In December 2024, Bonner & Prendie’s Friars Football team made history by winning their first-ever PIAA 4A State Championship. It was a moment that will live forever in Friars history—marking a season defined by heart, grit, and unity.
We invited our alumni to reflect on their unforgettable B&P athletics experiences to celebrate this incredible achievement. From vintage jerseys to old game programs and personal photos, they shared the memories and memorabilia that continue to fuel school pride across generations.
Running back, Tony Dolceamore '60, was the MVP of his team and high scorer of the city in 1959.
Tony shared his Varsity Championship jackets from the 1959 City Champs.
Newspaper articles sent in from Tony Dolceamore '60. Bonner won the city title over Southern High 54-0 in front of over 20,000 people at Franklin Field.
