God I miss Jay. He wasn’t the hero Chicago deserved, but not the one it needed. So we hunted him. Because he could take it. Because he wasn’t our hero. He was a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.
Win the game, sing the song, get back home. Beep beep! We comin home!
P.S. How bout the entire St. Rita Family coming out to Hillcrest for support!! Love this team. Love these fans. We’ll see ya at Doyle next weekend!

Whenever this season ends, Johnny Cueto needs a day where he sits at Cork and Kerry and Sox fans get to buy him beers all day as a thank you.
What an unbelievable year.
New year, new clubhouse, but

I don’t wanna say that tonight feels like Christmas Eve, but tomorrow:
- We get to play a real football game
- At home in front of our Mustang faithful
- VS MOUNT CARMEL
That’s about as close as it gets, folks!
I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty bummed out this morning but damn do I love this 2019 team. These seniors were my first recruiting class when I got hired in Admissions and they’ll always have a special place in my heart. Gonna miss this group of Mustangs. See y’all in the endzone.
Ok I gotta brag about my guy for a second cause I still can’t get over this throw vs Provi...
I mean, there are impressive HS throws, and then there’s

Sad day for the
@StRitaHS
family today. Laid to rest one of the school’s greatest protectors, Mr. Dan Hoffman. Say an extra prayer to St. Rita for the Hoffman family, Ritamen.
#PrayForUs
Thoughts and prayers to the people of Wilmette when St. Rita or Mt. Carmel come to town.
North shore folks doomed to eternal suffering. Oh the humanity. 🙄🙄
Tough times for Wilmette. Consumed in a border war w/ Evanston over concerts at Ryan Field and now beset by internal strife over a proposal for Friday Night Lights football at Loyola and the incursion of South Side barbarian hordes from Mt. Carmel and St. Rita. Pray for peace.
ST. RITA FAMILY: I have a very special announcement. Beginning in February, I will be temporarily moving to Graz, Austria to become the Offensive Coordinator/Quarterback Coach for their professional football team, the Graz Giants this upcoming season!
The 2020 Covid team is really gonna go down as one of the best teams in St. Rita history and they never even had a chance at a playoff run. Can’t get more special than that.
Final from 64th and Dante.
@StRitaFootball
will host
@CaravanFootball
in the 7A semifinals at Doyle Stadium.
The SR/MC rivalry will meet in the semifinals for the first time since “The Holy War” matchup of 1988. MC beat SR 18-7 at 63rd and Claremont.
481 football teams competed in Illinois this season. ~ 265 get selected for the postseason. Only 18 teams get to practice this week while it’s basketball season for the rest. Make every day count.

A Coach Quinn hug was as much of a pregame routine as anything else in my St. Rita lifetime. I’m gonna cry like a freakin baby when we have a moment before we finally play another game again.
a sad day for the St. Rita Family. We learned that earlier this morning, our beloved Jack Quinn (Hon.) passed away. Coach Quinn, a longtime

coach & part of the
@StRitaHS
history books, was a legend who impacted thousands of people over the years. We will miss him
Today one of our WRs screamed “I’LL HAVE A SIP OF THAT!” mid-route to tell our QB he was open and I honestly couldn’t tell you the last time I laughed that hard on a football field
For years Pat made local kids feel like celebrities with his writing. There were few cooler feelings than getting the tap after a game that he wanted to talk to you. One of the best in the business.
There aren’t many QBs in the country who will graduate with 25+ HS starts and two state championship appearances.
Hard to believe college teams don’t have space for that kind of experience…
Just because I couldn’t get a ring, doesn’t mean she can’t. Hello, future Mrs. Coach Gallik!
@alliemay14
(Also…take notes, kids. That’s the type of single leg squat form you’re looking for.)
The St. Rita community is saddened by the sudden passing of Ritaman Ryan Rusch '11. Ryan was a proud alumnus of both St. Rita's Class of 2011 and St. John Fisher parish.
Eternal rest grant unto him, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. St. Rita, pray for us.

‘08 SR-MC was a heavyweight bout as usual. Worth the watch on this Rivalry Friday!
@LegacyStangs
I’ll probably get fined by Coach Kuska but I’ll be rocking the USA theme under the headset tonight! Everyone get out to Doyle Stadium and help us clinch tonight.

Sorry Mustang fans, phone died from cold. Hell of a game and season by

. Plays were there to be made but that’s football.
Senior class leaves with 4 straight CCL titles, 3 straight semifinals and a state championship appearance. Coach Kuska leaves with much more.

