Philadelphia High School Football
History of La Salle College High in Wyndmoor, PA
Return to TedSilary.com Home Page
This page details much of the football history of La Salle College
High in Wyndmoor, PA. The Explorers played patchwork schedules
for six seasons (1903, 1915-19), then joined the Philadelphia
Catholic League for the initial season in 1920. They have remained
there since, except for two periods -- 1921-22 and 1928-33.
La Salle was located at 20th and Olney, in Philadelphia, on the
campus of the college, through the 1959-60 school year.
If corrections are needed, please contact Ted Silary at tedtee307@yahoo.com
and provide verification of new information, if possible. Thanks!
Thanks to Bill Wasylenko, La Salle's football historian, for his
help!
Some research is still being conducted/cross-checked.
(Information prior to 1976 was provided mostly by Dr. Roger B. Saylor,
a famed Pennsylvania football historian. He passed away in 2013.)

HOW CATHOLIC LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS WERE WON
1955
Overall
Decided in Regular Season
La Salle (7-0-0)
The host Explorers claimed the title in Game No. 6 by trimming
Roman, 13-0, as Ray Frankson and Bill Dick ran for TDs. They went to
7-0-0 the next week in a 22-0 win over ST More. La Salle gave up only
one TD in league action; it finished with six consecutive shutouts.
1957
Overall
Decided in Regular Season
La Salle (7-0-0)
The Explorers went to 7-0-0 (a game vs. North was canceled) by
thrashing visiting St. James, 40-18. John Herrera ran 18 times for 144
yards and three TDs and added four PAT to finish with 101 league points.
Scott Maxwell added 137 yards and two TDs on 23 carries. North went
5-1-1 for second.
1958
Overall
Decided in Regular Season
La Salle (8-1-0)
Scott Maxwell ran for three short TDs as the Explorers completed
an 8-1-0 campaign by humbling host Roman, 34-0. Barry Dunleavy and Fred
Shaughnessy had interceptions to set up TDs. Neumann and St. James tied
for second at 7-2-0.
1960
Overall
Decided in Regular Season
La Salle (8-0-1)
Tom Crow ran for two TDs as the Explorers took the crown in a
28-8 win over North. The triumph raised coach John "Tex" Flannery's
five-season record to 40-6-0. West went 6-1-2 for second.
1989
Overall
At Villanova Stadium
La Salle 13, Roman 0
Brian Daly made three interceptions -- he'd had none all season
despite earning All-Catholic honors -- and returned the second-half
kickoff 72 yards for a TD as La Salle took its first title since 1960.
The Explorers, who generated just 51 yards total offense and two first
downs, scored their other TD on Jim Convey's end-zone recovery of a
fumble forced by Martin Feeny. For Roman, Delano Benton made eight
tackles while flu-hampered QB Jim McGeehan was held to 84 yards on
6-for-27 passing.
1995
Overall
At Northeast
La Salle 14, Ryan 7
Wearing heavy padding to protect a break at the base of his left
thumb, Mike Durso collected 43 yards and a TD on 10 carries. Kyle
Mallach added 50 yards and a score on eight carries. By going 9-for-18
for 109 yards, soph QB Brett Gordon finished the season with 2,136 yards
and 23 TDs, one short of the city-leagues record. Keith Lachawiec made
four sacks and two other tackles for losses. For Ryan, Chris Cavallaro
produced 78 yards and a TD on 18 rushes.
1996
Overall
At Northeast
La Salle 20, Judge 7
Mike Durso rushed 22 times for 113 yards and a TD, becoming the
first Explorer all season to reach 100 yards, and Brett Gordon passed
16-for-33 for 162 yards and a TD to Jeff Pietrak. Gordon also kicked
field goals of 23 and 34 yards. La Salle finished the season as the
first 14-0 team in city-leagues history and extended its winning streak
to 25 games. Gordon's two-year varsity passing totals stood at 4,190
yards and 51 TDs. Jim Casey ran for Judge's TD.
