Sandy Lord writes ~
Brothers Shane Lord (class of 2011) and Shawn Lord (class of 2013) and an Uncle Dan"Buddha" Lanich (class of 1980) and cousin
Charlie Lanich (class of 2006) who played for the Curwensville Golden Tide. Submitted by Sandy Lord (mom).
From Eric Reinke ~ My late cousin, Dave Spingola, ran for 1200 yds in 1980 as a senior as I blocked for him as a pulling guard.
Dave unfortunately passed away a couple years ago much too soon. Eric Reinke
Drew Jordan played in 1966-'68, Terry Jordan in 1984-'86 and now Trey is carrying on the tradition
in 2010 -'12 ( Father , Son, Grandson )
( Submitted by Tpr. Terry Jordan whose sister Erin & daughter Brooke are on the girls' basketball "Family Affair" list. )
And I ran into Terry at the Penns Valley game and he mentioned another set Bison Football brothers -
Don and Danny Lynch, and that he, Terry, is a cousin of the Wisor brothers mentioned below.
And these ( All submitted by Trina Janocko who of course ought to know a bit on the subject. ) . . .

Brothers Jim & Jon McNeil
Brothers Wes & Eric Dahlem
Dad Tim Meckey ( former football coach ), sons Matt & Kurt Meckey

After the season and things calm down a bit I'll get them all arranged into categories . . .
meanwhile, keep those cards and letters coming !
To illustrate the kinds of combinations we have in mind, here are just a few of the most obvious

Coach Forrest Campman and sons Curtis, Jarrin and Trey.
The Morgan brothers - Isiah and Derek.
Brothers Beau and David Ryan.

Coach Dan Putt, brother Stephen, Dad Larry Putt and uncle Bill Putt ~
and Larry & Bill's uncle Vic Jones.
Christian Lezzer and his uncles Chad & Josh Kroell and great-uncle Tim Potts.
Then of course there's Grandad Kenny Lezzer, Dad K.C. Lezzer, Great Uncle Pete Lezzer, 2nd Cousins
Mike & Dave Lezzer, something cousin Denny Lezzer, and a whole bunch of other Lezzers who all
played up river for the Golden Tide - but that's a subject for another website to handle.
And . . . Christian's first cousin Alex Holland is lighting up the scoreboard for the Tide. Alex's Dad and
Mom are Tim and Diane ( Lezzer ) Holland.

In looking through Coach Albright's History of CHS Football I noticed that in the years 1929-1932 the
Bison's Head Coach was Mr. Fred E. Sweely and that got me to wondering so I contacted Sandy Myers for confirmation of my suspicions. Sandy's reply ~
" Paul,
I attempted to send you this information last week, but for some reason or another it never got to you. My computer at home said "Unable to Send" -- or something like that. Modern technology! More likely, it was un-modern Sandy who hit the wrong keys!!!
Here is what I wrote:
Robbie Myers (Class of 2012)
Grandpa ~ Stan Fink (1950-1952)
Great Grandpa ~ Coach Fred Sweely (1928-1932)
(Robbie's mom and aunts played Powder Puff Football while at CHS -- if that counts: Sharon, Susie, and Sandy Fink) : )
And the B. Fink guy in my dad's class is his cousin Bob. Thanks, Paul!
Sandy "
Wow ~ that's just the kind of neat, little-known kind of stuff we really appreciate.
Mr. Sweely had a long career with the Clearfield School District ~ the 1939 Bison lists him as "Director of Athletics" and he was later County School Superintendent in the days before the CIU's. He also played football at Dickinson College from 1924-1927 and is in that school's football Hall of Fame.
In addition, Jess Sweely ( CHS '56 - a cousin of Sandy's Mom, Nancy (Sweely) Fink ), played for the Bison in 1954 & 1955.
