| The Bishop Guilfoyle Marauders enter the 2026 season with high expectations after finishing as the PIAA Class 1A State Runner-Up in 2025. BG returns five All-State players from last season: Evan Schimminger, Justin Wheeler, Rocco Cacciotti, Declan Peterson, and Carter Boland. With experience and talent returning on both sides of the ball, the Marauders are looking to make another championship run. Special teams will also be a strength with All-State kicker and punter Carter Boland returning. |
