Mr. Puskar, our head coach, has just finished his second year at East Huntingdon. Before coming to East Huntingdon, he taught and coached at Johnstown Catholic. Coach Puskar attended St. Vincent College where he was a backfield star for four years. While there he made the little all Pennsylvania football team as a halfback. Mr. Crawford, our assistant coach, has been teaching and coaching at East Huntingdon for five years. He coached the Jr. Varsity before he became assistant. Mr. Crawford's college career was interrupted by the navy but he was still able to attend Bethany, Slippery Rock, and Wlaynesburg colleges where he starred in football, basketball, and track.
