Texas and football... it doesn't get much better than that!

Friday night football!
The Atonement Crusaders six-man football team is up and running. And I do mean running! I've been watching them practice, and these boys are excited. Last night we had our first event -- a scrimmage with the boys from Lutheran High School, our near neighbor. It took place on our new athletic field, which by general consensus from everyone who visits, is one of the best fields around. Our kids were fantastic! We even had a for-real "Hail Mary pass" which caused the crowd to roar with approval. As I said at the time, "We've got the Hail Mary... what can the Lutherans do?"

Never in a million years would I have thought, when we departed in 1992,that there would ever be football at Our Lady of the Atonement!!
Do you plans to join TAPPS and play regular football against other Catholic high schools?
Sorry, that was supposed to be do you HAVE plans. :-)
We're in TAPPS, which is the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools. We have a schedule of games which puts us in competition with private schools and Catholic schools within a particular range of size.
