Joe Colistra, an alumnus,
coached La Salle High's football team for 21 seasons (1985-2005), winning
153
games and four Catholic League championships. He won his first crown in 1989
with a triumph over Roman Catholic. Here is that story . . .
By Ted
Silary
Catholic League coaches in all sports are frantically checking their
school's enrollment lists today.
Their hope is to find someone, anyone, named Brian Daly. That handle
brings championships.
In March 1988, Brian Daly scored a game-record 30 points as Monsignor Bonner
topped North Catholic, 62-59, for the Catholic League basketball title.
In December 1989 - last Saturday, in fact - another Brian Daly made a
game- record three interceptions from his safety position and returned the
second-half kickoff for a 72-yard touchdown as La Salle bested Roman
Catholic, 13-0, at Villanova for the Catholic League football title, its
first since 1960.
"I remember when Bonner won with Brian Daly," said this Brian Daly. "I'm
not much of a basketball fan, but that was neat. I kept reading about him in
the paper. People kept asking if we were related - we're not. The best part
is, our names are spelled the exact same way."
Saturday, Daly spelled d-o-o-m for Roman.
Along with Jerry Rock and Jim McGoldrick (one interception apiece), Daly
helped limit quarterback Jim McGeehan to six completions in 27 attempts for
84 yards.
McGeehan, because of an ongoing battle with the flu, had not practiced
all week.
"Jimmy doesn't want excuses made for him," said Roman coach Ed Brodbine,
whose team finished with a 9-4 record. "But his timing was off. He was a
sick, sick kid. He was tired even before the game. At the half he was as
pale as a ghost. He got us here. We had to go with him. But he probably
shouldn't have been out here."
Said McGeehan, whose final career passing totals are 206 completions in
472 attempts for 3,271 yards and 26 TDs: "That flu business, that didn't
bother me. I just had a bad game."
Incredibly, the interceptions were the first of the season for Daly, a
5-11, 185-pound senior and a coaches' first team All-Catholic selection.
"Early last week, just joking around," said defensive tackle Keith
Conlin, a 6-7, 245-pound junior with great promise, "coach 'Stein'
(assistant John Steinmetz) told Brian he was probably the first d-back in La
Salle history to make All-Catholic without having an interception. See, the
d-backs have a little contest going for interceptions. Then Brian goes out
today and gets three."
For the first time all season, Daly said, his position was more free
safety than strong safety.
"Usually, I'm paying attention to the run," he said. "But we respected
Roman's speed and their passing, so I was back a little deeper and I had
free rein on pass coverage. It was the first time I could just go for the
ball."
Coach Joe Colistra's Explorers, who finished 10-2, posted five shutouts,
allowed just 27 points in their last nine games and yielded an average of
95.7 yards in total offense in three playoff victories, needed all the
defense they could muster. Their own offensive yield - 51 yards, two
first downs (one on a penalty) - was pitiful.
Linebackers Delano Benton (eight tackles) and Derek Keough (five) and
tackle Dan Reining (seven tackles plus a blocked punt) were Roman's
defensive leaders.

Said Brodbine of his defenders: "They
didn't know they weren't supposed to be that good."
The only break La Salle would need occurred nine minutes into the game.
As McGeehan retreated from the Roman 22,
looking to pass, the ball was knocked loose by linebacker Martin Feeny. It
then bounced into the end zone, and end Jim
onvey recovered for a touchdown.
"I was hoping Jim would miss it. I wanted that one," kidded Conlin, who
was right with Convey.
"All game, we just wanted to keep the pressure on. To us, Jim McGeehan was
Jack Stanczak (star quarterback for La Salle
in '88). We said that all week. We had two guys being him in practice - Joe
McNichol for passing, Geoff Crawford for
unning. I'm not as quick sideline to sideline as I am going straight
upfield, so I liked it when they passed. Beating blockers.
Getting upfield. I love that."
On the second half kickoff, Daly scored his third return touchdown of the
season (the others were on punts). When Kevin
Myers's low kick skidded through an Explorer, it appeared that Daly might
opt for merely flopping on the ball.
Brian Daly? You kidding?
"There was time," Daly said. "The guys weren't close yet. I figured I
could pick it up, gain a couple of yards. I didn't think I
was going to gain . . . how long was it? I barely made it between the first
two guys, then kept running."
This story was written after Joe
steered the Explorers to a 14-0 overall record -- best
in city history -- and the 1996 championship . . .
By Ted Silary
The football gods can release a collective sigh. The unthinkable hasn't
happened.
With decades of data on their side, the gods mandate that a team must run
successfully to win a title. And now, they still
don't have to scramble to alter that mandate.
Yes, La Salle High did roar to victory in first 13 games this season
without receiving a 100-yard performance from any of
its rushers. But then came game No. 14 and the Explorers, somehow,
transformed themselves from Team Pass into Team
Stay Close to the Grass, er, Mud.
On a playing surface at Northeast High made sloppy-to-treacherous by
heavy rains overnight, La Salle last night won its
econd consecutive Catholic League title by downing Father Judge, 20-7.
The hero - Mike Durso.
