrill we feel today when Pennsbury beats Neshaminy in football can only be mildly compared to the exhilaration which a more rural community universally felt when it's championship teams of 1933, 1934 and 1935 beat such giants as Morrisville and Bristol.
