The soccer team, also known as Fords Footy, is building on last year’s success with another strong start to the season. After capturing the Inter-Ac title in 2024, the team has opened this fall with an impressive 6-2-1 record and looks ready for another championship run.
Leading the team is Sixth Form Inter-Ac MVP Anthony Costa, alongside Fifth Formers Graham Costello, Brody Collins, and Finn French, all under the guidance of Coach Mr. Keith Cappo. Together, the captains have set ambitious goals for their team.
“Our biggest goals for this season are to repeat as Inter-Ac champs for a fourth year in a row and to make a good run in states,” Costello said.
So far, the team is on track. The Fords have tallied wins over programs like Lawrenceville and the Hun School, proving their ability to compete against top talent. However, the more difficult matches are still to come, with crucial Inter-Ac matchups against Malvern Prep, Episcopal Academy, Germantown Academy, and Penn Charter.
“Every Inter-Ac game is a battle, but EA Day is always a special one.”

“Every Inter-Ac game is a battle, but EA Day is always a special one,” Costello said.
Winning three straight Inter-Ac titles is no small feat, but this squad believes its competitive drive will fuel success.
“One thing that will give our team an edge this season is our hunger to repeat as Inter-Ac champs for a fourth time,” Costello said
The team’s depth is another strength. Younger players, including Fourth Formers Jose Hernandez and Andrew Yang, have already stepped into starting roles to make meaningful contributions.
Their performances not only help this year’s lineup but also hint at a bright future for the program.
