SJP Schedule

[tulla]

Just saw that at least three SJP home games (against St. Frances, Good Counsel, and LaSalle) will be played at Franklin Field. I'm pretty sure the first two teams don't bring many fans with them, so it's at least a bit of a financial risk for SJP. It's a tough non-league schedule: https://www.sjprep.org/team-detail?fromId=291024&Team=378774&SeasonLabel=2025 - 2026&siteId=1402#

The good news is that those games count as on-campus unofficials. So Penn coaches can talk to kids freely!

Does SJP have a pipeline to UPenn in recent years?

Nothing like a pipeline. I think there's only one SJP guy on the Penn roster and rarely have there been more than two in the last 10-15 years. Four guys (Harrison, McCord, Roy, and West) have gone to Ohio State in recent years, but the way things are today with NIL and the portal, the odds are at least one of the latter two will, like McCord, not finish at OSU.

Seems like it could be a perfect opportunity being that they're playing HS games there - maybe it will drive some local talent to Penn.
