4/14/08 – Boys’ Notebook: Veteran coach Hewlings has Emmaus on the rise
By Chris Goldberg
Phillylacrosse.com, Posted 4/14/08
Jef Hewlings has successfully built lacrosse programs from the ground up with fewer tools, so he believes his new job at Emmaus is the ideal place in his return home.
Hewlings, a 1976 Ridley graduate who turned Penncrest into a highly-respected program in the 1990s, returned from New York state this spring to take over the reigns at Emmaus.
The Green Hornets have been one of the big stories of the season – although Hewlings would prefer nobody know his team is 7-1 and ranked 10th by Phillylacrosse.com. Hewlings has deep roots in Philadelphia lacrosse circles. He started as an assistant coach at Malvern Prep in 1981 and served as head coach there for several years until 1987. He was an assistant at Ridley for a year and then had a strong stint coaching at Penncrest from 1989-99.

When Mike DiPuppo read that the boys’ lacrosse coach at Cheltenham (PA) had been injured in a school assault and that the program was in dire need of an immediate replacement, he just wanted to help out.
In fact, when he accepted the position 10 days ago, DiPuppo was surprised to hear he was even being paid. All he wanted was to pitch in and prevent the program from probably being dropped for the second time in 3 years.
So DiPuppo, who has coached lacrosse in Virginia, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania, has been thrilled that his players have bonded together to save a season threatened by an incident that caught national attention.
