Lock Haven Football set to honor former coach Jack Fisher Saturday

LOCK HAVEN, PA – The Lock Haven football team will honor former coach Jack Fisher Saturday, Oct. 15. The Bald Eagles host Bloomsburg at 1 p.m.

Coach Fisher, a Lock Haven Football Hall of Famer, led the Bald Eagles as head coach for nine seasons from 1978-86.

“I am thrilled to be honoring coach Jack Fisher this Saturday,” said Dan Mulrooney, who is in his first year as head coach at Lock Haven. “When I first took the job here, I quickly realized how much passion the alumni have for The Haven. Haven Pride is very real, and Coach Fisher is loved by our alumni and supporters.”

Most notably, Fisher led Lock Haven to the 1979 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championship in just his second season as head coach. The Bald Eagles were 9-2 overall during that season and a perfect 6-0 in PSAC West play. Led by Coach Fisher, The Haven outscored opponents 314-168 on the way to the title.

Following the 1979 season, Fisher was named PSAC Coach of the Year.

Prior to taking over head coaching duties at Lock Haven in 1978, Fisher was an assistant coach at The Haven for four seasons from 1974-77.

During his time at Lock Haven, Fisher coached four All-Americans, seven ECAC All-Stars and 79 All-Conference student-athletes.

Saturday’s (Oct. 15) Week-7 PSAC Eastern Division game versus Bloomsburg will kick off at 1 p.m. at Hubert Jack Stadium.