1998
Overall
At Northeast
La Salle 17, Ryan 3
After playing most of the first half at quarterback, Chris
Pennington moved to running back and finished with 17 carries for 135
yards and two TDs. His clincher, a 47-yarder, came with 1:45 left.
Pennington's replacement, soph Gabe Marabella, passed 6-for-9 for 117
yards. Mike Savage kicked a 39-yard field goal, raising his FG total for
the playoffs to four -- all from 39 to 42 yards. Chris Dougherty led the
defense with 10 tackles. For Ryan, Joe O'Connell rushed 17 times for 60
yards, Nick Colacicco kicked a 38-yard field goal and Glen Galeone Jr.,
son of Ryan's coach, made two receptions for 93 yards.
2006
Red Division
At Northeast
La Salle 14, SJ Prep 7
These private-school rivals canceled their Thanksgiving game and played the next night
before an overflow crowd. La Salle, a 42-14 loser in the regular season matchup, survived
in this one, despite being outgained, 390-175, by forcing two fumbles at the 1 and making
interceptions at the goal line and 1 yard deep in the end zone. The Explorers' first TD
came when Jack Forster and Rob Saraceni forced a fumble within a whisker at the goal
line and Greg Frantz picked up the ball and dashed 96 yards for a TD; it was the longest
fumble return for a score in city postseason history. Saraceni had the other recovery while
Mike Donohoe (goal line, last play of first half) and Jack Forster (1-yard into end zone,
fourth quarter) made the interceptions. On the Prep's final play, JB Campanella and John
McBurnie combined for a sack. Andrew Wood (15), Campanella (13) and Sean Saverio
(11) racked up large tackles numbers as Prep ran 72 plays. La Salle had zero rushing yards,
but John Harrison passed 17-for-29 for 175 yards (he finished with a city record for
completions in a season, with 200) and a TD to Joe Migliarese (7-84) and was sacked just
once. It was the second time in three years that a first-year CL coach won a title (Drew
Gordon for La Salle, Joe Powel for Wood in '04). The Explorers became the first Red team
to win the title without having the luxury of a first-round bye and just the third team in CL
history to capture a crown after losing three league games (also Judge in '81 and '83).
2008
AAAA Division
At Northeast
La Salle 28, Judge 20
Mayfair resident Mike Donohoe, a first cousin of one Judge starter, best friend of another
and buddies with roughly half of the prominent Crusaders, caught a pair of 12-yard TDs passes
from Drew Loughery (12-for-19, 114, three TDs) and hit the latter with a trick-play conversion
pass as the Explorers avenged a regular season defeat. Sam Feleccia made four catches for 63
yards and a score, Mike Bennett kicked two field goals and Kevin Forster posted a pick.
Loughery's conversion catch made it 21-14 and that became huge when Judge missed the PAT
after a 28-yard TD pass from soph Tony Smith (8-for-17, 119) to Tom Ryan (5-72) with 6:45
left. Donohoe notched his second TD at 1:42. Smith suffered an injury on Judge's last drive,
forcing star receiver Adam Nowak to assume command of the offense. His last pass was knocked
down by . . . you guessed it, Donohoe (also a linebacker/punter). Judge's Curt Wortham ran 29
times for 104 yards. This was coach Drew Gordon's eighth year with the program, over two
stints, and his fourth title (first two as offensive coordinator).
2009
AAAA Division
At Northeast
La Salle 35, SJ Prep 28
Junior Kevin Forster, the last of four brothers to cause the Hawks so much heartache in football
and/or lacrosse, scored the winning TD on a 37-yard pass from Drew Loughery and then ran to
the sideline, right near that same end zone, to exchange hugs with Rob, Jack and Randy. It was
his first TD catch of the season. The Explorers rallied from a 28-20 deficit as Loughery finished
21-for-31 for 297 yards and one score apiece to Jamal Abdur-Rahman (5-58), Sam Feleccia (4-59)
and Connor Hoffman (6-91) in addition to Forster (4-74). In four games vs. Prep over two seasons,
Loughery passed 74-for-130 for 1,182 yards and 12 TDs. The Hawks received three passing TDs
from soph Skyler Mornhinweg (8-for-16, 151). Two went to Colin Rodgers.
