A Love Affair
With Football
In his four decades as a sports writer for two Scranton (PA) newspapers, Guy Valvano found no egos among the numerous high school football coaches who crossed his path. The same was true when he embarked on his second book about high school football, "A Love Affair with Football." The book deals with high school head coaches who later became assistants, many of them jumping at the opportunity to contribute in a different way. All but a few of the 37 coaches interviewed for the book found the move an enjoyable experience. They didn't mind placing themselves in a position where they no longer were in command of the program. In fact, they embraced it. For many of them, returning ot their "apprenticeship" days was somewhat like a refreshing change of pace. And, because of the selflessness of these coaches, many high school football programs in Northeastern Pennsylvania experienced a rebirth.
Guy Valvano became fascinated with high school athletics while an elementary student in the Dunmore School District. When he moved on to high school he became a member of the Dunmore High School basketball team and kept close to other sports by keeping score for the baseball teams and serving as the statistician of the football team. Valvano started his newspaper career late in the summer of 1946, a few months after his graduation from high school. He was hired as a copy boy by The Scranton Tribune, a morning daily, and its sister newspaper, The Scrantonian, a Sunday publication. After six months, he was promoted to correspondent, a position he held for 2 1/2 years, before his appointment to the general news staff of the two newspapers. Valvano covered high school, college, and amateur athletics during his 43 years as an employee of the newspapers. At the time of his retirement in 1990, he was sports editor of The Scrantonian and assistant sports editor of The Scranton Tribune. Two years after his retirement, he resurfaced as sports information director at Lackawanna Junior College, retiring after 11 years to follow the athletic pursuits of his grandchildren. Other books written by Guy Valvano are "The Dream Lives On", a history of the football Dream Game; "State Champions", which chronicles the Scranton area teams that won state basketball titles, and "Royals of Renown", a tribute to the men's and women's basketball teams at the University of Scranton that captured national championships.
