Beautiful moments last night at the Jesuit JV football Blue-White intrasquad scrimmage facilitated by the Children's Cancer Center.
Tony, a brave 8-year-old battling cancer, was a special guest of the Tigers and he lit up Alumni Field. Tony took a handoff from QB Liam Desmond ’29 and scored a 25-yard touchdown; provided color commentary in the press box alongside the Voice of the Tigers, John Pedrero ’81; mingled with the coaches and staff; and gave words of inspiration to Tigers such as No. 50 Chase Bennett ‘29.
Thank you, Tony, for sharing your courageous spirit with Jesuit football!

The generosity of Anthony Garcia '89, P '29 and Paul Puleo '90, P '27 to Jesuit High School will be visible to the students as they return to campus this week.
Inside the Tiger Palace, the brilliant new scoreboards on the north and south ends are named in honor of Garcia, whose son Lucca is entering his sophomore year.
The beautiful entry pavilion along Loyola Lane, shortly after you turn onto campus, is now the Puleo Family Pavilion in honor of the generosity of Puleo, whose son Evan is entering his senior year.
Thank you to Anthony Garcia '89 and Paul Puleo '90 for your leadership support of the mission of Jesuit High School!

This is by far the best interview I have ever seen with someone who holds or held elective office
Every school should show this to the students
@BenSasse - exactly what we need
@gregauman Unfortunately Licht's track record drafting edges has not been great. Braswell and Joe TY have been zeros. Walker is an unknown and Diaby and Nelson are starters but wouldn't call them elite.
@gregauman Doesn't make sense to pay him when you are talking about the % of the cap we have allocated to the wide receiver position. Godwin's K along with using a 1st last year. Can't spend that much at the position with all the holes on defense. Good luck and Tez and McMillan next up.
University of South Florida offensive tackle Connor McLaughlin, a 2020 Jesuit High School graduate, has been named to the Division I Football Academic All-America First Team! He is the first USF football player ever to earn First Team Academic All-America honors!
McLaughlin played the 2025 season with the Bulls after graduating with a 3.78 GPA from Stanford, where he was a four-time Academic All-Conference honoree. He earned a Master's degree from USF in civil engineering, graduating in December with a 4.0 GPA.
McLaughlin started all 12 regular season games for the Bulls and was named Second Team All-Conference in helping lead USF to a 9-4 record and bowl appearance while ranking No. 3 nationally in total offense (488.7 ypg) and No. 5 in scoring (40.5 ppg).

@MattNorlander Wanted to compliment you on an excellent article. I didn't know anything about Coward but I am a fan and you really brought his story to life. Great job!
@UncleChaps Based on your list I think you would really enjoy this book. The Vortex: A True Story of History's Deadliest Storm, an Unspeakable War, and Liberation
