FOOTBALL
The Kingsmen go from having five conference games in 2023 to having seven next season in 2024. Penn is dropping Hammond Morton and Cathedral from next year’s schedule, and canceling the Carmel series that was scheduled to start in 2025. Penn will be adding South Bend Riley and South Bend Washington to its schedule next season.
“We’re happy that we’re able to keep our rivalries with Valparaiso and Mishawaka weeks one and two, and we look forward to new challenges in the NIC,” Football Head Coach Cory Yeoman said.
This is why they need a whole new mindset in the football program from admin through the coaching staff, if they both agree on this kind of schedule annually. They will play only one 6A school (Elkhart) every year now unless they leave the NIC or drop those traditional rivals of 5A Mishawaka & Valpo, which do nothing to show them the play speed and player strength of the HCC, MIC, Carmel & CG. How sad....."new challenges"
