Jef Hewlings enters his 39th year of coaching and his 7th season as Head Coach of the Strath Haven Boys' Lacrosse program. Prior to his arrival at Strath Haven, he enjoyed head coaching stops at Malvern Prep (1983-87), Penncrest High School (1989-99), Oneonta HS (NY), where he founded the high school program (2000-06), and Emmaus High School (2008-11).

Along the way, Coach Hewlings' teams won Central League titles (with Penncrest in 1996 and 1998 and Strath Haven in 2016), Lehigh Valley Conference titles (with Emmaus, 2008-11), and participated in post-season playoffs (at Malvern, Penncrest, and Emmaus, as well as in each of the past 5 seasons at Strath Haven). His Penncrest teams advanced to the PSLA state semifinals in both 1998 and 1999, and Emmaus reached the PIAA quarterfinal round in both 2009 and 2010.The Strath Haven Panthers have advanced in the PIAA state tournament in each of the past 3 seasons and rode the class of 2018 to the program's first ever trip to the state championship game last year.

With the graduation of last year's successful senior class (led by USL's national POY and UVA bound freshman Jeffrey Conner), Hewlings sees 2019 as a bit of a transition year, especially related to the presence of strong player leadership. "Jeff and Ryan [Morris] led this program on the field and off, and many of our other seniors played key roles in the growth and success of the program over these past 3 years. As coaches, we are optimistic that our 2019 senior guys will step up and accept this incredibly important responsibility, and if they do, we will continue to challenge at the top of the Central League and District One lacrosse."
