Is Michigan the only the only state (of 36) with approval to play High School Football but requires athletes to attempt to compete while breathing through a face covering? It was 95 out when Rice played CC in Sept of 2017... Sounds like a well researched and brilliant decision.
Transparency isn’t always synonymous with honesty. It is sad when “leaders” are unwilling to be responsible over fear of being viewed as irresponsible. NOTHING changed from this past Monday to today MHSAA! If different then offer it up!!!!! You owe it to your constituents.
Girl & boy meet. They date & learn to TRUST the other. They fall in love and engage to be married. They plan and pay for wedding & on the big day just before his vows, the groom breaks off the wedding leaving the bride at the alter, devastated... Hi I’m MHSAA, nice to meet me!
Please keep the Cranbrook community, the young men of the football program, their coaches, and the Jones family in your hearts! We extend our deepest sympathy’s to you all!!!
To Brother Rice - The relationships, the wisdom, the victories, the humilities...the foolish haircuts when the kids needed a C-19 quarantine laugh. There is so much & so many to appreciate. All my wife and I can say is if you are, or ever were a Warrior - THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU!
CHSL Central Division has had a state champion 9 of last 10 years with 10 total Championships within that timeframe. Add to that the 30+ State Championships between the 4 current members.....pretty certain it’s not even close....Best League in the state!
Just got off the phone with THE legend and one of the greatest coaches & people ever, Coach Fracassa. I always remind him...that if I just coach for 39 MORE years and simply win 10 games a year, and avg. 1 Title every 3.5 years, I will pass him in wins and Titles! 😂😂😂.

Thank you Dean Sean Williamson '02 for seeing this to fruition! With new equipment in & 3 rows of racks in place, the Rice weight room is truly beginning to service "college" prep & is a place alumni would be proud of. There is plenty still left to do & help is always welcome!

Brother Rice is thrilled to announce the appointment of Aaron Marshall as our new Head Football Coach. Coach Marshall's exceptional leadership, deep understanding of Brother Rice's values, and commitment to academic excellence, coupled with his proven
Most/ a lot of us don’t even know someone lucky enough to go to Stanford. Brother Rice is sending 2. That they are also the 18U 55M U.S. Champ and a climbing D-End speaks to the elite students, faculty & staff, with more State Titles than any school in MI. Dodi - why now?!
To the Warriors who endured, committed, & gave their all...thank you Seniors for your efforts in 2023. On behalf of ALL Fball Warriors & especially those touched by such a great man & level 5 servant leader, Cap you are the best! All were blessed by your presence. GBY friend!
Let us be clear...Brother Rice cancelled practice because we are building a culture of accountability. It had NOTHING to do with COVID or any other area school!. Also, Rice is in person schooling full time starting August 19th.
Based on respecting and trusting the MHSAA's positive narrative and decision, we're handing out thousands of pieces and $$$ worth of football equipment next week. Unless GW drops a hammer, it better be used in competition before it is recollected!
Unreal moment in the weight room today! Striving to create honorable men, we heard from elite honorable leaders and legends. It's special when Coach is in the house & today he was joined by Rice then West Point Grad, veteran hero & future congressman, John James. Thank you!
Warrior Nation please join in congratulating Rubin Williams and the Williams family on his decision to attend Ohio State University by accepting an academic scholarship. One of four 2017 football captains, Rubin is an absolute leader, gentlemen, and Warrior! God Bless you Rube!
Alumni should be so proud!
@lborom_
will be the 15th Rice Warrior to compete in the NFL...15th! The school is only 60 yrs old. So on avg, if you played/play football at Brother Rice, you're accompanied by an NFL talent! Middle schoolers and college recruiters...7101 Lahser Rd!..
5 years ago ... Just a little awesome to see our Legendary Coach Al Fracassa and Brother Rice football represented in the 2013 USA Today ALL USA Team with NFL 1st rounders like Fournette, Peppers, Sony Michel and this years Heisman Trophy Winner Kyler Murray. Good stuff Coach!
3 years ago the Rice weight room on an after school winter Friday had 8 kids in it. How's it go...on bad teams no one leads; on average teams coaches lead; on good teams players lead. What happens when the right culture leads? WE ARE BROTHER RICE

