Today we mourn the passing of our team chaplain Deacon Joe Wrabel. No one embodied the spirit and tradition of Bishop McDevitt more than Deacon. He was a wonderful mentor to countless Crusaders over the last 40 years. We send our love and condolences to his family and friends. ๐๐ป
Senior LB Devyn Clair made 22 tackles (14 solos) in Friday night's 21-7 loss to Cumberland Valley.
Devyn's 22 stops are the most by any Crusader in a game during head coach Jeff Weachterโs 22 seasons at McD. Dray Donley made 20 tackles vs. Cedar Cliff in Oct. 2017.

Milestones for Nazir Burnett...not only did he top 1,000 yards for the season last week (1,071 in 7 games), he also reached 150 career receptions (152) and 3,000 career yards (3,030). Naz passed Fred Lee, Raki Nelson and Bryce Hall on the McD all-time TD receptions list (36).
Safety Nevan Hopkins truly had a historic night, with 3 interceptions in one game (one half!)
This is believed to be the first time in head coach Jeff Weachterโs 26 seasons at McD that a player picked off 3 passes in one game. Nevan now has 12 career INTs.
