Saturday, we wrote about Don Bosco Prep‘s Centennial Classic game against Archbishop Rummel from Louisiana and the possibility Eastside High forfeiting its October 30th game to the Ironmen. Today, NorthJersey.com writes that DBP’s 2015 is “99.9%” complete with out-of state games against Rummel, a road game against Archbishop Moeller in Cincinnati and a home game against two-time defending Pennsylvania 4A champ St. Joseph’s Prep from Philadelphia.
It will be the first time the Bosco plays Rummel and Moeller, while it will be the fifth time that the Ironmen play St. Joe’s. DBP has won all four games against the Philadelphia power.
There’s also talk that Bosco could be playing a fourth out-of-state game in 2015 against a team from Florida.
Since 2003, Don Bosco has played 28 out-of-state games, winning 24 of them. Two of the losses came in 2013 when the Ironmen lost to California’s Mission Viejo and Florida’s Miami Central on back-to-back weekends. The other two out-of-state losses have been to Gilman from Maryland in 2012 and St. Xavier from Ohio in 2008.
Overall, DBP is 8-0 against Pennsylvania teams, 4-1 against Florida teams; 3-1 against California teams; 2-1 against Ohio teams; 2-0 against teams from New York; 1-1 against Maryland teams; and 1-0 against teams from Alabama, Utah and Washington D.C.
