Former Tennent Football Coach to be Inducted into WCU Hall of Fame
The veteran math teacher is also an all-star athlete and will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at his alma matter, West Chester University, Friday night.
Frank Petrone may be a brain at Arcola Intermediate School in Eagleville, but he's got a storied history as a jock. That history will be celebrated this Friday, April 19, when Petrone will be inducted into West Chester University's W. Glenn Killinger Football Hall of Fame.
Petrone, a 7th-grade math teacher at Arcola, played defensive lineman at WCU in the late 1960s/early '70s and continued his gridiron career as an assistant coach at Bishop Kenrick and William Tennant high schools.
Petrone and his wife Linda currently live in Cedars. He is the father of two children, Andria Petrone Bagley of Boston, Mass. and Phillip Petrone of Conshohocken.
