Jenkintown Looks to Build Momentum Against Vaux Big Picture

The Jenkintown Drakes will host the Vaux Big Picture Cougars in a non-league matchup this Friday, August 29, 2025, at noon. Both teams enter the game on opposite ends of their season starts, with Jenkintown carrying momentum from a season-opening win while Vaux Big Picture searches for its first victory.

Team Overviews

• Jenkintown (1-0): The Drakes opened their 2025 campaign with a hard-fought 15-8 road win, showcasing a balanced effort on both sides of the ball. Ranked No. 12,864 nationally and 532nd in Pennsylvania, Jenkintown will look to keep its record perfect and defend home turf for the first time this season.

• Vaux Big Picture (0-1): The Cougars struggled in their opener, falling 33-0 to Lower Moreland. Ranked No. 13,648 nationally and 559th in the state, Vaux will aim to regroup quickly and find some offensive rhythm after being shut out in Week 1.

Scoring Trends
The Drakes’ offensive efficiency was on display in their opener, scoring all 15 points in the first half—8 in the first quarter and 7 in the second—before relying on defense to close out the game. Vaux Big Picture, meanwhile, is still searching for its first points of the season, having been blanked by Lower Moreland.

Head-to-Head & Common Opponents
This will be the first meeting between Jenkintown and Vaux Big Picture. The Cougars have already faced Lower Moreland, suffering a lopsided loss, while Jenkintown is scheduled to meet Lower Moreland later in September. That common opponent could provide a measuring stick for both programs as the season progresses.

What’s at Stake
For Jenkintown, Friday’s matchup is an opportunity to remain unbeaten and establish confidence before diving into tougher contests down the stretch. For Vaux Big Picture, it’s a chance to bounce back from an opening shutout and prove they can compete on the road against a rising Drakes team.

Kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m. Friday at Jenkintown (PA).
