History at Haverford High - A Little Patience

A Little Patience

The Haverford high school basketball team beat the Wissahickon basketball team last night in a district playoff game to advance to the PA state playoffs for the first time since 1970, 44 years ago.

After the win, the stunned student body rushed the court and a ladder was brought out for the team to cut down the net.  The team did not win a championship but the celebration was on and 44 years of frustration was unleashed.

The students who don't have much experience in cheering now have team that is bound for the state playoffs.  The celebration was jubilant, it was a great time to be in the building, to share the moment, to bask in the joy.

The saying goes that infinite patience brings immediate results.  Maybe.

44 years is a long time to wait.

Thankfully, the wait is over.

Go Fords!

With Love,

Tom Kaufmann
