Penn’s Freshmen Football Team used a late defensive stand to hold on for a 7-6 victory.

Lucas Hershberger had a 26 yard passing touchdown from Banks Asleson for the Kingsmen score.

“What a great opportunity to play a team like St. Joe,” Penn Freshmen Football head coach Keith O’Connell said. “This was the first time we’ve ever played them, so that was great. They have great facilities, great coaching and a great team. This was a great experience for our players and what a great defense stand to ice the game!”
