DISTRICT 11 HISTORY:
Some Allen history: J Birney Crum became the head coach in 1925. Over the next 25 years, Crum would have 6 unbeaten teams and finish with 190 wins, 51 losses, and 17 ties. Crum never lost a season opener. In 1934 they played 2 games on the same day to start the season. They beat McAdoo in the first game then defeated Lehighton in the 2nd game. His 1930 team gave up only 18 points in 11 games and his 1946 team scored 466 points in 11 games. In that 1946 season Elmo Jackson would score 14 td’s and his brother, Tommy would score 10. Pauley Clymer scored 12 td’s and Bill “Beechy” Muhr kicked a whopping 50 extra points. Elmo Jackson would score 31 career td’s which is still a record at Allen. Muhr would kick an unheard of (back then) 94 total extra points in his 3-year career. The old Coffield stadium seated 6,500 people. In 1948 they opened the 18,000-seat Allentown High School Stadium. Years later the stadium was expanded to 22,640 seats. Then the visitor bleachers were removed in 2002 and the current stadium now seats 15,000.