2010
AAAA Division
At Northeast
La Salle 35, Roman 16
The Explorers roared to the final 28 points while claiming their third consecutive crown and
fourth in five years. The start did not go well: Anthony Johnson dropped Tim Wade for a safety.
Soon, Matt Magarity, after missing the last three games with a concussion, was turning his first
pass into a 60-yard completion to Sean Coleman and Roman was losing star wideout William
Fuller (3-61), a sophomore, to a broken collarbone. Jamal Abdur-Rahman turned 28 carries into
168 yards and three TDs while Coleman (on a backward pass) and Magarity also ran for scores.
Casey Eidenshink, moved up the depth chart one day earlier after Ryan Winslow was diagnosed
with pneumonia, went 5-for-5 on PAT. Kevin Forster (two; added punting duties) and
Abdur-Rahman had interceptions. Marcus Kelly (run, 25-96) and Jack Gallagher (fumble return)
posted Roman's TDs.
2011
AAAA Division
At Northeast
La Salle 16, Roman 6
Though always known for offense, the Explorers mostly used an opportunistic defense to
capture their fourth consecutive big-school crown (and fifth in coach Drew Gordon’s six years).
Chris Rocco and frosh Jimmy Herron made interceptions while David Losier, Dad Poquie,
Sean Burke and Andrew Eidenshink pounced on fumbles. Sean Burke (11) and John Palermo
(10) led in tackles. Sean Coleman scored the TDs on passes of 61 and 27 yards from Matt
Magarity and Ryan Winslow hit a 25-yard field goal to extend a 13-6 lead. Winslow also
averaged 48 yards on four punts, with a long of 57. Roman scored on a pass from Chris
Johnson-Cruz to William Fuller. One week earlier, as a fill-in for the injured Michael Keir,
Johnson-Cruz had set a city playoff record for TD passes (five) in a semifinal win over St.
Joseph’s Prep. He’d also run 62 yards for another score.
2012
AAAA Division
At Plymouth-Whitemarsh
La Salle 28, SJ Prep 27 (OT)
City playoff records took a beating as the Explorers, before an overflow crowd, captured their
fifth consecutive championship and avenged a regular season loss. Sean Coleman caught 14 passes
(former record 12) for 138 yards and four TDs (FR three) and Chris Kane notched four TD passes
while posting 328 yards and erasing the bests for completions (31, FR 22) and attempts (46,
FR 42). In OT, after Olamide Zaccheaus scored for Prep on a 10-yard run and the PAT went
awry, La Salle won it with Kane's 5-yard, right-to-middle slant to Coleman and Ryan Winslow's
kick. Zaccheaus also tallied on a reception and 90-yard kickoff return. This was just the second
OT final in CL history (also 1990).
2014
AAAA Division
At Plymouth-Whitemarsh
La Salle 29, SJ Prep 28
For the fourth time in 10 years, the Explorers downed the Prep in a championship game (one
Red, three AAAA) after dropping the teams' regular season battle. And this one was an all-timer.
With 49 seconds left, Nick Rinella made a TD catch with major Barnum & Bailey qualities.
From the right side, he steamed downfield and just beyond the goal line, in the exact middle,
reached high to get his left hand on a 24-yard pass from Chris Ferguson. While tumbling to the
ground, backward, Rinella gathered in the ball to erase a 28-23 deficit at 0:49. Three defenders
were in the vicinity. La Salle, which fell into a 14-0 hole, also received TDs from Charles
Headen (pass from Ferguson), Jared Walls (pick-six) and Syaire Madden (rush; 26-73) while
Matt Savage thumped a field goal. Ferguson finished 12-for-23 for 185 yards for first-year
coach John Steinmetz, thanks largely to Winston Eubanks (5-76) and Headen (4-67). For the
Hawks, Benny Walls ran seven times for 115 yards and two long scores (44, 55) while Richard
Carr returned an interception 95 yards for a TD. In the four table-turnings mentioned above,
the Explorers lost the regular season meetings by 68 total points (28, 7, 8, 25) before winning
the title games by 16 total points (7, 7, 1, 1). They achieved the same feat vs. Judge in 2008
-- a win by 28-20 after a loss by 28-14.