Congratulations Warriors on your Detroit News All North selections. Milia (1st Team), Lacanaria (2nd Team), Andoni, McWood, Potestivo, Minelli, Peters, Sands, Ray, Big Lance Williams, & Coulter (Honorable Mention)
He is!!! and grateful as well but can the MAC Head Coaches or other DI-A coaches please tell me what they don’t like in Rocco Milia? Seriously what the heck are you all looking for?! Did he not run enough pro shuttles for you all?
"why" before "my", "we" before "me" & "who" before "what". Get the right people on the bus & the wrong people off! THEN, figure out where to drive it & what seats to sit in. Don't need to be ruthless, just rigorous! 43 at 6:15 am (vs 8 in 2017) & we don't get fball tech @ Rice.
On behalf of Brother Rice football, an enormous thank you to Coach Tom MaClean and the St. Regis Family for helping out the Piscopink family with an abundant gift card drive. The family needs all the help they can get and your response was incredible. Thank you Regis Raiders!
Warrior Nation join together in congratulating our NLI football commits. Jacob Hickey - Hillsdale, Mac Menard - Butler, Matt Torey - Dayton, Caleb Jackson - Air Force, Mike Laurancelle - Lehigh. Excellent football players going to excellent schools... and maybe more to come!
Trustworthiness + Humility + Passion = Synergy!!!!!! Thank you Lou, The Yellow Flag Team, Coach Merch and LTU! Win/Win Relationships are what it’s about!!!!
Celebrating new beginnings at Lawrence Tech!

What a stud! Warrior alumnus…. “Undersized”, “undervalued”, “underestimated” but NOT an “underachiever!!!!” So happy for you Matt!!!! Lots of smiles on Brother Rice faces!!! Man do you have a ferocious heart!
Brother Rice Football Regular Season Opposition

College coaches it's that time again! As in years past, we welcome & encourage you to attend & evaluate our young men! You know we are structured, relevant, and efficient! Kindly, please DM me or email korzeniewski
@brrice
.edu if you plan on attending. Thank you all!
The Brother Rice community should be proud of these footballers as they spent time trying to walk the path at Micah 6 today in Pontiac placing service above self. Great work gentlemen!
No school but 64 kids with courage and selflessness!!! Thank you to the parents who helped get them there!! Parents, coaches, kids ....CULTURE!!!! That is special .We Are Brother Rice
Thank you Warrior Football Seniors for a wonderful evening last night and the privilege of being able to host dinner for you all at our home. You're a special group and moments off the field are just as important as the moments on the field when building life long relationships!
Brother Rice is so happy for former Warrior standout Larry Borom '17 and his draft prospects entering this weekend! Pictured here with former Warriors DB's coach and Notre Dame grid iron grad, Travis Allen. God Bless you Larry and we're praying that your dreams come true!
Congratulations to the Brother Rice Soccer program...coaches, players, and supporters alike on their fabulous season culminating in a State Championship Runner Up! Incredible accomplishment!
1) Former Rice Fball Captain...”if you don’t want people to know...don’t do it!” Simple enough if you operate with integrity. 2) 100 + at football workouts for 2nd consecutive day. Coaches, kids, parents, admin busting their arse to Act Like Champions!!! We Are Brother Rice!
Brother Rice athletics and our families were beyond fortunate to have such a class act supporting us! May God assuage the pain of the Lenihan family and Lorraine’s bereavement. RIP friend, you will be dearly missed!!!😢😢
It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of John Lenihan. John was a kind generous man who was a fixture at Brother Rice for 20+ yrs and in the
@CHSL1926
. Our prayers are with Lorraine and his family. Love you John! I will miss you my friend.
@BroRiceWarriors
Thank you to the Brother Rice Football Alumni Warriors who responded to our "All-Time, All 4 Years, Agility Drill Warriors" request. We aspire to add more in future years. For now, you define a proud reminder of mental toughness for our young men, program, and school to see!
Congratulations to our Football Warriors receiving Detroit News ALL STATE D3 recognition... Rocco Milia (1st Team), Jake Coulter, Cole Lacanaria, Matt Andoni, & O McWood ( Honorable Mention)! Proud of all of you and your teammates!
There was a time & culture when this sign hung outside the Brother Rice weight room - and the list didn't stay vacant. With passionate student leaders and Captains who lead by example, accountability is BACK! Helly job to the Warriors who complete the workouts w/o an audience!
The Brother Rice Football Program is extending condolences to the the Magiera Family and Friends over the passing of long time supporter and filmer, Dave Magiera. Dave was extremely loyal, loved Brother Rice, and was an absolute gentlemen! God rest his soul.
God bless the young men in this photo as Brother Rice Warrior Football tries to live our mission, in this case, by growing the Pontiac community with service. We thank you Micah 6 for the opportunity to lend our hands with real purpose.
The Power of The Chocolate Bunny...RITUALIZE TO ACTUALIZE! Alumni Football Warriors know what's up!! 32 more Chocolate Bunnies passed out after a great Agility Drill Season! Proud of these young men. "Passion For Our Purpose - TEAM!"
WE ARE BROTHER RICE!!!!
Despite the weather, it is a great signing day to be a Warrior and acknowledge

