The 2017 Crusader six-man team started the year with 19 players, five of whom returned from the runner-up finish in 2016.  Coach Noonan and Coach Williams had high hopes that this year’s group would grow into a solid team, and they were not disappointed.  After several pre-season schedule changes, the opening game finally arrived with a visit to Sacred Heart in Crosby where we posted a smooth 52-0 victory.  The next game at home against St. Ambrose was more difficult because of the need to play around several injuries – but the power running game and some big plays put us over the top, 26-19.  St. Theresa visited the next week – however our offense was firing on all cylinders, and we cruised to a 48-0 victory.  The big game followed against undefeated St. Thomas More, also here at home.  The visitors scored first, putting us behind for the first time during the season.  We responded on offense to tie the game and took the lead with another score on offense and an interception return on defense.  It was a tough contest, but we prevailed 30-19.  A visit to St. Rose and a forfeit by St. Mary Magdalene completed the undefeated regular season.  The championship game pitted us, once again, against St. Thomas More.  Although the game was tight, we scored first and never lost the lead – thanks to a very strong defensive play in the second half – we won the title…27-18!

It was a successful season in many respects, most importantly with regard to what our players learned about themselves and how they came together as a team.  The players deserve credit for much hard work and dedication.
