First Guest Speaker of 2009 at March Meeting

Our first guest speaker of 2009 grew up in Irvington and graduated from Our Lady of Lourdes in 1971. He then graduated from Scecina Memorial High School where he earned All-City honors in football before becoming a Division II All-Conference football player at Butler University.

He returned to Lourdes to coach wrestling and with Gilbert Durham, he led the team to consecutive City Titles after years of building the program alongside Lourdes greats, Tom Yaggi and Frank Eagan.

OLL Wrestling Scores Team Win

Congratulations to Bob Sponsel, Dan Ireland and Rob Rebein (Men's Club members). The cadet wrestlers claimed their first victory at home against St. Michael Greenfield Thursday evening. Equally impressive were the 'little guys' who rose to the occasion with competitive spirit and an understanding of technique. Go Lyons!