@LukeSands8
(Ave Maria) as the these 4 young men have signed/committed to a college football opportunity & education. Congrats guys!
Brother Rice’s Aristotle Taylor lost his father in eighth grade. He went into competitive gaming, before finally deciding to join the football team — his senior year.
Now he's heading to play for Stanford. His incredible story:
The full speed tripod at the 16 second mark is flat out wicked and strongly discouraged unless you are an absolutely special, special physically gifted specimen.
WOW! Cole Lacanaria made an appearance on SportsCenter today, as he was featured on the ESPN segment “You Got Mossed” for his amazing catch against OLSM! Congrats
@Cole_Lac
Crazy recruiting day at Brother Rice today but thank you coaches for making Rice your destination. Northern Michigan, Trine, Syracuse, John Carroll, Indiana, Butler, Carleton, and Grand Valley State University you are much appreciated! Be safe on the road!
Congratulations to our Detroit Free Press All North Selections - Cole Lacanaria and Rocco Millia (1st Team), Matt Andoni, Jake Coulter, and Oscar McWood (Honorable Mentions). Awesome work Football Warriors! Thank you Detroit Free Press!
Anytime a school can add a young man who is in the top 5th nationally on the HS entrance exam, speaks 2 languages, excels in competition when the school day ends, and has a great value system....that school got better. XB, Brother Rice just got better today!!!!
Congratulations to
@JoeyPietrosante

@jack_fleury2
on the being named MHSFCA All Region 4. Your teammates and coaches are very proud of you and this well earned honor!
'21 D3 Bro. Rice Schedule Notables
Wk 1 - MI's 1st largest school
Wk 2 - MI's 3rd largest school
Wk 4- D2 State Runner-Up
Wk 5 - D1 Regional Runner Up
Wk 8 - D2 State Semi Finalist
Wk 9 - D4 State Champ
We are looking for a week 7 from a team WILLING to SCHEDULE UP as we do.
After playing excellent football programs in the first 2 weeks of the season (Utica Eisenhower and Toledo Central Catholic), it is great to see the Brother Rice lower level football teams remain undefeated at 3-0-1. Is the cupboard is beginning to fill up? 😃
It’s taking time to digest but when a fball program’s cumulative GPA is 3.45 & qualifying only for the state regionals is a bitter pill to swallow, the kids & support within your program must have some real special people! 7101 Lahser Road for any 8th grader or college coach!
Translation....the patron with the oxygen tank smoking by the slots is safer, less of a risk to our society or themselves, than the perfectly healthy youngster running sprints as they improve what is already fantastic cardio capacity...got it!😂
We allow casinos to open at 15% knowing the higher health risk for those who typically attend because we are legitimately worried about the economy but we cancel football which is played by healthy teenagers who are at a lower risk to protect their health?
Brother Rice, hopefully we can appreciate the rarest of opportunities tonight as Warrior alumni, brothers, and current Miami RedHawks -
@ryanmcwood13
&
@OscarMcWood
- start tonight against Ball State. What a moment for the McWoods! ESPN +
College coaches when you see a young man with ability like this to get open and the challenges he poses in man or single coverage am I wrong to think that he offers significant value to an offense? It sucks to play man coverage on him!
Congratulations to our Detroit News All-State Division 3-4 post season award winners and their teammates!
Nolan Ray - 1st Team
Andrew Agbay - Honorable Mention
Cole Lacanaria - Honorable Mention
Luke Sands - Honorable Mention
Jackson Minelli - Honorable Mention
The record hasn't been what we seek but the energy, attitude, excitement & appreciation for each other and this program is controllable & sustains - even on cold, wet days! Ergo, the greeting Wildcat Nation receives as they prep for another CYO Title is palpable. Good luck boys!
The MHSAA isn’t the federal government. The feds get their guy 95% of time. The MHSAA catches like .002%. You have to make a serious error or have poor intentions to be forced into a non COVID forfeiture during the playoffs.
The ‘23 Chocolate Bunny chase is on. SEAL (Succeed w/ Effort, Attitude, & Leadership) Week began w/ 79 footballers & 2 has-beens for a total of 81! Great job Warriors & coaches! Our ‘23 Motto … “LOVE!” The strongest of human capacities - it can make a team unstoppable!
Brother Rice High School, MI is looking to fill the JV Offensive Coordinator/QB position. The JV football program is coming off back to back undefeated seasons. If interested please email resume to korzeniewski

