William Penn Charter School
Boys Soccer History
Penn Charter fielded its first official
soccer team in 1919. It played from '19 through '27 in the
Private Schools Soccer Association and then became part of the Inter-Ac in
1928. The
Quakers
have remained there since.
The team has been coached by George Young, Dan Test, Bert Linton,
Charles "Chick" Conard,
Earl Harrison, Peter Kennedy, George "Buff" Weigand, Peter Boucher, Ed Marks,
Bob Bower,
Mark Franek, Leighton Walters and Bob DiBenedetto. **Please note.
Research on some loose
ends is still being conducted. This list could be altered slightly.**
The current Inter-Ac members: Episcopal Academy (EA), Germantown Academy
(GA), Haverford
School (HS), Malvern Prep (MP) and Springside Chestnut Hill Academy (SCH).
Previous members:
Germantown Friends (GF), Friends' Central (FC) and Friends Select (FS).
Thanks to John Burkhart, Allan Brown, George "Buff" Weigand, Dave
Weigand and Bob
DiBenedetto for their help.
**Please note. Research on records/results/all-star teams is also still being
conducted. If you can
