William Penn Charter School

🏈🏈 FRIDAY NIGHT GAME OF THE WEEK 🆚 William Penn Charter x Calvert Hall Varsity Football First of all, HUGE THANK YOU to my alma mater, Calvert Hall College High School and varsity football team for allowing media coverage of this highly anticipated game. The Cardinals enter the 2025-26 season with new head coach, Tyler Ward. This game was important in order to set the tone for where the Cardinals want to project themselves. However, the William Penn Charter Quakers, out of Pennsylvania, sought to make that a difficult task. Let’s see how it played out. GAME RECAP Pregame energy for the Hall was on serious high. The Quakers brought some fire too. A little trash talking ensued as one Cardinal player shouted to the oncoming Quakers, “ you’re not in Pennsylvania anymore!!!” Cardinals began to focus in the locker room, as Chief Keef’s song “Love Sosa” amped the team up. Both teams returned to the field ready. First quarter was the trial and error period. Both the Quakers and Cardinals made big defensive stops. Each ironed out first period jitters. Anything not clicking revealed itself quickly here. Quakers ended up scoring on a pass which literally was in the back of the end zone. How the receiver caught that? I don’t know. Now, Coach Ward had to help lead his team with an answer back. That is exactly what happened. A hand off to the Cards RB led the team 64 yard run down to the end zone. This was one game shifter that fueled Calvert Hall with the confidence they could take over. Soon, the defense locked in, and the Cardinals were able to punch in another TD. On my opinion, (and I’ll confess MillerFlow is defense biased) Calvert Hall’s defense took over in the third and fourth quarters. This takes nothing away from the superb QB, excellent run game and awesome O-Line of the Hall. The defense just really locked in. Their quickness to the ball, forced QB pressures, sacks, and two interceptions made a HUGE statement. I was quite impressed with their adjustments in the second half. Overall, Calvert Hall looked great, and this win adds to the number of contenders rising in the MIAA A division. You had St. Mary’s win big, MSJ, McDonogh, and Loyola all looking good. So for the Cardinals team, this 33-7 victory says the Hall is here and ready for the SMOKE. 👀 MFV U📺🔗⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT6Jsk3aK7E