After 3 years, Brother Rice's run/pass distribution is 52/48%. A 62.5 win %, means more run plays at the end of games. In a system that involves all, it's important to know - the Stone Age didn't end because we ran out of stones! Great place for big and small skill!
College coaches, I played it in college (very poorly), I've been where you are as a staffer, so I humbly know what it takes. I've watched a lot of high schoolers move on to play for you...if you need a productive LBer who will knock your mustache off, please look at this one.
For the record, won’t ever hear a Brother Rice athletic team refer to it’s self as a power and nor would we lay claim to the CHSL Central Division unless we competed in all sports! Congrats Brother Rice Baseball on defeating UD in all 6 games this year.
Just saw a car sticker @ license plate pointing out that presumably this coach’s football program won a State Title. Empty can rattles the most I guess. Imagine legend Al Fracassa toting rings or putting stickers & vanity plates on his or Phyl’s car for each of his titles 😂
A huge thank you (no pun intended) to '89 Brother Rice & Notre Dame offensive line alumnus Jordy Halter. A very productive morning as he presented the instruction & drill work of former ND offensive line coach Joe Moore to our Warriors bigs this morning. God Bless the Halter's!
As a colleague and a father of a student, I am grateful for and inspired by, the dynamic teachers and faculty at Brother Rice who were prepared and who've risen above these circumstances as they continue to educate and hold students accountable to their educational goals! WABR!
Congratulations to the Brother Rice JV players and coaching staff on an outstanding season under difficult circumstances. Outscoring formidable opposition 171-6 with at least 9 of your sophomore classmates spending the entire season on varsity! Keep building!
Some FAST sprinting in Vegas for a pair of Michigan stars who will be entering senior year.
@udodii
10.60, 21.12 (10.65 heat) 1st in both!
@millerbrandon24
10.68, 21.76 (2nd & 3rd)
Lightning fast in the heat ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
(Looks like no wind gauge though ☹️- West Coast AAU JO)
Not going to be easy and the analytics suggest that there are certain teams who are willing to consistently challenge themselves - right or wrong. At Brother Rice, it is a truth that year after year, there are "No jelly fish"!
// THE TOUGHEST SCHEDULES IN DIVISION 3 //
We ran the numbers through our computer model
These 8 football teams are playing the TOUGHEST schedules in D3 this year
Udodi!! Unreal! Still waiting...as the fastest man in our country at your age...with an OFFICIAL 6.67 60 METERS, what your legitimate 40 YARD dash would be? Based on all the high schoolers apparently "timing" 4.4's or less, I'm guessing you're a 3.9..maybe 3.8? You da man!
What a debut for Udodi Onwuzurike! The freshman breaks the school 60-meter record in his first collegiate race, running 6.67 to win the UW Indoor Preview!
#GoStanford
Congratulations to an outstanding St Mary’s team. How could any Warrior not be proud of our guys though! Awesome fight, awesome support, awesome energy! Lots to be proud of Baseball Warriors!
Great evening of dinner and fun with an absolutely awesome group of senior leaders! So proud and honored to have them represent Brother Rice football! Finished with a helly 9 inning "3-2" Catholic League rules wiffle ball game! Thank you gentlemen - "LOVE"... "No jelly fish!"
Spectacular news from Coral Gables, FL.... Brother Rice Warrior, Mark Lott, earned a Preferred Walk On and will be a member of the Miami Hurricanes football program showing up to play football this upcoming August. Congratulations Mark on being a Hurricane! Great work!
Thank you CC and AD Babicz for a tremendous act of kindness and generosity. Mr. Babicz delivered - in person - a significant portion of the CC-v Rice hockey game proceeds to the Piscopink Family in order to aid the family in the long recovery process. Class Act!!
The Warrior community would like to thank
@DETROITCCAD
and the Shamrock community for their concern and support for the Piscopink family. Our faith is strong and makes us one
@CHSL1926
family.
Happy for the CHSL and Michigan high school football programs, coaches, and kids as we are all finally back doing what we know is important to be doing. It's great for the kids & coaches to be working hard, creating normalcy, and having an opportunity to make themselves better!
Tremendous work Warriors not only on the field but in the classroom as well. Congratulations to our MHSFCA Academic All-State Football Warriors (and also Jack)
We keep seeing these seniors from Brother Rice going to elite colleges next year. I wonder how much getting an EDUCATION - not just a diploma - from a school that has been committed to in person EDUCATION since August has helped. Why would risk it if you don’t have to?!

Unbelievable job Brendan Holt! When you make the big dollars in 5 years, make sure you remember who called the plays on your TD receptions in high school 🤑🤑😀😁
Because mothers endure labor, that is the reason that high school footballers in Michigan should wear face coverings. Governor you serious?! That's your criteria for making this decision?! Please tell these young men of MI there's more than that. That is unimaginable criteria!
