A Final Note - re: Divine Child Game:
One of the Varsity coaches, Al Rygiel is a Divine Child alumnus and he received an email from a DC parent who ran the concessions. In this email, he was told how the St. William family treated everyone from DC - from concessions volunteers to players’ parents - with respect. They enjoyed having us over to their school/field especially compared with other teams they play who are disrespectful to them. So, St. William parents & kids - thanks for being great fans when visiting other Catholic schools. The kids are truly learning. Don’t forget - it’s about more than just football and the Crusader coaches are doing a fine job teaching that!
