UPPER PROVIDENCE — Pottsgrove’s football team had a number of special
honorees after recording an undefeated record in the Pioneer Athletic
Conference this past fall.
The Falcons featured a number of all-league players on offense and
defense as part of the 27th Annual All-Pioneer Athletic Conference
Banquet by the Football Coaches Association Sunday afternoon at the
RiverCrest Golf Club.
As it turns out, the Falcons also received another of the special awards that were presented.
Dan Harp received the prestigious David L. Freed Award for team sportsmanship.
“It is really an honor,” said Harp. “I was really shocked when I got
it. Coach (Rick) Pennypacker pulled me aside a couple weeks ago and told
me to be at this banquet because I was going to be getting this. I am
really honored to get it.”
Harp played on the special teams for Pottsgrove. But he was honored
for qualities such as dedication, continuous self-improvement, team
success over individual statistics, self-discipline, coachability,
loyalty to coaches and teammates and unquestioning faith.
