GAME BROADCASTS. For the first time ever, our varsity football games were broadcast live on the internet through SportsLine Radio Network, enabling our alumni anywhere in the world to hear our games.Many thanks to Jack and Helen Townsend, P '06, '08, '09 for underwriting the live internet radio broadcasts for the entire season!
LEROY SELMON'S. Please take your family to dinner at Leroy Selmon's Barbecue Restaurant! They have been very good to us this season donating the food for our pre-game family barbecue before the TC game. A special thank you to Leroy Selmon's.
PARENT PHOTOGRAPHERS. Special thanks and hugs to three Jesuit parents who have provided us with so many wonderful photos this season: Tom Moore P '03, '05 and '11 who has been so generous with his time and talent all season long (and several years past) in taking terrific photos of both our JV and Varsity games Tony Rosquete P '09 for his outstanding photos of the Kathleen and TC games; and Christina Shakespeare P '11, who though she doesn't have a son on either of our football teams, has come to several games and taken many wonderful photos.
OUR PARENT VOLUNTEERS. Many thanks to all of our parents who have given so generously of their time this season. We use between 8 and 13 volunteers a week -- even more for special games like Homecoming and Senior Night. Coordinating such willing workers is a pleasure for me, and I know the coaches and players appreciate you too.

Jesuit Connection at Georgia Tech!
The St. Pete Times recently noted the "Jesuit Connection" at Georgia Tech highlighting that the Yellow Jackets had five former Tigers on the roster including: CB Michael Peterson '07, OL A.J. Smith '04, WR Andrew Smith '04, RB/WR Anthony Allen '06 and OT Phil Smith '08. The 11/02/08 article reported that Michael Peterson had an outstanding game in the 31-28 win against Florida State "with six tackles, one for a loss, and a pass breakup that led to an interception." Go former Tigers!
