1960 State Championship Game
Farrell 60   Radnor 41

The feature article in the March 28, 1960 edition of the Sharon Herald  proclaimed that "Farrell is the unchallengeable basketball  capital of Pennsylvania"   --"they proved that fact conclusively when they rolled up their fifth PIAA Class A championship with a 60-41 victory over Radnor at the Farm Show Arena in Harrisburg."  (Remember, in 1960 the classifications were A, B, C, then later they were renamed AAA, AA, A, then they were expanded to AAAA, AAA, AA, and A).
Farrell took the lead 23-22 with 2 seconds in the half when Brian Generalovich tipped in a missed shot.
"Farrell High School became the only school in Pennsylvania history and Coach McCluskey the only mentor to ever win five state crowns, the last two in a row."