His primary duty - running!
"Had to happen sometime,'' the smiling Durso said with a shrug. ``Have to
run to win, right?''
Durso, a 5-9, 170-pound senior, rushed 22 times for 113 yards and a
touchdown as the Explorers extended their winning
streak to 25 games and became the first team in city history to have a
14-win season (they won 11 to finish last season
after an 0-2 start).
That effort more than complemented a respectable, but hardly spectacular,
passing effort turned in by junior quarterback
Brett Gordon (16-for-33, 162 yards, one TD). Durso's previous rushing high
this fall had been a 91-yard effort in a
egular-season game against Bishop McDevitt.
Durso knew his contributions were huge. At game's end, he quickly
snatched the championship plaque and pranced
around the track on the home side, showing it off to reporters, cameramen
and La Salle's boisterous fans.
When a teammate reached for the plaque, Durso stepped back and said with
a laugh, "You can look, but don't touch.''
He could have added, "And don't step on my feet!''
Feet have been a sore subject for Durso since late October, when he tried
to score on a goal-line plunge against Archbishop
Wood and wound up getting his toes bent backward.
Durso did not play at all in the Explorers' final two Catholic North
games, carried just once in a quarterfinal, then eased
back to almost full-time duty in a semifinal and the Thanksgiving game
against St. Joseph's Prep.
Last night, he felt chipper.
"He told me he was taking his first carry 60 yards for a score,'' Gordon
said. "I told him, `Great, I hope you do.' ''
Instead, Durso settled for 18 yards. But the run set an early tone and
increased the confidence he felt from having filled
an important role in last year's championship game (14-7 over Archbishop
Ryan).
"This was the first week of practice where I wasn't in a lot of pain,''
Durso said. "I had a good feeling, like it was going to
be a good night.
"Coach Gordon [Drew, Brett's father and the offensive coordinator] was
saying all week, `We have to prove we can run.'
Actually, he said, `We have to run.' We knew we could do it. Using a
three-man line and dropping eight guys back, that's
inviting the run. If you don't do it . . . ''
La Salle's first series yielded Gordon's 23-yard field goal. Late in the
first quarter, Judge's Pat Dowling muffed Drew
Middlemiss' punt and Matt Maloney recovered on the 25. Durso collected all
25 yards to get the ball into the end zone, 9
on a reception, and 7 and 9 on runs.
The teams scored on three consecutive possessions in the third quarter,
as Jim Casey's 1-yard run for Judge was
sandwiched by Gordon's 34-yard field goal and his 33-yard pass to Jeff
Pietrak.
Though the Crusaders at times seemed poised to provide stiffer
opposition, they kept committing killer penalties. Prime
example: With the help of a roughing-the-kicker call, La Salle in the fourth
quarter was able to hold the ball from 8:39
until Gordon took a knee at the Judge 13 with 0:25 left.
In all, the Explorers rushed 35 times for 144 yards.
"They were giving us the run,'' Gordon said. ``We ran it well early,
which kept them honest, and made it easy to pass.''
Gordon finished the season 170-for-298 for 2,054 yards and 28 TDs. His
varsity career - with one year to go,
remember - has produced 307 completions in 583 attempts for 4,190 yards and
51 TDs.
"We planned for two scenarios,'' coach Joe Colistra said. ``One, Judge
would sit back and play pass defense or two,
come after us. We game-planned for both. The thing was, whatever Judge was
doing, we had faith in Brett being able
to come up to the line and know when to check off."
Said Brett Gordon: "Really, we didn't audible tonight as much as we did
in some games. Judge didn't do a lot of
changing up. They stuck with the three-man line. That meant we could go with
runs right out of the huddle.''
Considering that La Salle returned eight defensive starters this season -
as well as Gordon, star wideout Mike Mattia
and Durso - one would probably not be off base (pardon the baseball
reference) in saying this title does not come as
a surprise.
The 14-0 record, yes. But not the championship.
"Oh, I can't say that,'' Colistra said. "You've stood beside our kids.
There's not too much to them. I mean, we have
175-pound tackles. I will say one thing: We might be small, but we're quick
and courageous.
"To go through 14 games perfect, it is amazing. Something [North Catholic
coach] John Quinn told me early this
season really stuck with me. He said when you play in this league, you can't
get over winning and you can't get over
losing because you have to get ready for another game. There's always
someone coming after you.''
That someone is sometimes a reporter.
How would you, Colistra was asked, compare this championship team with
last year's?
"I'm not going to try,'' he said, smiling.
This story was written
after Joe nailed down his third championship in four years . . .
By Ted Silary
So, how has your last calendar year unfolded?
Perhaps not as well as Gabe Marabella's.
In the fall of last year, Marabella was one of three guys sharing time at
quarterback on La Salle High's freshman
football team.
Saturday night, in a relief role, with 7,000 fans bearing witness at
balmy Northeast High, he helped guide the
Explorers to a 17-3 win over Archbishop Ryan and the Catholic League title,
their third in four seasons and fourth
in 10.
With La Salle's offense experiencing, as coach Joe Colistra called it, "a
constipation problem,'' Marabella came off
the bench late in the first half.
