Harry played his high school football in Cass Township, a small patch near Minersville, PA (Schuylkill County), on the remarkable undefeated, untied, unscored upon 1957 Cass Condor team as a junior. He was 6 ft 2 inches tall and weighed 200 lbs, which was huge by 1957 standards, and played both offensive and defensive end. He was one of the key players who helped this team go on to become co-champions of the Eastern PA conference. In 1958, as a senior he helped the Cass High football team, coached by the late Pat Droskinis, go another 5 games without being scored upon for a total of 15 straight football games in both '57 and '58 seasons. Harry was remarkable defensive end, who wore jerseys #21 and #28 in high school.
