On Dec. 20, Marquette University finally released their admission decisions. I got in! I have only heard great things about Marquette which made me want to see what all the hype was about.

On a day off from school, my parents and I traveled up north to Milwaukee to visit Marquette.

When we arrived, we were welcomed by an admission counselor, received a brochure and listened to an informative presentation on Marquette. After the presentation, the counselor assigned us to a student to help guide us around campus.

The first place we visited was the Diederich College of Communication. The main […]

On Saturday Jan. 28, the Crusader mat men traveled to Fenwick to compete in the JV Chicago Catholic League Championship.

Before the meet, sophomore Danny Tait said, “Our mindset for the meet was to win. We were all locked in and ready to wrestle.” The mat men did just that by dominating every opponent in the way. They totaled 273 team points and finished in first place. They outscored the second place Fenwick by over 50 points.

All thirteen Crusaders placed at least top five in their respective weight classes. There were six first place finishes by Oliver Davis (120), […]

The Standard: My Entrance Exam Journey

On Dec. 3, the Class of 2027 took the first step into becoming Crusaders by taking the entrance exam. All Chicago Archdiocese high schools host entrance exams, and only being able to choose one school to test at can be stressful. I remember the months leading up to the entrance exam like it was yesterday.

Before shadowing Brother Rice, I shadowed at all of the other schools, familiarizing myself with the climate of each school. Within the first two periods of shadowing at Brother Rice, I wanted to be a Crusader. The climate at Brother Rice was unmatched compared […]

Normal, Illinois is the home of Illinois State University; however, Illinois State is no normal school. I recently was accepted into Illinois State and wanted to check it out. I know numerous people who have gone there, and I have only heard good things.

On a day off from school, my parents and I took a trip down to Normal. When we arrived, we were greeted by admissions counselors, received a folder with information on Illinois State, and listened to a brief presentation. Then, we were assigned a tour guide to navigate us around the school.

The first place we […]

The greatest achievement as a Brother Rice athlete is to be inducted into the Circle of Champions. Members of the Circle of Champions have all made a name for themselves as a Crusader. George Escobarete ‘91 joins this honorable group of very few.

George Escobarete played baseball at Brother Rice and created an impressive resume for himself as a pitcher. In the 1991 season, George was voted as team MVP by his teammates. He struck out batters left and right with 75 strikeouts. George was not only a starter, but also a closer for the Crusaders. He led the […]
