History

Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania was founded in 1870, and played their first football games in 1900, when the school was known as Central State Normal School.[1] The team was very successful in the early 1930s, winning the "Pennsylvania State Teachers College football championship" in 1930, 1931, 1933, and 1936.[2] They were founding members of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, joining it in 1951, and won their first conference championship in 1957.[3] They were coached that year by Hubert Jack, who their current stadium is named after. The school's most recent conference championship was in 1979, after compiling a 9–2 record and outscoring opponents 314–168.[4] The team declined in the following years, and have compiled a record of 2–9 or worse in eight of their last ten seasons.
