Vacc is the best sports writer in my lifetime, always captures the unique story angle with tremendous style and flow;


Vacc is an excellent writer with his finger on the pulse of sports people in our area. LI guy, now living in Jersey. {We re-habbed in P.T. at the same place, after each of us broke our legs; he is actually a very quiet, unassuming guy}

He sees my St. John's hat and immediately tells me he is a big fan and even bigger fan of Looie, who was still alive at the time, even though Vacc is a Bonnie.

So much better than the other local Italian American sportswriter, "Mike", Lupica, pompous little ass.
 
Back in the day, Bishop Laughlin was its equal! And its sports program was far better.
Regis was much more well-known for academics than sports, certainly back in my high school days ('67-'71).

Now and then, they would field a decent team in some sport or another, but never a sports powerhouse, like a Laughlin was.

Lupica sucks.
 
Bobcats had a 4 point lead at halftime last year when we played, 39-35. Then SJU flipped the switch and won 96-73
That was the teams MO last year. Won a lot of bets against SJU in the first half and on them in the second half. So many slow starts and great second halves. We'll see if this year's team is the same.

I think Loughlin was much larger..we had 2000 kids total, 50 kids in each classroom. I think half the guys in my frosh class ran track! We had a much bigger pool to draw from sportswise.

Regis is a relatively small enrollment school.......

My high school, Nazareth Diocesan, for example, back in the day, was about 350 students per year; I think Regis might have been 100 students each year.....

Per Wikipedia, Regis has 540 students in total. In my year we started with about 145 wound up with graduating class of around 115 if memory serves me well.

Totally agree. Loughlin had grad class of 500 guys. It is still a great school. 99% of graduates go on to college. Now a coed school.

The Catholic formerly all boys schools who went co-ed did so because of declining co-op scores in the bottom half of the class. By accepting women they cpuld essentially admit the top half of boys and the top half of girls into their schools.

Back in my day, the Diocese chose what HS you were slotted into based on where you lived. The year before and the year after my 8th grade, Loughlin was the choice. My year Mater Christi was the winner. New school and coed (of course, the only time we saw girls was in the cafeteria and library and the nuns made sure the gym was divided during the day). I guess taking the GG to Loughlin from Greenpoint in 1968-72 would have been...interesting.

Can't wait for the QUINNIPIAC game tomorrow. Hi Mods!