Ryan's 3-0 lead held until intermission, but Marabella completed his
first pass for an 18-yard gain to Matt Chapman,
then Mr. Versatility, Chris Pennington - having moved from QB to running
back - motored for 27 yards on the final
lay of the half.
The good vibrations felt like an earthquake.
"We talked about it all week - don't be afraid to make the move,''
Colistra said of switching Pennington to running
back. "We couldn't fret. It would be, `Do it. Move on.'
"We decided to do it then because it gave us a chance to get a feel for
what would happen before we went into the
locker room. We looked more fluid. Putting Chris in another position spread
out the defense.''
The 5-11, 150-pound Marabella finished 6-for-9 for 117 yards. He hit
Chapman for 17 yards on the first possession
of the second half, which yielded Mike Savage's 39-yard field goal. Next
time around, he was dead on target with a
51-yard, up-the-sideline bomb to Mike Cattie and Pennington ran 1 yard for
the decisive TD three plays later.
And not to overlook . . .
After La Salle's Tim McDonald recovered a fumble on his 23 midway through
the fourth quarter, Marabella
converted two gigantic third-down plays - picking up 6 yards on a draw and
showing nice touch on an 18-yard pass
to tight end Mike DeCrescio (he displayed great concentration while jumping)
- and then watched in glee as
Pennington (17 carries, 135 yards) cruised 47 yards for a clinching TD at
1:45.
Marabella first saw significant, non-mopup playing time Oct. 17 in a win
over Father Judge.
Thereafter, La Salle's coaches vacillated on whether the offense would
fare better with Pennington or Marabella at
QB. During the semifinal win over Cardinal O'Hara, for instance, Marabella
was only a spectator.
"I was thinking that they might not use me tonight,'' Marabella said.
"But the coaches had said, `You could go in
at any given time, so be ready.' I watched what was going on, tried to stay
ready.
"I was a little nervous at first. After the first play, I felt great. It
helped greatly being out there with Chris.
Whatever you ask him to do, he does it. He's been helping me all year with
quarterbacking.''
Marabella had always played quarterback in youth football, so he was
thrown for something of a loop on the
freshman team when he wound up playing QB and running back and wideout.
"When he came back this fall, Gabe separated himself from the other two
quarterbacks from that freshman
team,'' Colistra said. "I'm comfortable with him because of his personality.
He doesn't fluster. We tell him to do
this or do that and he just says, `OK.'
"We put pressure on him. He responded. We scrimmage full-bore every
Tuesday or Wednesday. Sometimes
both days. If you want to be physical, you have to practice physical. We
do.''
While Marabella and Pennington were leading the offense, the defense was
making sure Ryan would go without
a touchdown in the title game for the second straight year.
The starters were ends John Poley and McDonald, tackles Chris Kerns and
Joe Dillon, nose guard Ernie Barile,
linebackers Chris Dougherty and Kevin Merlini, cornerbacks Sean Kent and
Jordan Mulrain and safeties
Kevin Dougherty (Chris's twin) and Paul Colistra (Joe's son). Subs Travis
Manion and Ben Bailey helped on the
line while Pennington made several big plays at cornerback.
On Thanksgiving, the Explorers surrendered 300-plus yards to St. Joseph's
Prep, but eked out a 13-9 victory.
"Just being able to win that game gave us confidence,'' Kerns said.
``Before that, being able to stop [rusher
supreme] Kevin Jones and O'Hara gave us the feeling, `If we can beat them,
we can beat anybody. ' We had
to stand our ground tonight. We did it pretty well.''
TITLE TIDBITS Mike Savage's field goal was his 11th of the season,
tying a Catholic League mark set in
1990 by Ryan's Brian Hamill. Savage finished the season with 65 points . . .
Joe Colistra is 4-0 in title games
. . . Ryan defenders Jim Hughes and John Brightcliffe both went out with
knee injuries.
Below are the players who earned first or second team Coaches' All-Catholic honors during
Joe
Colistra's 21 seasons as the coach at La Salle.

1989
At Villanova Stadium
La Salle 13, Roman 0
Brian Daly made three interceptions -- he'd had none all
season despite earning All-Catholic honors -- and returned the
second-half kickoff 72 yards for a TD as La Salle took its first title
since 1960. The Explorers, who generated just 51 yards total offense and
two first downs, scored their other TD on Jim Convey's end-zone recovery
of a fumble forced by Martin Feeny. For Roman, Delano Benton made eight
tackles while flu-hampered QB Jim McGeehan was held to 84 yards on
6-for-27 passing.
1995
At Northeast
La Salle 14, Ryan 7
Wearing heavy padding to protect a break at the base of his
left thumb, Mike Durso collected 43 yards and a TD on 10 carries. Kyle
Mallach added 50 yards and a score on eight carries. By going 9-for-18
for 109 yards, soph QB Brett Gordon finished the season with 2,136 yards
and 23 TDs, one short of the city-leagues record. Keith Lachawiec made
four sacks and two other tackles for losses. For Ryan, Chris Cavallaro
