Germantown Academy Set to Host Abraham Lincoln in Non-Conference Matchup

The Germantown Academy Patriots will open their 2025 season with a non-conference showdown against the Abraham Lincoln Railsplitters on Friday, August 29, in Ocean City, New Jersey. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m.

Team Records and Rankings

Germantown Academy enters the contest fresh, with this game marking their season debut. Ranked No. 106 in Pennsylvania and No. 2,952 nationally, the Patriots look to establish momentum early against a Philadelphia Public League opponent.

Abraham Lincoln, meanwhile, comes into the matchup at 0-1 overall, following a 20-0 shutout loss in their opener. The Railsplitters are ranked No. 139 in Pennsylvania and No. 3,606 nationally, aiming to rebound quickly and even their record.

Scoring and Performance Trends

Germantown Academy has yet to record any scoring statistics, making this opener a chance to showcase their offensive potential. Abraham Lincoln struggled to find the end zone in Week 1, being blanked on the scoreboard while conceding 20 points.

Head-to-Head and Common Opponents

This will be the first recorded meeting between the two programs, with no prior head-to-head history. Both teams also have yet to face a common opponent this season, though each will line up against Northeast High School later in the year—Lincoln on October 4 and Germantown Academy on September 12.

Game Outlook

For Germantown Academy, this matchup provides a valuable test to start the season, offering the Patriots a chance to measure themselves against an experienced Philadelphia opponent. On the other side, Abraham Lincoln will need to bounce back offensively to avoid falling to 0-2.

With both teams seeking their first win of the season, Friday’s contest has all the makings of a competitive early-season clash.
