The Coaches: Mike Cebrosky is in his second season as the head coach of the Monarchs. Cebrosky led the team to through their historic 2024 season, featuring a 10-2 overall record, perfect 9-0 mark in the MAC, the first outright MAC title in program history, and berth to the NCAA Division III Football Championships. He was named MAC Coach of the Year while also coaching a program-best 20 All-MAC honorees, highlighted by two-time MAC Offensive Player of the Year Russell Minor-Shaw, six D3football.com All-Region players, and Zach Barber as a D3football.com All-American. Mike Isgro enters his second season as the head coach of his alma mater after returning to Doylestown in 2015 to serve in various roles, leading the Aggies to an 8-3 overall record in 2024. Isgro coached Jacquez Mabin who was named MAC Defensive Player of the Year among a list of post-season accolades, and the defense ranked second in all of NCAA Division III a year ago.

Looking at Delaware Valley: The Aggies look to bounce back in the MAC opener this weekend after their week-one loss. The team replaced key pieces in their offense at quarterback and running back but returned a veteran receiver group. Defensively, the linebacker duo of Jeremiah Clark and Micah Bootman return to anchor the other side of the ball. As a team, Delaware Valley was limited to just nine points on 270 yards of offense, including 209 passing yards, while the defense gave up 38 points on 441 yards with a balanced 237 on the ground and 204 in the air. The Aggies struggled on third down, converting just 4-of-15 (26.67%) but were efficient on fourth down as they went 2-for-3 (66.67%). Individually, Brady Beres ran for 33 yards on 11 carries, Cory Gordon caught two passes, including the lone touchdown, for 113 yards, and Mike Galasso threw for 209 yards on 13 completions. Defensively, Jeremiah Clark totaled 15 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and a quarterback hurry, while Taji Hubard added 10 tackles, including six solo, with a breakup.

Travel Gear: The Monarchs will go with their white-on-white combination with the traditional white road jerseys and white pants. As always, King's will dawn their golden domes this weekend in Doylestown.

Single Digit Tough: The Monarchs award single digits, and now double digits to offensive linemen, based on merit and leadership and are retained throughout their time at King's. The 2025 roster returned two single-digit members from 2024 in Tyler Carey and Brenann Robinson and have added two so far in 2025. The Monarchs now have four Single Digit Tough players: Tyler Carey (3), Brennan Robinson (6), James Mangine (9), and Kaleb Beers (55).

Captains This Weekend: For their conference opener, Michael Richino and Xander Murray will represent the defense while Khalil Blagmon and Jayon Hailey will represent the offense at the coin toss.
