Owls Football Loses 21-18 at Tennent's Homecoming Game

It was a sea of pink at stadium as fans supporting breast cancer awareness month cheered their team’s defeat of the Bensalem High School Owls by a score of 21-18 during the annual Homecoming football game. 

Rally towels sponsored by Modell’s were given to fans as they entered the stands, to help cheer on the team. The towels were useful in wiping down the recent rain water off the cold bleachers.

Bensalem dropped to 2-5 overall losing five straight after winning its first two games of the season. The Owls are now 0-4 in SOL league games.

“I thought we played very well in the first half,” Bensalem coach Kevin Kelly said in a PhillyBurbs story. “In the second half, give them credit, they played well and made plays. We didn’t.”

After the game, Tennet Coach William Keeny was pleased to see his team win the homecoming game. “It’s always important to win the Homecoming game. I’m really happy we got a win. The kids played well and we executed. It was a complete game.” The team now holds a 3-4 record and will go on to face Council Rock South next week.

Panthers Quarterback Kevin Kilkenny was also glad his team pulled out a victory. “We practiced well,” Kilkenny said. “We didn’t want to let our school down, ourselves down and our coaches down.”
