The Path Podcast: Who’s the kid on the U.S. Open squad?

Last weekend was prom for the seniors at Harriton High School, but for senior Alex Kades it was one of a couple activities on his calendar. The other was training with West Chester United ahead of their Tuesday night Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup match in Baltimore against FC Baltimore Christos.

West Chester United are back in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup for the second time in club history and the first time since 2016. Kades was 15 when he attended the club’s last Open Cup game against the Harrisburg City Islanders in front of an overflow crowd in West Chester.
