It's with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rafael Simon Flores. Simon was a member of the Class of 2015 and recently returned as an assistant football coach. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. St. Rita, pray for us.

Kenny Golladay '12 (DET) and Pat O'Connor '12 (TB) squared off once again on Sunday but this time, it was in the NFL. Pat's Bucs won 38-17 but not for a lack of effort from Kenny, the NFL's leader in Touchdown Receptions, finishing with 3 catches for 44 yards. Way to go, Ritamen!