@Peter_Bukowski
Since original tweet compared MVP seasons, it’s a little unfair comparing a full career stat to someone barely into his second contract. Think this just show Favre was a top tier gunslinger at his best, not meant to bring down Mahomes down.
Don’t look now but

seems to be making the rounds with offers to some big names in state. Love seeing the Illini getting back in the recruiting conversation ASAP.

football players out there taking their very first or last first steps onto the field today. Every opportunity you get to play the greatest sport in the world is a blessing and after that, it’s babies, memories and 16” softball.
The Kingsbury brothers figuratively crowning any and every BR offender in sight for the Mustangs defense. All three brothers are beasts and deserve all the accolades they receive. Worth the price of admission.
Shoutout Geneva for having one of the best environments we’ve played in all year. Student section and the band countered by our Mustang Faithful really brought it.
Games like tonight are why we do this!!
And that’s a final at Lane Stadium,
@StRitaFootball
are Prep Bowl champs for the 9th time in school history!
Congrats to
@CoachMHopkins
and the squad on a hard fought season. A lot to look forward to for the Stangs. The future is bright!

Don’t think I’ve ever seen an end give a tackle the business with two spin moves in one play like Aidan Hutchinson just did to Jawaan Taylor.

Bias aside because she’s the daughter of a tremendous former colleague,
@estelleczech
is a ton of fun to watch in the WCWS.
6 scoreless innings on the bump and when she’s not rolling double play balls, she rivals Liam Hendriks with a vicious strikeout scream!
Kinda cool seeing Jimmy Garoppolo hear the play in the earpiece with the camera on him and do the “point to head” check before the broadcast changed to Hoyer and the rest of the offense do the same check.
Gotta respect the dude still taking mental reps.
Unreal game pitched by Vic Aguilar tonight. Goes 7 innings only giving up 4 hits, 0 runs, and strikes out a billion. Solid defense behind him all night. What a game.
Here’s the throwback for the day. Shoutout to the 10 year anniversary of the 2009 Prep Bowl champs.
Fun fact: that OG Christina gym shirt was a staple under the pads for every game

Now I don't know what the eligibility rules are but Ms. P is a first ballot hall of famer for sure. Some teachers hope to make an impact on a student, Ms. P changed lives. She's really going to be missed around here. ❤️💙
On her last day, we want to honor Mrs. Maureen Pangrazio on an amazing 20 year teaching career at St. Rita High School. Thousands of Ritamen are better people because of "Ms. P".
We love and will miss you, Mrs. Pangrazio!
Congrats on a great career with
@StRitaFootball
, Coach! Sad I’m not roaming the sidelines with you for this last run.
200+ wins, 3 state championship appearances, 6 NFL players, 50+ D1 commits and one big trophy that says Champions is a hell of a resume!
Heard Alec called GAME with the final shot in OT tonight. Joel last year, Alec this year. Young guns hittin big shots, what else is new??

“More than half of the NFL players who hail from those three schools — 29 to be specific — were out of the league by 1940.” 🙄

I'm biased but this year's senior class went 2-6 their freshman year without scoring a point in CCL play. This picture was taken after beating BR 47-34 capping an 8-1 sophomore conference championship season....then were this year's state runner-ups. Offseason mindsets, man.
Early scouting report from Doyle Stadium: Boys look good, my toes are frozen and it’s still very cold in Chicago. Hard hitting insider stuff there.
Time to defrost at Rockefellers 🥃🏈
@CoachJones_Mhs
I would disagree. I love D3 football getting more promotion every year to keep kids playing in college. Just because you don’t like seeing it take over your timeline shouldn’t diminish a kid’s excitement to play in college.
Happy birthday to my Rita brother Coach Ro!! Look at this sharp dressed all grown up, already taking the
@sritabasketball
program to new heights. Couldn’t be prouder for a fellow Mustang and CCIW’er
If youre in Chicago right now and you step outside into this grey sky and cool air then close your eyes you can actually smell football in the air. It's glorious
Four hours, nine graduations, three cameras, two batteries and memory cards, a couple tears and too many smiles to count. Happy graduation day,

Thank you to legendary Kent State Coach Darrell Hazell for teaching us that to find the needle in a haystack it takes a special group of people and this ELITE team has what it takes.
Just spent the day making graphics for

spring sports. All of our spring teams were ranked in the top 15 in the state before multiple state playoff runs coming up just short. Gonna be an exciting couple months as all return teams ready to roll!!

I know I’m a day late, but a huge congratulations to another class of Ritamen becoming Rita Brothers. Wish I would’ve been there to see the last semester but your impact will go far beyond the halls. Got a lot of big futures on the horizon. Stay in touch, youngins. Go get em!!

This kid started the state championship game as a sophomore at like 165lbs and has busted his butt in the weight room ever since. Get him on a football field ASAP. 👀💪🏻
More Chicago-area schools are switching to online learning after COVID-19 cases have popped up. St. Rita's, Loyola Academy and St. Alexander are just a few of the schools who have decided to abandon in-person learning, at least for now.
