St. Joseph’s Prep hosting Souderton Tuesday in Annual ‘Cole’s Goals’ benefit game at Penn Park

St. Joseph’s Prep will host Souderton Tuesday at Penn Park in Philadelphia at 6 pm in the Annual Cole’s Goals benefit game.

Cole’s Goals was created to help raise awareness about Biliary Atresia and other liver diseases and to fundraise for The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s (CHOP) Liver Research Foundation.

Cole Joseph Princehorn, son of first-year Prep coach Mark Princehorn, was born on November 30, 2020 and at his 2-month appointment, it was learned he was suffering from Biliary Atresia. The rare congenital disease, which afflicts infants, causes a blockage in the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder.

Cole underwent a 7-hour surgery and has made great progress while undergoing treatments for 2 years. In July he had a liver transplant. Cole is still giving the good fight as he was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Post Transplant Lymphomic Disorder (PTLD).

Coach Princehorn previously coached at Souderton and then at Lansdale Catholic before coming to St. Joe’s Prep this year. The Prep is 9-4 and has won five straight games, while Souderton is 11-3 and has won seven in a row.

Penn Park is located behind Franklin Field off the campus at the University of Pennsylvania.