HOW CITY TITLES WERE WON
1955
Overall
At Franklin Field
La Salle 26, Northeast 0
Each member of the starting backfield -- fullback Tom Hopkins,
halfbacks Bill Dick and Ray Frankson, quarterback Hugh Brolly -- scored
one TD each as the first-time CL champions rolled. Coach Jim Gallagher's
Explorers (10-0) finished the season with eight consecutive shutouts and
allowed just 20 points total. For Northeast, Marv Sloms gained 58 yards
on 14 carries, but Herb Adderley was unable to run because of an ankle
injury.
1957
Overall
At Franklin Field
La Salle 19, Roxborough 6
After all-night and morning rains, which followed two days of
snow, Scott Maxwell collected 122 yards and two TDs on 29 carries as La
Salle finished unbeaten for the second time in three seasons. Johnny
Herrera added 40 yards on 17 rushes and scored a TD on Paul Aita's lone
completion in five attempts. Fred Shaughnessey and Walt McDonald had
interceptions. For Roxborough, Jim Pownall rushed 19 times for 52 yards
and lineman George Reistad rumbled 21 yards for a score with an
interception.
1960
Overall
At Franklin Field
La Salle 24, Frankford 0
Tom Crow rushed 16 times for 78 yards and two TDs and completed
2 of 2 passes for 79 yards and a TD to Vince Dennery as La Salle won the
city title for the second time in four years under coach John "Tex"
Flannery, an assistant in '55. Dennery added another TD on a 41-yard
pass from Ed Stranix (3-for-4, 105). La Salle won the total offense
battle, 425-99, and did not punt. For Frankford, Connie Snyder rushed
for 26 yards on 12 carries.
2008
AAAA Division
At Northeast
Washington 23, La Salle 14
On a bitterly cold day, the Explorers chose to receive against a very
strong wind and Washington rolled to a 21-7 lead in the first 13 minutes,
thanks in part to interceptions by Jamal Williams and Nate Smith. Kyle
Glenn's two runs sandwiched a TD pass from Aaron Wilmer to Omar
Hunter. Sharrif Floyd's blocked punt produced a safety and a 23-14 lead
with 3:16 left. La Salle junior Drew Loughery passed 12-for-33 for 248
yards and one TD apiece to Mike Donohoe and Sam Feleccia
(81-yarder; 3-134). He fell 19 yards short of tying the city record
(2,647) belonging to his offensive coordinator, Brett Gordon,
the son of coach Drew Gordon.
2009
AAAA Divison
At Northeast
La Salle 31, Washington 20
This one started like 2008's -- La Salle chose to receive, Washington
kicked off with wind and played good defense, and scored a quick TD
(on Aaron Wilmer's 47-yard keeper). The one big exception -- Holding
wiped it out. The Explorers not only regrouped. They coasted to a
31-7 lead before Washington posted a pair of fourth quarter TDs. Jamal
Abdur-Rahman made two interceptions, returned a fumble 36 yards for
a score and contributed 132 yards of rushing (40) and receiving (82, another
TD). Drew Loughery passed 13-for-21 for 188 yards and three TDs, with the
other two going to Sam Feleccia and Connor Hoffman (5-60). Mike Bennett
hammered a 37-yard field goal and sent four of his six kickoffs to the end zone.
Shane Brady made 11 tackles. Wilmer accounted for 306 yards, passing
16-for-28 for two scores and bagging another 140 on 18 carries.
2010
AAAA Divison
At Northeast
La Salle 35, Northeast 0
Strong defense, twice coupled with solid returns, assured that four of the
Explorers' scoring drives would need to cover just 39 yards. Jamal
Abdur-Rahman (11-69) and Kevin Forster (11-53, on direct snaps and
jet sweeps) ran for two scores apiece and Tim Wade contributed one.
