Band-by-Band outlook for Field Day 2019
Padre Pio
St. Maximilian Kolbe St. Raphael
St. Sebastian St. Brendan
Motto: One Pride
Outlook: Leo was the fi rst Band
of Brothers champions, and
completed the quadruple-peat.
After some tough losses, this
may be the year for Leo, with Seniors like
D.J. Dixon, Patrick O’Hara, Cam Terrill,
Jimmy Phillips, Mason Everly, and more.
Motto: Live for Others
Outlook: Max Kolbe has come
in last or near it in the past three
Field Days, but they should do
very well this year. Seniors Jack
Gerraghty, Paddy Dansbury, Daniel
Ervin, and Mikey Shaffer lead the way.
With a strong core of Juniors, it’s hard to
see Kolbe losing this year.
Motto: Built for Others
Outlook: The Field Day and the
Band of Brothers tournament
champs from 2018-19 have lost
a lot to graduation. “Last year
speaks for itself,” said Senior Charlie
Nelson. “Watch out cause Sebastian street
basketball is coming.” Seniors like Zach
Brown, Greg Piscopink, and Joe Gates
lead the way.

Of New
Faculty
The new school year brings some new
faces in the classrooms. The Chieftain
staff sat down with our new faculty in
attempt to get to know them better.
Game On
St. Leo
S EPTEMBER 2019
Motto: Pray, Hope, Don’t Worry
Outlook: Padre Pio won the
Field Day title three years in a
row before fi nishing second last
year. Leading the mission to bounce back
to the top of the heap this year are Seniors
Luke Newman, Jon Brantley, and Dylan
McNulty.
Motto: Brothers Forever
Outlook: Every band goes into
Field Day thinking they’re
going to win. This year, that is
very possible for Raphael, the
overall Band Cup champs from 2017-18,
with Seniors Michael Molokac, Jordan
Hyde, Aidan Connaughton, and Tommy
Chisholm.
Motto: Victorious Voyagers
Outlook: For the past three
years, Brendan has fi nished
between second and fourth each
year, but they are gunning for
the ‘ship in 2019, with a strong crew of
Seniors who could carry them to fi rst:
Alex Andoni, Anthony D’Angelo, Jack
Lockwood, Ray Margherio, and Ryan
Murphy.
