2023 SCHUYLKILL HAVEN HURRICANES FOOTBALL
Welcome to the 2023 season of Hurricane Football- the 99th in
the history of the Schuylkill Haven Football program. In the previous 98
seasons, the Hurricanes have an all-time record of 587 wins, 409 losses and 27
ties in 1,023 games- a .587 winning percentage. The all-time record includes 45
wins and 24 loses in 69 playoff games- a .652 winning percentage.
The 2023 season will be the third for the Schuylkill Haven
Football team as part of the Colonial-Schuylkill League scheduling
co-operative. The Hurricanes are members of the White Division along with
long-time foes Minersville and Panther Valley. Also in the division are
Colonial League members Catasauqua, Palisades and Pen Argyl. Non-Divisional
games on the schedule include Marian, Nativity, Williams Valley, Tri-Valley and
Blue Mountain.
Head Coach Mike Farr – Returning for his 19th season, the
Hurricanes are again led by coach Mike Farr- the 11th varsity
head football coach at Schuylkill Haven High School. Through 18 seasons, Coach
Farr has an overall record of 121 wins and 89 losses in 210 games- a .576 winning
percentage.
2022 Season Recap – The Hurricanes played a 10-game schedule and finished
the 2022 campaign with a record of 2 wins and 8 loses. The 2022 season was only
the fifth time dating back to 2000 that Schuylkill Haven had failed to qualify
for post-season play. It also marked the first time missing the postseason
in back-to-back years since the 1989 and 1990 seasons. Also of note in 2022 was
the absence of games against long-time opponents Mahanoy Area or Shenandoah
Valley. Not playing a game vs. Mahanoy Area (or the schools merged to form
that district as we know it today- Mahanoy Twp H.S. and Mahanoy City H.S.) has
broken a streak of 85 consecutive seasons played- dating back to 1938. No
game played vs. Shenandoah Valley has broken a streak of 46 consecutive seasons
played- dating back to 1976.
HAVEN PRIDE!
