From the Valley News Dispatch-September 13, 2006

From its humble beginnings a half century ago, the Knoch High School football program has come a long way, with 230 football victories, including one WPIAL championship in 1978. The school played its first football game 50 years ago this week.
On Sept. 15, 1956, Knoch, then known as South Butler County Joint High School, took the field against Shenango and sustained a 41-0 loss. That same day, groundbreaking ceremonies were held on land bequeathed to the community by William and Eva Knoch to be used for the new high school at its current location near the Saxonburg-Jefferson Township border. The first year of the school was a carryover from the former Winfield-Clinton High School.

Saxonburg Borough students, along with Penn and Jefferson Township pupils, came on board to inaugurate the program. Unlike other school consolidations, none of the individual areas ever had football.

"It was quite an eye-opening experience," said John Masarik, the school's first head coach. "We had no practice field, and that area had never experienced any football. We were limited in the equipment we could buy -- it was an uphill battle all the way."

The new team had 14 players on the first team, and there was little flat land by the old Winfield School for the team to practice on.

"There were no goal posts -- we couldn't practice our kicking game," Masarik recalled. "There were some rough times trying to sell the program."

There was no home field, so all games were on the road.

The second week, Masarik's team battled another new school in its first year of existence, Richland Township, now known as Pine-Richland. It resulted in a 27-0 setback. With all the trials and tribulations, it was amazing that the team actually won two games that first season with victories over Karns City and Moniteau, to go 2-3. Knoch used Pullman Park for a 1957 "home" game against East Brady while the new school was under construction. When Knoch High School opened its doors in 1958, there was no football stadium, though the team used a pasture from an adjacent farm to practice for an eight-game road schedule.

"We literally had to get the farmer to move his cows so we could practice," Masarik said. "We had all kinds of ruts to overcome, cow pies, you name it."

After a 2-6 record with exclusively road games, Masarik gave the school administration an ultimatum: get a place to play home games "even if it means playing in the middle of Dinnerbell Road."

Industrialist Carl Jones of Penn United, also a school board member at the time, was a vital part of getting a home field. Finally, on Sept. 28, 1959, Knoch Knights Stadium opened before a sellout crowd. Richland's Bill Habay scored the new stadium's first touchdown on an early 71-yard run.

Denny Seybold scored Knoch's first TD in the second period of the game eventually won by the Rams, 34-21. Masarik's final goal in the early years was to get the school to move from PIAA District 9 to the WPIAL.

"I wanted to get to the WPIAL eventually because of the competition," Masarik said.

In 1964, Knoch left the Butler County League for the Allegheny Interscholastic Conference, and the program has never looked back. Knoch football has been a model of stability with only six head coaches over 50 years -- Masarik, Bob King, Tim Karrs, Larry Kunselman, Paul Giesey and Mike King, son of Bob King, who is in his eighth season. Masarik left Knoch after 13 seasons and went to Highlands to continue his career as a health, physical education and aquatics teacher, retiring after 34 years. He lives in Harrison Township and still is in contact with young people as the manager of the Sylvan Pool in Harrison.

Knoch will open its Greater Allegheny Conference season Friday at home against Greensburg Salem in one of the area's most modern facilities, representing a district that boasts many suburban-type residential tracts while maintaining its rural character.

And the players won't have to skirt cow pies during the game.
