Joliet Catholic - 8

Rocco Szambelan threw a complete game (6H, 2R, 1ER, 7K, 1BB) to lead the Hilltoppers (21-14) to the JCA Class 3A Regional Championship.
Nick Koontz had two RBI’s and Cody Busch scored two runs. Koen Lynes, Derrick Pomatto…
Today, the Joliet Catholic Academy community honors and remembers the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. Their courage, selflessness, and dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten. As we gather this Memorial Day, may we pause in gratitude and reflection for those who gave everything in service to our nation. #OnwardJCA

Rocco Szambelan fired 6 innings of 2-hit baseball, striking out six. Koen Lynes threw a scoreless seventh. A 4-run seventh gave the Hilltoppers breathing room, as they improve to 14-13 on the year (8-5 in ESCC play). JCA has won five in a row.
Attention IL: “Ms. Hochul is only the second Democrat to opt a state in… but she won’t be the last. That she did so in New York suggests that the politics of school choice have shifted and that even union-dominated states can’t ignore the coalition of parents demanding options.”
The teachers unions are among the most politically powerful groups in the country, but in America’s 250th year, parent voices are getting louder. And some Democratic leaders are finally listening, writes @Tommy_USA

Absolutely insane. This should be a crime. Taxpayers will pay for teachers to receive “professional learning” & forfeit a day of learning for students so the CTU can hold their annual protest.
Chicago is the most dysfunctional city and school system in the USA.
Always a great time getting out on the road and connecting with our alumni; this event brought together @jcaonline graduates from the Class of 1963 through 2021. Thank you for your continued support of our Angels and Hilltoppers. #OnwardJCA

Here's everything Pete Bevacqua had to say today at the White House.
"Quite frankly if we can't agree on regulations with repercussions and we go down the road of a free market enterprise we will be at the point of no return."

ICYMI: @GovCox highlights his partnership with @GovofCO: “We’re very fortunate to get to work together as Governors…One of those bipartisan issues is education and education choice. We happen to be a red state and a blue state, a Republican and a Democrat, who both have opted in to this program.”

“For governors, the choice between helping families in their own states or diverting billions to other states is also a no-brainer. They should opt in.”