Connor Reilly blocked a punt to set up the second TD. Mark DiFrangia made
eight tackles, with five occurring at or behind the line. Abdur-Rahman soared
for a pick. Northeast's best chance for a score came late against the second unit.
Ryan Otis, who would have been a key player all season if not for an injury,
broke up an end-zone pass intended for franchise, two-way end Deion Barnes.
This was the sixth time this season that the Explorers, usually beyond pass-happy
under coach Drew Gordon and his son, Brett, the offensive coordinator, posted
no aerial TDs.
2011
AAAA Division
At Northeast
La Salle 41, Washington 7
Five days before Thanksgiving, the Explorers must have thought it was
Christmas en route to capturing their third consecutive AAAA City Title. After
taking an early lead on the first of three successive rushing TDs by Tim Wade
(12-79), Ryan Winslow lofted a kickoff about 35 yards downfield and Washington’s
nearest return man merely watched. The ball bounced, Dad Poquie pounced and Wade
made it 14-0 five plays later. Matt Magarity ran for one TD (65 yards) and hit Sean
Coleman for another while frosh Jordan Meachum, Wade’s backup, sped for 101 yards
and one score on 12 carries. Washington tallied on David Gavrilov’s 58-yard pass to
Donald Smith. Hakeem Sillman, the city’s leading rusher, was held to 18 yards on
eight carries.
2012
AAAA Division
At Northeast
La Salle 37, Frankford 20
Soph Jordan Meachum, limited or sidelined all season by a recurring hip injury,
turned seven carries into 146 yards and one TD. Also, his long runs set up a field
goal and six-pointer. The Explorers’ longest score went to soph Jimmy Herron
on a pass from Chris Kane. Dad Poquie and Sean Coleman posted interceptions
to help La Salle capture its fourth consecutive CT. In the second half, played with a
running clock, Frankford’s Tim DiGiorgio passed for 170 of his 250 yards while enjoying
streaks of five and four consecutive completions. Rene Herrera (62-yard reception)
bagged the longest TD.
2015
AAAA Division
At Northeast
La Salle 42, Gratz 15
With no points yet on the scoreboard, Gratz QB Amir Gillis was flushed out of the
pocket and set sail on what should have been a 68-yard TD run. Thatdidn't happen
because Nick Rinella dislodged the ball at about the 2 and it bounced out ofthe end
zone for a touchback. Immediately, Chris Ferguson hit Winston Eubanks for an
80-yard score. Rinella also collected two TDs (rush, catch) and a fumble recovery, Ferguson
(7-for-10, 125) passed for two scores and Syaire Madden (19-179) ran for the same number.
For Gratz, Luke White carried 14 times for 74 yards and one score while Gillis(8-for-21, 76;
12-94 rushing) hit Javon Whitfield for the other six-pointer.
HOW A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WAS WON
2009
AAAA Division
At Hersheypark Stadium
La Salle 24, State College 7
Again the white stuff agreed with the Explorers, who gave the Catholic League its first
state football title in just Year No. 2 of PIAA membership. With heavy snow predicted
(for once, the weather folks were correct), the game was moved up from 7 to 2 p.m.
Mike Bennett opened the scoring by hitting a 37-yard field goal and that success
enabled him to tie 2003 SJ Prep grad Pat Kaiser for the city record, with 26. Jamal
Abdur-Rahman, Tim Wade and wideout Sam Feleccia (55 yards; 21-160), who
received extended RB duty after Abdur-Rahman suffered a knee injury, ran for one
TD apiece. Drew Loughery passed 5-for-11 for 109 yards. Steve Sinnott (seven
tackles) forced/recovered a fumble and Vinny Migliarese intercepted a late pass.
The artificial surface was kept relatively decent by a snow plow and guys with
shovels. Due to safety concerns, La Salle officials canceled five buses (two for the
band, three for other students).
