A great way to start

I have just returned from the first game of this weekend's Effingham Tournament. The clouds came in after the game began and cooled the temperatures a bit. It is amazing how different 91 degrees feels under the sun and under the clouds. We also had a good, strong breeze throughout much of the game.

Before the game against Altamont began, we took a brief moment of silence in honor of Coach K.

I'm beyond delighted to say the boys played very well, better than I've seen them play in quite some time. The St. Anthony Bulldogs scored the only two points of the game. Congratulations, boys!

We had a good number of fans come out to support the team who commented that it looked as though we had enough coaches to field a time. Several of our alumni players came out to help the boys, and for their help - and the support of the fans - I'm truly grateful.

In just over an hour I will celebrate Mass for the De Colores community in the Effingham area and then begin working on Sunday's homily.
