football most think of former NFL players Al </div> <div> <B>Atkinson who played for the New York Jets or John Cappelletti who won the Heisman trophy at Penn State--before he played for the L.A. Rams and San Diego Chargers but let's go back to the </b><I><B>real</b></I><B> beginning.</b> </div> <div> <B>The slogan found in the 1957 edition of the Bon-Aire yearbook is - “A Variey of Persons, Places and Things Accounts For Our Spirit found Within”. Actually the Class of 1957 started their high school careers in 1953 at Archbishop Prendergast while Bonner was being built. While under construction it was hailed as the first high school with a college campus easily accessible from Philadelphia by bus; or by the Red Arrow trolley line out of Upper Darby's 69</b><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>th</b></FONT><B> St terminal serving the outlying suburban areas.</b> </div> <div> <B>Havertown's Dr. John N. Negrey , who played on Bonner's first football team reflects on what it was like to be one of the first students to attend this new high school and to play for a team that only had freshmen. ”It was a great experience because we were starting a team from scratch. There must have been over 150 kids that went out for the team. I remember that it was such a diverse group of guys from all areas from the Main Line to Darby and Sharon Hill. There was some terrific players on our first team. We were called Prendergast in 1953 but our colors were dark green and white just like today. We didn't have a level field to practice on and guys would get hurt a lot on the fields behind Prendergast. But we persevered and we were very competitive even though teams we were playing had seniors playing against our freshmen and sophomores those first couple of years.</b> </div> <div> <B>Head Coach Jack Ferrante , who had played for the Eagles, got us games all over the place since we were not in the Catholic League yet! We played in Red Bank, New Jersey and in South Philly against Neuman. We even went up to the coal regions in Pennsylvania and played those teams. Wherever we could get a game we would play. Ferrante was still friendly with the Eagles and would get Steve Van Buren and other Eagles to help out with the team. ( Hall of Fame player Van Buren was an assistant coach and is in the first team picture)</b> </div> <div> <B>I got my break when one of the coaches Joe “Hap” Appalucci called me over and said he had seen me play CYO ball at Sacred Heart in grade school. I got a chance to play halfback and also played defense. One of the best players was Dave Truitt who was our end. He made All-Catholic in 1956 and got a scholarship and played at Penn State. We had halfbacks Nick DeAngelis and Jim Belfie and linemen Tom Connelly and Tony Radano who also made the All-Catholic team that year. It was our first year in the Catholic League. So you can see we had some good players back then. I know we had a winning record that year. (Bonner was 5-3-2 in their first year in the Catholic League.) I can truly say that they were some of the best years of my life”.</b> </div> <div> <B>The first player to score a touchdown for Bonner (Prendergast) in a varsity game (September 1954) was Collingdale's halfback Willie Giallonardo. He lives in West Chester now and has been a painting contractor for the last 25 years after a 13 year teaching career in the Interboro School District. He spoke of his affection for his Bonner football and head coach too. </b></div> <div> <B>“ Ferrante liked Delaware County guys. Because he had started out playing football in the sand lots until he tried out for the Eagles he was a very down to earth guy . </b></div> <div> <B>( Bert Bell who owned the Eagles at the time sent him to the Wilmington Clippers where he became their scoring champion. He finally made the Eagles in 1944 and was a star end until 1950 ) I love the guy. He was more like a “father” figure than a coach. He taught us to be “the best” whether it was on the football field or any other thing we tried in life.</b> </div> <div> <B>Besides the Eagles that showed up at practice he had other guys that played College football in the area show up and help too. We had a line coach Dick Bjorklund, who had played at Drexel (Drexel had a football team back then) show up and really helped our line with blocking assignments. We became a very solid team running the ball. Those are the things that I'll never forget “. </b></div> <div> <B>I asked Willie if this guy was still around. </b><I><B>This</b></I><B> year's Eagles could probably use him. </b></div> <div> <B>Coach Jack Ferrante went on to post a 40-14-4 record in the Catholic League as Bonner's first coach. His teams won the Catholic League Championship in 1959 against LaSalle 6-0 then shut out Central 54-0 in the City Title game. And again in 1961 when they beat LaSalle 13-6 for the Catholic Crown and beat Southern 20-13 to give their retiring coach his 2</b><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>nd</b></FONT><B> city title in 3 years.
