Trinity vs. East Pennsboro: Early Season Matchup Features Two Hungry Teams Searching for First Win
The high school football season is just underway, and both the Trinity Shamrocks and the East Pennsboro Panthers enter Week 2 looking to shake off opening-week losses and capture their first victory of the 2025 campaign.
Rankings & Records
Trinity (0-1) comes into the matchup ranked 150th in Pennsylvania and 3,959th nationally. The Shamrocks dropped their season opener in a close contest, falling 19-16 despite showing strong offensive potential.
East Pennsboro (0-1) sits slightly lower at 171st in Pennsylvania and 4,550th nationally. The Panthers struggled to find offensive rhythm last week, scoring just 10 points in a 28-10 defeat.
Both teams are 0-1 overall, 0-0 in conference play, meaning this game could provide an important momentum shift as league action nears.
Offensive Breakdown
Trinity’s strength is its passing attack, led by quarterback Mason Boyer, who threw for 217 yards in the opener and accounted for 216 total yards. Wideout Maddox Jarzynski emerged as a go-to target, posting 171 receiving yards while also contributing on defense with 6 tackles.
On the ground, running back Adonis Sutton paced the Shamrocks with 26 rushing yards, but the passing game clearly remains the centerpiece of their offense. Trinity averaged 263 total yards, with the majority coming through the air.
East Pennsboro, meanwhile, leaned more heavily on its run game, picking up 78 rushing yards compared to just 10 passing yards. Quarterback Turner Barlup threw for a modest 10 yards, while running back Elijah Shank led the Panthers with 30 rushing yards. Offensively, East Pennsboro finished with 88 total yards in its opener.
Defensive Edge
Where the Panthers may find an advantage is on the defensive side. East Pennsboro recorded 47 tackles as a team in their opener, compared to Trinity’s 34 tackles. Linebacker Ryan Potts led the unit with 10 tackles, and Kolton Keys provided steady play up front.
For Trinity, Jarzynski and the secondary played a key role, but the Shamrocks will need to generate more pressure after finishing without a sack last week.
Scoring Averages
So far this season, Trinity has averaged 16.0 points per game, while East Pennsboro sits at 10.0 points per game. The Panthers scored early in their opener but went scoreless in the second half, while Trinity stayed competitive throughout in a tight loss.
What’s at Stake
Both teams are in similar positions—young squads with offensive question marks, looking to find their rhythm before diving into the heart of their conference schedules. Trinity will look to keep building its aerial attack behind Boyer and Jarzynski, while East Pennsboro hopes its ground game and defensive toughness can set the tone at home.
With both teams evenly matched statistically, this contest could come down to turnovers, special teams, and which defense holds up longest.
