My HS football team played the Old Forge Blue Devils in the 60's. Your reference is no doubt to the town's large Italian American population.

Old Forge had a coach named Elio Chigiarelli. He, like my team's head coach, was definitely not somebody a player wanted to piss off. I still remember halftimes at our Old Forge games when each coach seemed to be competing over which one could assault more of his players for screwing up in the first half!!!!! God, I'm old!!!!

PS: I seem to recall Old Forge had a running back named Scavo (sp?). He played at Arizona State for that hard-case coach Frank Kush. Coach Chigiarelli no doubt prepared him well for Coach Kush.
