Pete Lancetta out as St. Augustine Prep (NJ) football coach
After nine seasons leading the St. Augustine Prep (NJ) football program, Pete Lancetta will no longer be leading the team heading into the 2026 New Jersey high school campaign.
According to an official announcement by the school’s athletics on Wednesday morning, Lancetta and the Hermits are parting ways.
“We are deeply grateful to Coach Lancetta for his nine years of service to the Hermits football program,” St. Augustine Prep athletic director Mike Rizzo said in a statement. “His passion for the game and his care for our student-athletes helped build a strong foundation that will benefit the program for years to come.”
Over the span of the nine seasons that Lancetta led St. Augustine Prep, he had compiled an overall record of 59-34 during the stretch from 2017 to 2025. Just this past season he had led the team to a 6-4 record, playing in the NJSIAA’s Non-Public Group A, one of the country’s toughest classifications.
