TWIBCS Volume 3, Issue 25 Catholic. Gentlemen. Leaders. Sunday, April 25, 2021 Crusader Lax Opens Their Season with an Impressive Road Win Over Ramapo By, Joe Duffy April 19 – Franklin Lakes, NJ – The Bergen Catholic Crusaders travelled to Franklin Lakes to open their season against the formidable Ramapo Raiders. It has been an extremely long layoff and both teams brought the energy and intensity you would expect from the very beginning of warmups. Despite the rain, the atmosphere was electric, and so was the Crusader offense early. A 6-1 first quarter got the Crusaders rolling as the controlled possession and pace for most of the half. Brenden Kelly would get the Crusaders on the board less than two minutes in, and that would just be the start for the Bergen Catholic attacker. Luke Macejka would make it 2-0 Bergen Catholic off a feed in transition from Brenden Kelly. Ramapo would respond with a goal of their own shortly after, but the Crusaders showed no signs of slowing down offensively. Kelly and Macejka would each tally second goals in the quarter to extend the lead to 4-1 BC. Ramapo would push after each Crusader goal, but the Bergen Catholic defenders did an excellent job of keeping Ramapo out of the middle and too the outside. Kyle Loughlin would get on the board, and Kelly would add another for a first quarter hat trick. It was a dominant start for the Crusaders and the second quarter would prove to be much of the same. Ramapo needed to a quick push to get themselves back into the game and they did exactly that to start the second quarter. The Raiders scored early to cut the BC lead to 6-2. Ramapo would steal the momentum briefly, but Brenden Kelly would halt their comeback hopes yet again, as he would score back-to-back goals for the Crusaders extending the lead to 8-2. Bergen Catholics defense would shut Ramapo down the rest of the half and goalie Dominic Pira was strong in net. The Crusader defense kept the Ramapo offense to the outside, giving Pira the Junior goalie Dom Pira set up the BC offense early with some 60 yard bombs to the attack. Penn State-bound Brenden Kelly had a day. 6 goals and 2 assists is a nice season opener!

thy bounty, through Christ, Our Lord. Amen

The Rule Love one another as I have loved you.

St. Patrick’s Breastplate (shortened) Christ with me. Christ before me. Christ behind me. Christ in me. Christ beneath me. Christ above me.

Christ on my right. Christ on my left. Christ when I lie down. Christ when I sit down. Christ when I arise. Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me. Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me.

Christ in every eye that sees me. Christ in every ear that hears me.

Prayer of St Francis Lord make me an instrument of Your peace

Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness joy. O Divine master grant that I may

Not so much seek to be consoled as to console To be understood, as to understand.

To be loved. as to love For it's in giving that we receive

And it's in pardoning that we are pardoned And it's in dying that we are born...

To eternal life.
