Throwback Thursday - 1925

J.A. MacGovern only coached West Chester for five seasons and 1925 was his second campaign. The team went 5-2 in a season that didn't start until October. The squad was led by the defense since in their five wins, West Chester outscored their opponents 168-0. Among those wins was a 13-0 shutout over Bloomsburg in the first ever meeting between the two schools.

The Yellow Jackets, as they were called then, fell to Shippensburg 6-0. West Chester outplayed Shippensburg and held a 14-3 advantage in first downs. The referee's decision was taken to the Central Board which ruled the game 0-0. West Chester's rematch challenge on a neutral field using Central Board officials went unheard by Shippensburg. Muhlenberg's freshman squad was the only to cross the West Chester goal line that season and held a 19-0 halftime lead. West Chester stormed back in the second half, scoring 14 points, but the game was shortened by ten minutes and the final score stood at 19-14 Mules.
