Game on!

Rich Reichert spent plenty of time on the phone this week with his counterpart at St. Joseph’s Prep. Even if there were no outside concerns, bussing his team to Philadelphia requires logistics worthy of a shuttle launch. But there is a big unknown hanging over Saturday’s 7 p.m. showdown. Tropical Storm Hannah threatens to make landfall in the Carolinas and then zip up the coast.

But both schools have decided to move head as scheduled. In fact, two busses filled with Friars pulled out of St. Anthony’s at 7 a.m. Friday. The idea all along was to make a weekend out of the road trip. So in that respect, Reichert is moving ahead as planned. And the game? It’s still on. We’ll keep you up to date on any changes.
