Last Sunday, the Mount St. Joseph Academy crew made a strong showing across the board at the Philadelphia City Championships, qualifying all nine of its entries for the final round of racing, and earning two gold, two silver, and two bronze medals. The results were not surprising considering the way the Magic has performed on the Schuylkill this spring. In the Girls Sweep category, the Mount won the Manny Flick Point Trophy by amassing a total of 563 points, while Holy Spirit was a distinctly distant second with 201.

They thought wrong. The host Quakers had eight goals on the board before Springside scored its first, and Charter continued on from a 12-4 halftime lead to win, 21-6.
