Everyone always tells you how fast your high school years will fly by, but nobody seems to comprehend how fast it will actually go until it has gone.

Playing soccer was always my favorite sport as a child, and this year I played in my last soccer game ever. It was the only sport that I played for all four years at Brother Rice. The sport taught me a lot of things and definitely contributed to my growth as an athlete and a student. Thanks to great coaches along the way, soccer had a large impact on my life […]

With the MLB lockout officially coming to an end, Opening Day is scheduled for Apr. 9. The Cubs will open up at home against the Milwaukee Brewers.

There are many uncertainties within the Cubs roster and I am very excited to see how it will play out. Manager David Ross signed a 3-year extension securing him until 2024.

“I don’t think Ross is the man for the job,” said Ray Barkmeier ‘22. He has yet to show Chicago what he is all about; one year is not enough to determine whether he deserves the job.

Cubs fans are still recovering from […]

The South Side Irish Parade is scheduled to return this year in Chicago. The neighborhood of Beverly and other surrounding neighborhoods are ecstatic to hear the news. The parade will take place on Sunday, March 13, on Western Ave.

With all of the negativity going around in today’s world, the return of the parade is a sure-fire morale booster. “I can’t wait to wear my giant leprechaun costume to the parade,” said senior Joe Ternes. Irish pride will be flowing through Chicago.

The Brother Rice soccer team, coached by Matt Prunckle and Kevin MacAlinden, had a season to remember. The Crusaders had been struggling to find success since star player Jack Finnegan graduated.

However, this year was different; the Crusaders brought in a very strong freshman class. The Crusaders starting lineup for their first game of the season consisted of 6 freshmen, 1 sophomore, 2 juniors, and 2 seniors. The kicking Crusaders started off the season hot with a record of 5-2, making it clear that Brother Rice was going to be a competitor this season.

Things took a turn for the […]
