This picture was taken at practice on Nov. 11, three days before the final game.

  K-K played 17 years of football, all in the Catholic League. Its
forerunner, Bishop Kenrick, located in the same building, played 38
years of football and was in the Catholic League for 26 of those
(1963-88). It also played from 1955-62 and 1989-92. The overall
record for both schools was 229-322-8.
  The school won no CL championships, but played in the final in '71
and '72. In '92, as an independent, it advanced to the first District 1
AA final and fell to Harriton. (The merger with Archbishop Kennedy,
of nearby Conshohocken, occurred for the 1993-94 school year.)

RECAPS OF CATHOLIC CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCES

1971
At Villanova Stadium
Carroll 33, Kenrick 12
    Carroll was sparked by the two-TD running of John Keefer (18-76)
and two-TD passing of Billy Zwaan, who also ran for a score. Zwaan's TD
tosses went to Mark Logue and Steve Adelizzi. Joe Santoleri had eight
unassisted tackles and an interception. For Kenrick, the highlight came
when Dennis Molyneaux picked up a blocked punt and ran 39 yards for a
TD.

1972
At Villanova Stadium
St. James 29, Kenrick 27
    On an end-around double reverse, Dave Kasarsky threw a 50-yard
scoring pass to QB Kevin Dare to erase a 14-13 deficit and give St.
James momentum. Dare threw a 49-yard TD pass to Bill Warrington and
Tony Serge ran for two TDs. For Kenrick, Jim Genuardi carried 15 times
for 124 yards and a TD while Jordy Hinkle ran for one score and passed
for another.
