Last Thursday, the Bears overcame the Panthers on primetime Thursday Night Football with a 16-13 victory. The game was a matchup of two bottom of the barrel teams desperately searching  for a win, but the Bears wanted it more.

The game started off hot for the Panthers with a 79-yard punt return for a touchdown, leaving Bears fans disappointed per usual. Both offenses greatly struggled for the rest of the first half with no more touchdowns being scored. However, the kickers shined with Bears kicker Cairo Santos, draining three field goals and Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro making one.

A boring […]

Last Friday, the Crusaders took on Montini Catholic for this season’s homecoming game. The three-win Crusaders had their playoff hopes on the line and they knew what was at stake.

The team had a great week of practice, competing hard everyday to get the players ready.

Senior running back Richard Willis said, “I think we had our best week of practice all season. We had four high energy practices and everyone was competing to make each other better.”

Hard work in practice paid off in the game early with a 65-yard rushing touchdown from senior Randall Nauden. This pushed the team […]

This past week, I was blessed enough to be invited to a two-day conference involving Edmund Rice’s mission of advocacy. We collaborated with Brother Rice in Bloomfield Hills, MI, as well as St. Laurence here in Chicago. This conference taught me ways on how to combat homelessness and raise awareness in my community.

One of the directors of the conference, Cormac McArt, told me why he thinks getting youths involved in the mission of advocacy is important.

Cormac said, “The young people in our schools are future decision makers, future voters. It is important that their voices are heard.”

The main […]

The Standard: Bears Week Two Sorrows

On Sunday, the Bears lost their week two matchup to the Buccaneers with a final score of 27-17. After a blowout loss in week one to the Packers, everyone was hoping for a bounce back win versus the Bucs, but we were all thoroughly disappointed.

The game started out in a great fashion for the Bears. Justin Fields and D.J. Moore connected on the first play of the game for a 33-yard gain, which eventually led to a Fields rushing touchdown to take a 7-3 lead. However, from that point on, we saw the same boring Bears offense from […]
