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.

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!

Interesting comments. In coed high schools, is gym still separated by gender?

However, it was the bottom half of the boys and the bottom half of the girls that actually got some action!

What was the old line when we were in school? 99% of college women are having sex. The other 1% go to st johns.

I spent part of my military service at Fort Hood, Texas. I took a post grad course at both Baylor and UT. One of my fellow draftees was from Austin and shared his method for a guaranteed hookup. Focus on the freshmen because the upper class girls were either busy chasing jocks or already taken. It was pretty close to 99% at those schools!🤠
