Pottsgrove Falcons Beat Strath Haven!!

After four years of losing to Strath Haven, the Pottsgrove Falcons finally won!  In a gutsy move, Pottsgrove went for a two-point conversion and beat Strath Haven 29-28.  If the Falcons would have failed to score, it would be been five straight years Strath Haven has shut Pottsgrove out.

The Falcons are 10-2 for the year and will face Phoenixville in next week’s district championship game.

We congratulate the Pottsgrove Falcons for their win over Strath Haven and wish them well next week against Phoenixville.
