Haverford holds Cardinals to six second half points in comeback.
Players on the Upper Dublin girls’ basketball team weren't quite sure what hit them Wednesday night. At halftime, it appeared to be business as usual; the Lady Cardinals had just built themselves a 10-point lead by playing their trademark stingy defense and scoring off turnovers, and would only need 16 more minutes of smart basketball to defeat visiting Haverford High School Fords and punch a ticket to states. The sixth-seeded Cardinals would march on, and 11th seeded Haverford could fight it out in the consolations of the District 1 AAAA basketball tournament. But then everything, and nothing, happened. The everything was a fiery Haverford team clawing back, led by senior center Sharee Halstead's play in the paint, as a raucous visiting …

Keith Heinerichs has helped the Fords get off to a good start.
Keith Heinerichs wasn’t about to revisit something he was already well aware of when he first took over as head coach of the Haverford High School boys’ basketball team. A number of controversies sprung when Fords’ previous long-time coach Terry McNichol wasn’t retained after last season, including some undeserved criticism aimed at the team from the local community. Heinerichs knew about the situation, and though he was coaching at the time at Ridley High School, he does live in Havertown. He has ears. He heard the talk. It didn’t matter. Heinerichs’ goal this season was simple: Coach the team up and focus on the present and the future. There was no changing the past. To Heinerichs’ credit, he’s done a very good job of staying in the …

Haverford High School junior Brian Gormley wins a LG 55” 3D TV.
When most high school soccer players kick the game-winning goal, they usually get a pat on the back. But Haverford High School junior Brian Gormley got a LG 55” 3D TV. It all started when Gormley and the rest of the Fords played against Upper Darby High School in an Oct. 15 game when Teddy Thorogood kicked the ball to the 17-year-old Gormley, where the left forward kicked a spectacular shot into the goal for a 3-2 win, as seen by the YouTube video of the shot. Gormley explained to the Haverford-Havertown Patch in a phone interview that one of the players parents recorded his play and sent it to the Verizon FiOS Play of the Week contest, where the company would present the best soccer video submitted and people would vote for the best one…

Haverford never trailed and topped the home Tigers 23-20.
Despite a two-touchdown performance by Marple Newtown running back Cimirrow Moat, the Haverford High School Fords opened up a ten point lead in the third quarter and hung on to win their fifth game of the season. IN SHORT With a minute remaining and his Tigers trailing by a field goal, quarterback Jamie Ridinger surveyed the defense and lined up under center. Ten yards shy of a first down and with one play left to get it, Ridinger took the snap, faked right to his fullback and dropped back into a tenuous pocket. With pressure pinching at his sides, the senior shrugged his shoulders by way of a pump fake and fired downfield. The good news? The ball was caught past the yardstick. The bad? It was a Ford who caught it. Just like that, the …

The Fords were plagued by turnovers again.
The signs were all there for everyone to see and know. There was no hiding it. No getting around it. And there was no way it could continue, if Haverford High School had hoped to beat a quality undefeated team like Springfield. Yet it did. Turnovers that have plagued the Fords throughout this season came back again to sting a number of times, spelling a 27-0 loss to Springfield in a game postponed by rain and played Saturday night at Haverford’s new refurbished field. The loss drops the Fords to 1-3 overall and 0-3 in the Central League, while Springfield improved to a pristine 4-0 and 3-0 in the league. Five turnovers are what did in the Fords. “Turnovers, turnovers, period,” Fords’ senior two-way lineman Dylan Cullen said. “Too many …

The Fords used big plays to win 40-7 .
The black specs of rubber kicked up with every stop and start. Haverford High School’s newly renovated field was being christened, but not exactly in the way Fords coach Joe Gallagher and his team were expecting Friday night. The Fords turned the ball over two times on their first three possessions, were stung with what seemed like a myriad of penalties, and bore through it all win a convincing 40-7 Central League victory over Lower Merion. It was the first victory of the season for the Fords, who move to 1-2 overall and 1-1 in the Central League, while Lower Merion fell to 1-2 overall and 0-2 in the league. “It’s a win, and you always have to be pleased when you win, and we’re just not very happy with a lot of things that happened,” …

Terry McNichol was a horrible coach, played favorites and like most haverford basketball coaches a bit bias... It is a shame the basketball program was run under such circumstances; forcing true athletes to play in the shadows of neighborhood courtyards, never given the chance to excel at the sport they loved most. At the time the program was not about winning; it was about satisfying a certain … more ›
