The Standard: My Senior Year

By Garrett Greene ‘21

As an eighth grader, I was very skeptical about where I wanted to go to high school. I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to go to Marist, Brother Rice, or St. Laurence for the next four years. I ultimately decided to go to Brother Rice after being convinced by my fellow classmates at St. Linus.

Now as a graduating senior, I look back and realize that this was one of the best decisions I have ever made. At Brother Rice, I made lots of memories, learned life lessons, and met people who I will never forget.

Brother Rice allowed me […]

since March 2020. This deadly disease has taken many things away from the seniors who have worked tirelessly to get to this point in their lives. One of the many things that the seniors will not receive this year is an ordinary graduation ceremony.

On Wednesday Feb. 10, the Brother Rice Crusaders took on the Montini Broncos for their first home game of the season. This was the Crusaders’ first home game in 351 days. Despite the odd layout of the gym and the unusual safety precautions, everyone in the Brother Rice community was excited to come out and cheer for the Crusaders.

The Fighting Illini men’s basketball team are having one of their best seasons in school history. The Illini, led by Ayo Dosunmo, have defeated many powerhouse schools this season such as Duke and Minnesota.

Despite their accomplishments this season, the Illini have been struggling recently. They lost their last two games to unranked Maryland and No. 15 Ohio State. This is the first time this season the Illini have lost two games in a row.

“I was very surprised that Illinois lost to Maryland. They were much more skilled and athletic than the Terrapins. I hope they are able to […]

With the cancellation of many fall sports for high schools in Illinois, many questions about winter sports taking place have been brought up. Will the Crusaders be able to tip off on the court this winter? Will we be able to face off in the ice rink?

As of now, winter sports are allowed only twenty contact days to practice in Sept. and Oct. The athletes must wear masks and sanitize after every practice. These regulations have been tough on both the athletes and coaches.

“Yeah, wearing masks during practice is tough, but if it allows us to have a […]
