From 1-9 to 11-2: How Dr. Cella’s Triple Option Football Academy Forever Changed Haverford Football
July 28, 2025
“We switched to the flexbone from the spread in 2023 and took our lumps, going 1-9. In 2024, we brought in Dr. Cella for our mini-camp in the spring and he absolutely changed the way that we thought about the offense. Dr. Cella was efficient and helped our players really nail down the concepts that we needed to be successful. His practice plan and methodology of coaching has changed our program for the better. We went 11-2 in 2024, winning our first home playoff game in school history, tied for most wins in program history and won our league title for the first time since 2015 and only the fourth time in the 40+ years of being in our league. Dr. Cella was an amazing resource that continues to help us grow as a program. We can’t thank him enough!”
